If we were to mention ABBA, Björn Borg, Greta Garbo or Santa Claus, what would it conjure up for you? No need to contemplate for long, it’s Sweden, of course! A magical land on the Baltic Sea, as cold as it is unpopulated. Because that’s what Sweden is: a land where there are more pine trees than people, a country undiscovered by tourists and unspoiled by the madness of men. Between stretches of water,&nbsp;sleigh dogs, herds of reindeer, the aurora borealis and royal castles, Sweden offers a dazzling spectacle of beauty and nature, particularly in Lapland. That’s one side. On its other side, you will find urban Sweden, modern and busy, the forerunner of design and the grande dame of music. You will visit the lively districts of the Stockholm archipelago and its 24,000 isles and islands. You’ll be carried away by a very special atmosphere, unique to the north, and perhaps you’ll even be taken for a Viking on the island of Björkö!

Gothenburg is a smaller city with a rather exceptional quality of life: young, dynamic, relaxed and trendy, the city seduced me in many ways, starting with its charming city centre. Turned towards the sea, the port of Gothenburg unveils a majestic centre where buildings, mainly from the 18th century, compete with each other for grandeur. The numerous parks in the city add to the character of the place, whilst its countless art museums (mainly contemporary), show that Gothenburg is a city resolutely turned towards modernity. In fact, the city is perhaps the epicentre of youth and trendy culture with an incalculable number of cafés, bars and restaurant (including numerous starred spots). The strong student population gives a unique energy to the city whose rivalry with Stockholm is part of its blood, whilst the numerous industries and tertiary activities guarantee a high quality of life. <a href="/sweden/">An unmissable stop for a trip to Sweden</a>.
