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.

Tanum

Nowhere in the world is there a sight like the rock carvings dotted through the parish of Tanum, not far from Sweden’s Norwegian border. These hällristningar come mostly from the Bronze Age and are in several parts of Sweden, but the Tanum carvings, with their ritual significance and siting near ancient waterways, are the most impressive and have earned UNESCO world-heritage listing.
