Sweden

The Swedish landscape extends from the Arctic Circle with mountains and forests to the Baltic Sea coast with thousands of islands and archipelagos.

The Swedish kingdom emerged in the 12th century, becoming a significant European power during the 17th century through territorial expansion across the Baltic region.

The Nobel Prizes ceremonies take place annually in Stockholm, recognizing international achievements in sciences, literature, economics, and peace since 1901.

Sweden operates an extensive public transportation network, including trains, buses, and ferries, connecting major cities and remote regions throughout the country.

The Swedish Freedom to Roam principle grants everyone access to public and private land for recreation, allowing camping and foraging across the nation.
