Choose your holiday home in Sweden in the region of your choice
Sweden is divided into 21 provinces, but is often roughly divided into 3 parts: Norrland (northern Sweden), Svealand (central Sweden) and Götaland (southern Sweden). Rugged Norrland is highly suitable for active (winter) sports lovers. At the furthermost point is the beautiful Swedish Lapland, where the green light of the polar nights shines in the winter. You're sure to find numerous lakes, vast forests and deep woods in the middle of Sweden: Svealand, where a visit to the beautiful capital Stockholm is a must. If you'd prefer to stay in a holiday home in Götaland, the southern part of Sweden, you'll enjoy a mild climate and beautiful cities, such as Gothenburg and Malmö.
Discover the world of children's books from your holiday home in Sweden
Sweden is also the land of the ferocious Vikings, the adventurous Pippi Longstocking and the geese of Nils Holgersson. In the theme parks, they come to life and provide a day full of adventure. Most large cities have a water park and there are also plenty of zoos. There's even a zoo in the city of Stockholm. A nice change of scene for the kids during a day in the city.
Mild summers and white winters in Sweden
Summers are generally mild, with little precipitation. The winters are often harsh and the thick layers of snow make it possible to go skiing and cross-country skiing. Every season in 2019 has its charms and opportunities, and the Swedes think so too. Every change of season has its own celebration, with Midsommar (around 21 June), the beginning of the summer, being the best-known seasonal festival.
Winter sports in Sweden
You can also go to Sweden for your winter sports holiday. Sweden offers many opportunities for skiers, snowboarders and cross-country skiers. Northern and central Sweden are full of ski resorts, here you'll find several larger ski resorts, such as Åre (the largest ski area in Scandinavia), Idre and Sälen, but also small, cosy ski areas. In addition to skiing and cross-country skiing, there are plenty of other things to do in the ski areas of central Sweden. How about a snowmobile safari, a dogsled ride through the beautiful white landscape, ice fishing, ice climbing, ice skating, or the Ski Tunnel? There are snow parks and fun parks for snowboarders, and a variety of fun activities have been organised for little ones. And afterwards, you can unwind in the warm sauna. So rent a cosy winter sports chalet in Sweden in the winter, and get to know another winter sports destination!
Sailing, driving or flying to your holiday home in Sweden?
There are several easy ways to get to Sweden. The fastest way is by plane, of course.

If you're travelling from Germany, you can take the night boat to Gothenburg from the port of Kiel in about 13 hours. The car can then be carried in the hold, which is great if you want a driving holiday in Sweden.No sea legs? The toll bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö allows you to drive the entire route.
