My Sweden Travel Guide is a website created to share useful information on Sweden with people who are planning to make a visit there. It is not a travelogue, in that I am not writing about my travels there. Rather, it is the result of my own interest and passion to learn about Sweden, to discover all its wonderful sights, and I put them together right here, to share with others who also enjoy exploring Sweden without leaving their desk.

There's so much to write about Sweden but I'm only getting started. Do bear with me as this website develops. It may take a while, but my ambition is to eventually document all the cities and sights in the country. I know I will have a great time doing it, and the result is, I would have covered more of Sweden to fill many, many vacations.

About Sweden

Sweden (Swedish: Sverige) is a sparsely populated Nordic country in northern Europe. It shares a border with Norway to the west and Finland to the northeast. It is also connected to Denmark by the Öresund Bridge-Tunnel. Covering 450,295 sq km (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the third largest country in the European Union in terms of area, but it only has a population of 9.4 million people, giving it a relatively low population density. The capital and biggest city is Stockholm.

More on Sweden

Sweden is today a constitutional monarchy with one of the highest Human Development Index. The country comprises 25 provinces with 15% of the country lying north of the Arctic Circle.
