Vacation In Sweden

Last month my sister and her families visited Sweden. She had a great time there. This is my review about this beautiful country. Another Nordic country considered one of the best places to choose as travel destination. Belonging to the Scandinavian group with common culture, Sweden is proud to unravel its majestic close distance to the Arctic, beautiful metropolis and the rest of the area with low population density except in the capital.

The people basically enjoy a high standard of living since 1930 with all the luxury a modern world can extend to every advanced country of good economic standing. It became a part of the European Union in 1995 together with Finland and Austria after silently keeping neutral in a cold war with the unified nations. Sweden has temperate climate although its latitude location is in the North.The gulf adjacent to it played an important role in giving it a better climate with less harsher winters, though like most countries hit by the Arctic belt, the sun does not set in summers and it has periods endless winter night for a period of time.



Aurora Borealis of northern lights can be experienced in the Swedish skies every winter. Being called "land of the midnight sun" like Norway, this happens because of the periodical winter nights with no sunset in the northern part of this countries. Its boundary is separated from Norway by a mountain range running longitudinal along the peninsula.

Here are the travel options you can read if you choose to visit the fabulous places here:
