The most beautiful places in Sweden

Sweden is a country of rare beauty, even amid its starkest northern landscapes. Its cities and towns testify to 1000 years of urban life, but there are precious places offering glimpses into even older traditions of human settlement.

Karlskrona

Karlskrona is recognised by UNESCO for its beauty and historical value. The fully planned Baroque city succeeded Kalmar as Sweden’s naval centre and remains the base of its national fleet.

The city’s world-heritage listing covers the port and multiple buildings and the its churches are especially highly prized. Its archipelago site adds to the scenic experience.
