| Rough Guide to Sweden (Rough Guide. Sweden) |
| The mere mention of Sweden conjures up resonant images: snow-capped peaks, reindeer wandering in deep green forests and the 24-hour daylight of the midnight sun. But beyond the household names of ABBA, IKEA and Volvo, Sweden is relatively unknown. The largest of the Scandinavian countries, with an area twice that of Britain (and roughly that of California), but a population of barely nine million, Sweden is still one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. Its cities are safe, carefree places where the cheap public transport runs on time and life is relaxed. Sweden’s countryside boasts pine and birch forest as far as the eye can see, crystal-clear lakes perfect for a summer afternoon dip, not to mention possibly the purest air you’ll ever breathe, and the country’s south and west coasts feature some of the most exquisite beaches in Europe. |
