Sweden
A country of stark contrasts, Sweden truly has something for everyone. Sverige [ˈsværjÉ›], as it is called in Swedish, is a varied and beautiful country. It boasts pristine mountains, forests and national parks and the Northern Lights in the North, as well as rich culture and buzzing modern urban life in the cities of the South. Famous for their friendliness and love of travel, Swedes will be equally excited to learn about your culture as they will be to share theirs with you.
