Of course, if you aren’t sure which places are the very best to visit, this list will give you a great start on making that decision.
Stockholm
The capital of Scandinavia happens to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Stockholm offers an ideal combination of ancient history and tradition, gorgeous scenery, progressiveness and modern amenities along with plenty of charm. It’s safe and easy to get around to fascinating day trips nearby, the surrounding water is clean, the air is fresh and there are lots of green areas throughout. In fact, there is no large city that has more green spaces than Stockholm. If you enjoy the outdoors, you might want to spend the morning exploring the many parks by bicycle, and the afternoon paddling the sea in a kayak. Shopping enthusiasts can search through the artistic treasures at Moderna Musset or enjoy upscale shopping at Ostermalm, an elegant neighborhood with high-end local designer boutiques.

Lapland, which is spread across Sweden as well as Norway and Finland is considered by many to be Europe’s last true wilderness area. In this land of the midnight sun and the northern lights (from mid-autumn through early spring) is definitely for the adventurous. Kiruna is one of its more popular destinations where visitors can meet the Samis and their reindeer herds, as well as explore the remote and stunning wilderness filled with countless lakes. There is practically an endless list of opportunities for excursions, including becoming a musher for the day, embarking on a moose safari, ski and snowmobile tours, ice climbing and more.
