The most beautiful cities 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.

Landscapes & outdoors

Allemansrätten is a convention of free and universal access to Swedish nature. This includes walking (with respect) through fields and forests and picking wild berries and mushrooms (but not truffles). These foods can be poisonous. There are broad camping and swimming rights in open areas.

The Swedish tourism association Svenska Turistföreningen has a website including home-page links covering leisure topics and activities such as hiking and winter sports.
