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.

Mora

Mora on the vast lake Siljan is best known for its cross-country ski race Vasaloppet, the largest of its type in the world. The story behind the race is the critical point of Swedish history.

But there is much more to Mora, including its beautiful location, its buildings, and its intimate links with the life of Sweden’s greatest artist, Anders Zorn.
