Svealand

Svealand encompasses six provinces across central Sweden, stretching from the Baltic Sea to the Norwegian border with forests, lakes, and fertile plains.

The region originated as the homeland of the Svear people, forming the core territory from which the Swedish kingdom expanded during medieval times.

Each of the six provinces within Svealand maintains distinct traditions, contributing to Sweden's cultural diversity through local customs and celebrations.

The territory spans 91,098 square kilometers and contains Stockholm, making it a central hub for Swedish administration, commerce, and transportation networks.

Natural barriers of deep forests, including Tiveden, Tylöskog, and Kolmården, create physical boundaries between Svealand and the southern region of Götaland.
