SWEDEN

"Nature tourism" remains Sweden’s biggest attraction, with visitors from around the world drawn by the country’s stunning nature and untouched wilderness. At the top of many travelers’ wish list is Lapland, with its unique scenery and once-in-a-lifetime experiences such as the midnight sun, the northern lights (aurora borealis), winter’s Arctic chill and a mystical silence. The Swedish capital of Stockholm has long been famed for its idyllic setting ― sprawled across 14 islands ― and its rich cultural heritage.
