Sweden is the third largest country in western Europe. Because of its long, narrow shape and northerly location, the landscape is highly diversified.
The ever-varying Swedish coastline stretches for thousands of kilometres, from Haparanda on the Finnish border high up in the Gulf of Bothnia, all the way to Norway and the North Sea to the west.
The Swedish landscape features countless lakes and waterways, surrounded by vast pine and spruce forests in the north, mixed with romantic oak, birch and other leafy forests further south.
Sweden has majestic mountains and glaciers, as well as wide-open countryside, interspersed by small idyllic villages and vibrant cities such as the capital, Stockholm. |

Stockholm
With every corner you turn there's something for every taste. Stockholm has an abundance of cafe's, restaurants, stores and parks to suit every need and desire. From grand Opera house where splendid operas are staged to Skansen, open-air museum and Zoo, where you can visit moose, dolphins, bears and much more, there's never a reason to be bored.
Take a walk down the cobbled-stoned streets of Gamla Stan (the old town), gaze up at the narrow houses of yesteryear and you will certainly feel the vibrations of the horse driven carriages and hear the baker boasting about the freshness of his cinnamon rolls centuries before you. While you're in the neighbourhood, why not drop in and visit the Royal Castle where our kings and queens have resided since the 1200'ss
Today, Stockholm stands for advanced technology, a strong history of design, extremely high culinary standards and trendy inhabitants. The lifestyle in Stockholm is global and new ideas quickly gain a foothold. Fashion houses and IT companies' use Stockholm as a test market due to the reputation Stockholmers have of being open, trendy and tech-friendly. Stockholm has a fantastic location, this is where Lake Mälaren meets the sea, and is a blend of sparkling beauty and royal splendour.

Malmö is Sweden’s third largest city and a commercial centre in southern Sweden. From having been an industrial city, Malmö has transformed into a knowledge-city.
Malmö has obtained a new ecological quarter at the Western Harbour, with exciting architecture and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
Malmö is also a multi-cultural city, with a population that speaks more than 100 different languages. Its cultural life is active. Contemporary art, with both national and international orientation, is shown at the Malmö Art Gallery, Rooseum, and Malmö Art Museum. Furthermore, there are about thirty private galleries. Malmö Music Theatre has one of Sweden’s foremost stages for opera and musicals, and the Malmö Symphony Orchestra is internationally recognised.
Malmö’s beautiful parks and green open spaces are renowned. How many cities can boast a 2 kilometre-long sand beach with clean water within walking-distance from the heart of the city? Proximity is another distinctive feature of life in Malmö; it is possible to walk to most places and a large part of the centre comprises pedestrian shopping areas.
