Soak in All Sweden Has to Offer

 For an amazing holiday trip focused on the beauty of God’s handiwork , world renown spa treatments, and to have the opportunity to be transported back to the days of the Vikings,  take a look at Sweden for your vacation .  Located in the extreme north of the European continent, Sweden’s storied history is the stuff that legends are made of. Summer, winter, spring, or fall there is something special in the ancient Viking motherland from museums, to Nordic skiing, to sightseeing the amazing natural wonders of this northern country to make any trip special.

Everyone has heard about the fjords in nearby Norway, don’t overlook Sweden’s Western Archipelago with its seascape of 8,000 islands, outcroppings, and the like. This is a fantastic place for water enthusiasts to explore and for tourists to enjoy. See it by ferry or explore by kayak or diving.

Of course, who can forget the amazing nighttime light displays in the skies provided by the northern lights.  To give yourself the best chance of acquiring a truly wonderful show, plan your itinerary to extend into the northern reaches of the country, although on any given night any part of the country might be in for a delightful show.  Likewise, how many other places in the world can offer days as long and brilliant as a Swedish summer?  It is an experience too good to be passed up .

The region of Smaland, in Sweden’s southeastern forests is home to some of the world’s most renown glass artisan’s and glass factories such as Kosta Boda.  This part of Sweden has developed such a reputation that it has come to be known as the “Kingdom of Crystal”.  The ability to watch as the artisans worked their art is simply astounding. 

Rich in culture, Sweden is not only rich because of it’s Viking heritage, but also for more modern traditions. Visit close to the holidays and watch the Jul festivities or the Santa Lucia celebration in which girls in traditional dress deliver a tray of coffee, rolls, biscuits, and sometimes a Swedish mulled wine known as glogg while dressed in white and wearing a crown of lit candles.

Of course, Stockholm itself is a sight to see itself that could occupy weeks or months to uncover all it has to offer.  Built on a series of fourteen islands, Stockholm is unique among national capitals.  See the Royal Palaces.  Watch the changing of the guard during the summer months.  Tour the city by boat.  There is so much to do and see in a vacation to Sweden.

Buy wedding favors, message in a bottle invitations for your special event, and even unique airplane themed luggage tags to help you keep track of your luggage on your trip to Sweden.
