About
Sweden
We are offering tours of sweden, sweden trip. The midnight sun, the snowbound winters, meatballs, herring, Vikings and Volvos, ABBA and the Hives - whatever your pre-existing notions about Sweden may be, a visit to this multifaceted country is bound to both confirm and confound them. Tourist attractions in Sweden are numerous. A stroll through the Swedish countryside will often lead to a picnic on some ancient king’s burial mound. Cycling routes frequently pass through fields crowned with
ship-shaped stone graves. In cities and alongside roadways, rune stones
staunchly declare the historical equivalent of ‘Ingmar was here’.
But Sweden’s days as a warlike nation are long gone.
Gotland
When you think of Sweden, beaches really doesn't come to your mind, but
this country has some of the most beautiful beaches of the world. Some of
the best beaches are found on the Baltic island of Gotland, which is not
only popular among Swedes, but also attracts thousands of visitors every
summer. The pleasant and surprisingly flat landscape of Gotland is excellent
for cycling. The walled medieval Hanseatic town Visby is on the World
Heritage list of the Unesco and an attraction on its own.

Lake Siljan is in the heart of Dalarna, central Sweden and is the center of
folklore and tradition. Dalarna, a popular holiday destination in summer is
visited every year by thousands of Swedes to see the midsummer pole set up.
The nearby town of Rättvik is known for its folk dancing and also the
bear park in Orsa.
