We are ready to take you over the capital city of one of the most exciting countries in Europe and Scandinavia. Welcome to Sweden!
The name Sweden was loaned from Dutch in the 17th century to refer to Sweden as a prosperous great power. Before Sweden’s imperial expansion, Early Modern English used Swedeland.
By 2017 the total resident population of Sweden was over 10 million inhabitants. The population density is 20.6 people per km² (53.3 per square mile) and it is substantially higher in the south than in the north. About 85% of the population live in urban areas.
The capital city Stockholm has a municipal population of about 900,000 and approximately 2 million in the metropolitan area. Gothenburg and Malmö are the second and third cities.
What can you expect in Sweden:
– Stockholm, Sweden’s largest city, is built on 14 islands and connected by 57 bridges, giving the city its nickname “Venice of the north”.
– Home of the Nobel Prize and The first European Green Capital (2010).
– ABBA Museum & Wasa Ship Museum and the Fotografiska building make perfect venues for Gala Dinners.
– Excellent new Nordic Cuisine and cruises in the archipelago.
– Gothenburg, once the centre of the Swedish ship-building industry, Gothenburg mixes historical marine features with pulsating city life and the home of Volvo.
– Gothenburg is home to the largest theme park in Scandinavia and an enviable international reputation for innovative cuisine boasting several Michelin starred restaurants which are not to be missed.
– There is no place like Swedish Lapland – the Arctic Circle cities of Luleå and Kiruna are the major outposts of civilization with Ice hotel, dog sledge and frozen waterfall climbing.
– Ice driving or ice swimming while sampling local delicacies.
