Europe

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!

As far as I am concerned Lapland is one of the rare places in Europe that is truly wild. It's as if time has stopped there and you can find fascinating natural landscapes disappearing into the distance, made up of forests, lakes, wild rivers, grassy plains and unexplored mountains. <a href="/sweden/">During my stay in Sweden,</a> I felt cut off from everything there, far from frenetic modern life and ever present technology, in a place where being close to nature is still necessary. Whether you want to see the northern lights in summer, meet reindeer, or walk hundreds of kilometres of well signposted paths, the place is a must if you love nature and want to get away from it all. As well as being a region that is shared between three Scandinavian countries, Sweden, Norway and Finland, Lapland also has its own indigenous population, the Sami, who have their own language.
