for this list we're looking at sweden's most remarkable cities
towns regions and natural spaces that you should consider visiting
number 10 malmo sweden's third largest city malmo earns its place on your travel itinerary with its
unique blend of new and old a medieval city its rich history has been preserved
in the form of numerous centuries-old structures including the iconic malmahoo slot castle the old
town as a whole is a gift to history buffs or anyone with a passion for architecture
speaking of melma is also a living showcase of swedish ingenuity and design the skyline
is equally defined by strikingly modern buildings like the instantly recognizable turning torso if
you want to make this an international trip it's worth noting that mauma is conveniently located
just across the olesen bridge from copenhagen the capital city of denmark but honestly given how
vibrant progressive and culturally diverse malmo is in its own right you might never want to leave
number 9 scornet located at the southernmost end of sweden scornet also known as scania is a county
that actually encompasses the aforementioned city of malmo given everything that this county has to
offer however we felt that malmo and the larger area of schoolnet actually want their own entries
a verdant and fertile county schoolnet is the ultimate escape for anyone looking to get away
from the city and that applies both to locals and travelers alike for those needing a bit of
peace and tranquility there's no shortage of walking paths and forested areas where you can
reconnect with nature along the coast however the greenery gives way soft sandy beaches
that stretch as far as the eye can see a stallion with its little fishing villages is especially
charming with arguably the tastiest food in all of sweden and some of the best weather scornet
certainly is blessed well there be sure to check out the local highlights of lund and easter number
eight maastrand maastrand might be small but with over 800 years of history it's an island
community with a lot to offer the biggest and most significant attraction is undoubtedly karsten
fortress which dates back to the 17th century but that's just the cherry on top of this all around
picturesque destination while the local population is under 1 500 people the island's popular sailing
events have put it on the map both locally and internationally with the largest sailing community
don't worry though you don't need your sea legs to appreciate all this destination has to offer
maastrand also distinguishes itself with excellent seafood and some lovely nature trails because of
its relatively modest size masternodes can be appreciated in a single day or weekend making
it a perfect day trip or add on to a larger holiday number 7 uppsala located in the eastern
county with which it shares its name uppsala is the fourth largest city in sweden when it comes
to religious sites however it's second to none the city is home to the iconic uppsala cathedral
which is the largest of its kind in the country among other noteworthy attractions like the
gustavianum and uppsala castle while the history of the city itself is impressive the history of
the area actually dates all the way back to the 3rd century just a few miles north of the city is
old uppsala a settlement dating back to the 3rd century which was once a major place of trade
and worship not to mention the seat of bygone swedish kings today uppsala might not be the
starring attraction to your trip to sweden but it certainly has a lot to offer and located less
than 50 miles away from the nation's capital it makes for a must visit addition to the itinerary
number six stockholm archipelago this large collection of islands in the baltic sea is very
popular with locals conveniently located just a short distance east of stockholm proper this
beautiful natural space makes for a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city
in fact a high percentage of swedish people have deemed it the most beautiful destination in the
entire country and to think you can kick off your island hopping adventure simply by taking
a quick 10 minute ferry ride from the city with tens of thousands of islands in the archipelago
it's not a destination for completionists but it certainly offers a nice bit of variety
vaxholm boasts surprisingly ornate architecture while the world war one fortress on starofte is
a must-see for history buffs grinder is a paradise for sun seekers while ingmarsha is famous for its
hiking trails number five kung's lieden speaking of hiking outdoorsy travelers won't want to miss
their chance to explore the king's trail spanning an impressive 270 miles this iconic trail is the
country's most famous trek and likely appears on the bucket list of many serious hikers from
around the world the trail has something to offer end to end all the way from hermavin in the south
to arbisco in the north the highlight however is without a doubt the section of the king's trail
that passes through the vien del fielen nature reserve surrounded by scandinavian mountains
travelers are treated to swedish wilderness at its very finest depending on how much of the trail you
choose to tackle you'll be absolutely astounded by the variety of it all from the alpine lapland
area through small swedish villages and past beautiful lakes fun fact during the winter months
kung's leading doubles as a ski trail number four gothenburg the second largest city in all
of sweden gothenburg is rich in history culture and modern experiences when approaching the
coastal city either by water or land travelers are immediately struck by the colour palette this is
a city of red and green the latter comes from the sheer abundance of green space that the city has
protected and then there are the buildings red roofs and red brick buildings are bound giving
the entire place a very consistent aesthetic especially considering his age interspersed
throughout the city however are show-stopping modern structures like the opera house such is
the nature of gothenburg an extremely walkable city gothenburg is open-minded welcoming and an
all-round pleasure to explore number three gotland located off the east coast of sweden scotland
certainly rivals the stockholm archipelago for the country's prettiest destination the largest island
in the baltic sea gotland is relatively sparsely populated with only about 58 000 people spread
across its 1229 square miles of land be that as it may with evidence of human settlements dating back
8 000 years and more than 100 medieval churches to its name there's a hole to discover as you
navigate this beautiful destination travelers could easily spend an entire trip soaking up the
sun or exploring the countryside but you'd be remiss to skip veersby the island's population
center and only real city it's arguably the most impressive surviving medieval destination
in sweden and many would say all of scandinavia photographers are sure to be utterly charmed by
the cobblestone streets and quaint little shops add in all the areas prehistoric sites and you've
got a truly unforgettable trip number 2 swedish lapland rugged northern beauty isn't for everyone
but for those who don't mind the cold a trip to lapland is an absolute must once you move beyond
the arctic circle you'll be reminded of just how wild some parts of the world remain because of its
location near the pole swedish lapland experiences nearly 24 hours of sun or 24 hours of darkness
depending on the time of year so book your trip wisely the adventure opportunities here are many
and varied including dog sledding ice climbing sleigh rides yes with reindeer skiing snowmobiling
and more this is also one of the best places on earth to see the northern lights honestly this
is the sort of travel experience that you will genuinely remember for the rest of your life
of course for something extra special you'll want to stay in yuka harvey's iconic ice hotel
number one stockholm sweden is a beautiful and diverse country with much to offer from one end to
the other and while stockholm might be the default go-to destination for most travelers visiting the
scandinavian country for the first time there's a good reason for that the capital city is a mosaic
of architectural marvels new and old gamlastan the old town looks like something out of a fairy
tale and that goes double when the yolmachnad christmas market is happening then you've got the
historic sites like the royal palace and stockholm cathedral at the same time however this is a city
that has defined itself as a leader of modern design with such head-turning attractions as the
aola medica building and the stockholm waterfront the city is similarly on trend for all things
fashion and food but without ever coming across as pretentious or unfriendly stockholm's stellar
reputation is well earned do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip
