Sweden!

Sweden is the largest of the Scandinavian countries and the fifth largest country in Europe but benefits from a fairly low population density which makes it seem like the perfect place to just get away from it all.The first thing that most people tend to notice is the astounding natural landscapes and the eternal summer days when the sun never sets in the North of the country.

Sweden is home to the original Ice Hotel. It is situated on the shores of the Torne River, in the old village of Jukkasjärvi in Swedish Lapland. Sweden's Ice Hotel is built from scratch every year. A new design, new suites, a brand new reception ,everything is new. The hotel sleeps over 100 guests, and every bedroom is unique. The hotel covers over 30,000 square feet and includes a Ice Chapel, the hotel itself, an ice art exhibition hall, a cinema and last but not least, the world famous ‘Absolute Ice Bar’.

From early evening to midnight, you can view the awesome phenomenon of the northern lights in most clear nights in the northern part of Sweden called Lapland or Norrbotten. Mystery and wonder shroud the northern lights, for they do not conform to a pattern nor perform on demand. They appear in many forms. They can be faint or elongated and bright. They can be pink, white, blue or most commonly green.
Sweden is not all about natural scenery, lakes and wildlife . The Stockholm area alone has 10 royal castles and many world class museums. Two other major cities in Sweden are Gothenburg and Malmo. Both cities have beautiful tree-lined streets, restaurants serving Swedish food, museums, shopping avenues, nightclubs and much more.
