Top Attractions in Sweden

Sweden Essentials

Sweden’s landmarks span millennia, from the Bronze Age petroglyphs of Tanum to the contemporary photography at Stockholm’s Fotografiska. Explore the maritime history of the 17th-century Vasa warship and the medieval fortifications of Visby and Kalmar Castle. Nature enthusiasts can visit Lake Vänern, the largest in the European Union, or the mountainous Laponian Area. Cultural highlights include the open-air Skansen museum, the wooden Kiruna Church designed like a Sami hut, and the Iron Age reconstructions at Eketorp Fortress.
