The home of IKEA, Volvo and Vikings, Sweden is a study in contrasts. Experience multi-cultural cities, stroll the beaches along the Swedish Riviera, hike through vast deep forests, venture out into untamed Arctic, and embrace the spirit of Sweden's ancestors, the mighty vikings. Delight can be found in both the summer's midnight sun or the winter's northern lights. Fresh seafood, lively festivals and pleasant outdoor recreation round out a visit to this Nordic gem.
