What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

If you’d like to visit during the sunny season, see the midnight sun and have lots of hours to sightsee, hike, relax, and bike, visit during May through September.

If you’d like to enjoy winter activities such as nordic skiing, seeing the Northern Lights or watching the snowfall, plan on visiting between November and March.

In particular, Sweden is an excellent destination for active travelers who want to engage in biking, hiking, skiing and other activities. Someone who enjoys a less crowded experience with lots of access to nature and the outdoors will also enjoy a trip to Sweden.

Why should you travel to Sweden?

Sweden is a bit off the beaten track as a tourist destination, so those travelers seeking to get away from the crowds, spend some time outdoors, and learn about this unique Nordic country will love spending time touring Sweden.

Sweden travel packing list

Along with the usual necessities when packing for a trip, a trip to Sweden wouldn’t be complete without including:

1) Hiking Books

2) Outdoor gear depending on the season (you could also rent there)

3) Layers (the weather can change and it’s good to be prepared)

4) A rain jacket

5) A swimsuit (for the summer months)

6) A great book (for relaxing after an action-packed day)

What is the weather like in Sweden?

Many people think of long winters when they think of Sweden. While this is true, the climate is milder than one would expect due to Sweden's proximity to the Gulf Stream.

The further north that you go, the more cold the climate. In general, the country has some humidity from its closeness to the ocean.

The summer can be quite pleasant with many sunny days. As with any trip, research the weather for your timeline to pack accordingly.
