Sweden - Wink Travel Guide

As modern as its society is, Sweden is a country full of seemingly untouched nature and ever-present history.

First stop for many visitors is historic and compact Stockholm, full of heritage, home to the Vasa Museum and gateway to the Stockholm Archipelago.

There's the canals and cobblestoned streets of Gothenburg, with its famous botanical garden, or the modern architecture of Malmo.

For more history, head to the port town of Visby, a recognized Unesco World Heritage Site, or the medieval town of Ystad, famous through the Kurt Wallander novels that are set here and for Ales stenar, one of the ancient iron-age burial monuments in the country.

Wink Travel Guides introduce you to the best world travel destinations, in a clear and concise way, illustrated by photos.
