From deep-blue enclaves to killer fashion districts, Sweden is the perfect Nordic dream.

Germanic peoples have inhabited Sweden since prehistoric times, emerging into history as the Geats (Swedish Götar) and Swedes (Svear) and constituting the sea peoples known as the Norsemen. As a tourist, you’re more likely to encounter husky rides, the northern lights, the midnight sun, crystal-clear lakes, snow-covered forests, brightly painted wooden horses, snus (chewing tobacco) and some of the planet’s best free camping. Who needs Ikea anyway?

Being a prehistoric country and one of the oldest settlements of humans in history, Sweden has a long rich heritage which they are proud of. With alcohol being state-owned and not readily available you will probably need to stock up at the airport. The best word we can use to describe Sweden is Lagom (pronounced lar-gohm), a Swedish word meaning just the right amount.
