Sweden is famous for its design, and with good reason. On a visit here you’ll be confronted with cosy lighting, stylish interiors, picture-perfect streets and impeccably dressed locals at every turn. Swedish design is all about simplicity and elegance, and your holiday here will be too.
Sweden’s rugged wildness means its ripe for adventure, but also perfect to escape to for some relaxation and pampering. Sweden is a vast country, with lots of sparsely populated areas of untouched natural beauty perfect for getting away from the everyday.
Of course, you could spend time exploring the streets of chic Stockholm or stylish Gothenburg, but the great outdoors is really where holidays to Sweden shine. The northern part of the country is one of the best places in Europe for a winter break, thanks to fantastic snow fall, mystical forests of dense pine, cosy luxury cabins and towering mountains perfect for adding to your Instagram feed.
Spend nights trying to spot the aurora borealis, after days spent forest skiing, horse riding, snowmobiling or in back-to-back treatments at a high-end spa. Whether you’re staying in a hotel made of ice or sleeping suspended between the treetops of a secluded forest, we guarantee your Sweden holiday will be unforgettable.
