Top Things to See in Sweden

See the Vasa Museum. As one of Sweden's Wonders of the World, showcases an incredibly preserved 17th century ship, complete with all six levels for your viewing. This battle ship was to show, how great was Sweden and instead fell on the launch.
Visiting the archipelago. It is worth spending some money to take a boat from Stockholm to the different islands and experience exactly what they are going. Above all, be sure to check out the archipelago.
Stroll along Haga in Gothenburg. It's worth a day trip just to walk along the cobblestone streets and shops windows. They also have some wonderful restaurants , so stop by one of the many when you get hungry for lunch.
Stockholm. There is so much history in Stockholm that if you stay less than three days here, will you leave feeling that you missed. From their museums, nightlife, there is no time to be bored. It is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen. TheSwedes knew how to build long before IKEA came around.
Lapland. Located far north is tundra-like landscape in Sweden is called Lapland. That is where the Sami, Sweden's indigenous people, continues to make his home in the snowy cold, and where you can see reindeer, do some great skiing, and experience the amazing arctic north.
Stay in the Ice Hotel. Located in the north, the Ice Hotel is a hotel built during the winter months out of (you guessed it) ice. You live in an essentially giant igloo. There is an ice bar, ice room, and an ice bed (with a big fur blankets!).
Gotland. This island is a popular place to visit in the summer and where most Swedes spend their summer. Week 29 is the most popular and crowded week. The main town, Visby, a medieval walled city that is incredibly beautiful. It's like going through the 1400s.
Catch the summer. Swede celebrate summer solstice with a gigantic party. It is not often hot and bright here, and they make the most of it by dancing around a pole, eat, drink, and enjoy nature.
West Coast. This beautiful coastline has been smoothed and carved out by glaciers. Take a boat trip here is a great way to see the Scandinavian fjords without visiting Sweden's most expensive neighbor, Norway. There is also a UNESCO rock-carving site over the Tanumshede also.
