As a tourist, it can be tough to find out about the hidden gems and places to visit that aren’t the most famous ones, but luckily you’ve found yourself a fellow Swede here. Here I have listed down the top 10 places to visit in Sweden.

Lapland

If you like nature, wildlife, and snow, then Lapland is one of the best places to visit in Sweden, especially during winter as you will most likely be able to experience the northern lights as well.

Visby, Gotland

Fancy a medieval experience? Then head to Gotland where the medieval city and city wall of Visby is still standing. If you’re relly into the medieval heritage and culture, you should visit Visby during the medieval week. Here you can dress up as a knight, go to a traditional market and see tournaments and how people used to live during that period.

Gothenburg

Sweden’s second largest city is known as the most charming city in Europe. The night life is amazing, and the surrounding area is filled with beautiful nature, and the inner city is filled with shopping, cafés, and friendly locals. It is definitely one of the best places to visit in Sweden.

Ice Hotel, Jukkasjärvi

Have you ever slept in a room made up of ice? Probably not, but in Jukkasjärvi you can experience this unique Ice Hotel where everything is made of Ice.

Österlen

The place where many rich Stockholmians are going in the summer time, and no wonder why. Österlen is a tranquil place in the region of Skåne with beautiful beaches and a lovely countryside.

Stockholm

The Capital is obviously one of the best places to visit in Sweden. It’s sprawling of life, especially during summer, even though many Stockholmians are leaving the capital from June to August. Outdoor cafés and bars are open as soon as the sun shows itself in spring/summer.

Jokkmokk

Want an authentic Swedish experience? Visit Jokkmokk and meet the Sami people, one of the indigenous folks here. The Sami People have an interesting and beautiful culture.

Birka

Heard about Vikings? Sure, you have! And in Birka, outside of Stockholm, you can relive the life as a Viking. How to get here? By a Viking boat of course! Birka was a major trading place in Sweden during the Viking era.

Sigtuna

Renowned as the first city of Sweden, Sigtuna is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Sweden. It lies just about 45 minutes outside of Stockholm, so it’s easy to get here as well on a day trip from Stockholm.
