Country guide
Sweden
Cosy Scandinavian cities and long, lantern-lit winter nights.
Sweden has become a bit of a tradition for us, we keep finding ourselves back in Scandinavia around Christmas and New Year, drawn in by the festive atmosphere, the cosy winter feel and flights that are surprisingly kind on the wallet.
Highlights
- Colourful harbourfront strolls in Gothenburg
- Cinnamon buns in the old wooden quarter of Haga
- Liseberg amusement park under Christmas lights
- Cosy Scandi restaurants and endless coffee stops
A few honest tips
- ✦December flights to Gothenburg are often surprisingly cheap, worth watching.
- ✦It gets dark early in winter (around 3:30pm), plan outdoor sights for the morning.
