Sweden is famed for its sea and cityscapes, and rightfully so – lakes, forests, mountains, and thousands of coastal islands bring this impressive country together. With a rich royal history and abundance of culture (where even the metro stations are decorated as modern art murals), its capital city of Stockholm is home to palaces, parks, and museums that beg to be visited and explored. And of course, you can’t forget the ABBA museum.
A magical Nordic destination, Sweden casts its spell with a bounty of natural wonders and cultural riches. From the frozen wilderness of Swedish Lapland in the north to the glittering archipelagos of the southerly Baltic Sea, this country unveils an ever-changing tapestry of landscapes. For outdoor enthusiasts, Sweden is an absolute paradise – a land of vast boreal forests, meandering rivers, and thousands of inland lakes defining its rural idyll. Hike along trails dotted with Sami villages, camp under the ethereal midnight sun, or take an exhilarating dog-sledding excursion through snowy wonderlands.
More about Sweden
Sweden’s magic extends far beyond its physical splendor into vibrant cityscapes and living traditions. Experience the dynamic arts and design scene thriving in style capitals like Stockholm, where cutting-edge architecture, galleries, and haute cuisine coexist with cobblestoned historic quarters. Or soak up laidback maritime bliss in Gothenburg and coastal havens like Mölle.
Throughout this progressive Scandinavian nation, the unique local cultures and customs beckon to be explored and appreciated. Discover the indigenous heritage of the Sami people through immersive workshops and festivals celebrating reindeer herding, handicrafts, and folk music. Delight in iconic Swedish traditions like the summer celebration of Midsommar. Indulge in a beloved fika coffee break complete with decadent baked treats. From pristine wilderness to sophisticated urban delights, every experience in Sweden leaves a magical imprint.

Sweden Summer Tour: Archipelago, Gotland & Coast

This eight-day route runs from Stockholm, a city spread across fourteen islands, out to the archipelago, then south to medieval Gotland and the artists' coast of Österlen. You start in the capital, with its waterfront restaurants and the cobbled lanes of Gamla Stan, then board a private boat into the Stockholm Archipelago: 30,000 islands of pine, granite and swimming coves.

Northern Lights Sweden: Luxury Abisko & Icehotel Tour
Tailor-made HolidayThis is winter in the Swedish far north, where daylight lasts only a few hours and the dark stretches long enough to make the aurora the main event. The week opens in Stockholm, with its museums, design shops and Michelin tables, then flies you north into Lapland, well above the Arctic Circle, to Kiruna and Abisko. Abisko is one of the most reliable places on earth to see the Northern Lights.

Ultimate Luxury: Scandinavia
Tailor-made HolidayFew regions let you sample three entirely different versions of luxury in a single trip, Stockholm's quiet restraint, Copenhagen's playful grandeur, and Oslo's old-world formality, each only a short flight from the last. Stockholm's restraint is built on natural materials and a genuinely private, homely feel rather than a grand lobby.

Arctic Sweden Luxury Tour: Treehotel, Lapland & Stockholm
Tailor-made HolidaySwedish Lapland in winter is one of the most visually extraordinary environments on earth. The light operates differently here: long blue twilights, skies that shift from pale gold to deep violet in the space of an hour, and on clear nights the aurora borealis moving silently overhead. The cold is real, the landscapes are vast, and the experiences available in this part of the world exist nowhere else.

Is Sweden LGBTQ+ friendly?
In Sweden, same-sex relationships are legal, same-sex marriage is legal and discrimination against LGBTQ+ people is prohibited. Equaldex gives Sweden an Equality Index of 75 out of 100.
Source: Equaldex, checked 5 October 2026.
Sweden is one of the most welcoming countries in the world for LGBTQ+ travelers. Same-sex relations were decriminalized in 1944, same-sex couples have been able to marry since 2009, and protections against discrimination are comprehensive.
Stockholm has a relaxed, well-integrated scene, with Södermalm its most queer-friendly district, and Stockholm Pride each summer is one of the biggest in Scandinavia. Gothenburg and Malmö have welcoming scenes of their own.
The welcome is just as easy beyond the cities, in the Stockholm archipelago, on the west coast and in Swedish Lapland. We choose hotels and lodges where same-sex couples are welcomed without comment, from a design hotel in the capital to an Arctic cabin.

Santorini Island Guide
Santorini is the most romantic of the Cyclades islands. Located in the south Aegean Sea 120 miles from the Greek mainland, it’s one of the two locations in Europe to have a desert climate. The other is Anafi, also a Greek island. Santorini is instantly recognisable. Its blue domes and caldera sunsets can be seen in the background of so many posts by Instagram “influencers.” It’s a place to be seen and be photographed in.
