Read about Sweden tourism and Sweden vacation.
The country has 25 provinces. Each of them has its own special character, culture and traditions.
The country's landscape is highly varied, which is not surprising, given its 2,000 km (1,240 miles)
length from north to south. Skåne in the south is flat and fertile, Småland is a region of deep forests,
and Bohuslän in the west has a rocky coastline. In the east Södermanland and Uppland share a unique archipelago,
while further north are the region of Dalarna with its delightful Lake Siljan, the gentle mountains of
Jämtland and the high peaks of Lapland. Sweden's highest mountain is Kebnekaise, 2,117 metres (6,950 ft)
above sea level. More about tourism and vacation in Sweden
