The Best Cities In Sweden

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

The best cities in Sweden has three major cities – Stockholm, Malmo and Gothenburg. It also has many other cities across the country that can be divided into three regions – Central, Southern and Northern Sweden. Sweden has a rich culture and history dating back many thousands of years to the time of the Vikings. It also has influences from medieval, Renaissance and early modern periods, as well as Russian, German, Norwegian and Danish influences. In modern times Sweden is one of the most free and developed of Europe’s countries and is home to many millions of immigrants and refugees, who have all sought to make a new life in Sweden.

Stockholm is an international port city located in the fjords of Sweden. It has amazing shopping, fabulous food, world class hotels and a world famous club and music scene as well as a strong cultural life. Stockholm is about 700 years old and covers 14 islands on the Baltic Sea. You can see Stockholm by foot, bus, car, bike, train or boat. Stockholm has many beautiful palaces and castles. The royal family live at the famous Drottingholm Castle. Just recently, Sweden’s much loved Crown Princess Victoria was finally married to Daniel Westling, a Prince from another part of Sweden.

Gothenburg is Sweden’s second largest city. At one point it used to be an industrial seaport, but nowadays it is mainly a contemporary culture and international sports locale. An Opera House was built in 1994 and many of its museums were reimagined. Gothenburg is also world famous for its creative use of shellfish and north Atlantic fish in its meals. There are many restaurants that serve only the best Swedish food throughout Gothenburg. You can travel around Gothenburg by boat, ferry, car, bike or on foot.

Malmo is considered Sweden’s gateway to continental Europe. It is a southern port city and is directly connected by ferry and airlines to the rest of Europe, especially Denmark, northern Germany, Norway, Poland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Malmo is an interesting city because although it is considered a metropolis, it feels like its very small and cozy. Malmo is also the city in Sweden where all the immigration has seemed to have focused and for this reason it is the most multicultural of all Swedish cities, with over 164 nations and 100 languages spoken. This is showcased in the sheer variety of restaurants, cafes, bars and cultural events that the city holds every year.

The other regions like Northern Sweden is a rugged landscape of 4,000 m high towering peaks, pine forests, polar bears, reindeer, glaciers and pristine shimmering lakes. The people are mostly dotted along the coastline in settlements. Most of this land is a national park that has many touristic opportunities for those who will brave the cold. Central sweden is the heartland of Sweden and is flourishing from the influence of Stockholm and the surrounding cities. This part of Sweden is famous for its copper mines, Dalecarlian horses and Carl Larsson, the famous painter. Southern Sweden is where most of the population of Sweden lives and it is mostly farmland, forest and a great holiday place with temperate climes.
