Stockholm is built across fourteen islands and surrounded by an archipelago of some 30,000 more, perfect for a summer boat trip or a night in a waterside cabin.
In Swedish Lapland, the Icehotel is rebuilt every winter, and Abisko is one of the best places to see the northern lights. In the south, Skåne has castles, beaches and a gentle pace.
Design, food and nature all come together beautifully here.
