2025 Sweden Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#folkactivities During my recent trip to Sweden, I had the chance to visit a traditional fair, and it was such a unique and delightful experience! 🇸🇪🎡 The fair was held in a charming small town near Uppsala, surrounded by beautiful countryside. The atmosphere was vibrant, with locals dressed in traditional Swedish clothing, stalls full of handmade crafts, and the smell of delicious food wafting through the air. There was no entrance fee, making it easy to wander in and out, enjoying the festivities at your own pace. One of the highlights for me was watching the folk dances. The dancers, in their colorful costumes, moved so gracefully, and the music played by the live folk band added a magical touch to the whole scene. 🎻 I also tried some classic Swedish foods like herring, freshly baked cinnamon buns, and, of course, a taste of their famous lingonberry jam. The fair was a feast for the senses—there were so many different flavors, sounds, and sights to take in. In addition to the food and music, there were plenty of games and activities for all ages. I tried my hand at the traditional ring toss and even attempted to carve a small wooden horse at one of the craft stalls. 🐴 The local artisans were so friendly and eager to share their skills and stories. After enjoying the fair, I took a short trip to Uppsala to explore the impressive Uppsala Cathedral and the charming streets of the old town. If you’re in Sweden, especially in the summer, attending a traditional fair is a must-do. It’s a perfect way to experience Swedish culture and connect with the local community. 🌟 #trip #swedishfair #folktraditions #culturalexperience #uppsala #traveladventures

I went to Stockholm, Sweden for the first time and it was so so cool~! Tourist attractions are nice, but if you have time, it would be great to stay in a country house deep in nature without tourists~~ The place I stayed was a regular Swedish home, so I'm careful, but the baby is so cute, so I'm uploading itㅠㅠ😍😍 (+I added pictures and reuploaded~!) #Unique accommodation #Overseas travel #Homestay #When you think of Sweden, it's IKEA #Fortunately, they fed me😆 #Dog and cat #Reuploaded because of you #Not going to play #Behind the scenes #Starlight

Gallerian is the most centrally located mall in Stockholm, being a mere 3 minute walk away from T-Centralen and Stockholm City Station. The mall's size is on the small side but still boasts 185 different stores and cafes. Gallerian is the perfect choice for shoppers who want a break from the outdoor retail district Drottninggatan, or who want to escape the cold temperatures in the winter months whilst still shopping. 🛍 #summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Introducing Stockholm Central Station, the station you arrive at when heading to Stockholm from Sweden's airport (Arlanda Airport) 🚝 I went there during Christmas time, so the station was decorated with illuminations and stalls like a Christmas market! It's a very large station that many people use, but it's designed to make good use of the space, so it doesn't feel crowded or cramped ♪ Central Station is located in a convenient location for traveling by train to the suburbs of Stockholm, as well as to the city. Within a 20-minute walk, there are Gamlasdan, Stockholm Palace, and Stockholm City Hall, making it easy to visit ✨ 🚉 Spot name: Stockholm Central Station 📍 Location: Centralplan 15, 111 20 Stockholm #Sweden #Stockholm #Nordic #European travel #0 yen travel February 2025

#getgoing2025 #sweden Spending a day in the Swedish forest is an experience you won’t forget. From the fresh air to the tranquility, it’s a natural escape that everyone should try. During my visit, I spent the day picking wild blueberries and fishing in the serene lakes, and it was pure magic. 🍃 The forest was filled with endless rows of wild blueberries, waiting to be plucked. There’s something so satisfying about picking your own fruit, and the sweet, tangy taste of these wild berries is beyond compare. After a peaceful morning picking blueberries, we made a delicious homemade blueberry jam, and the flavors were unbeatable. 🫐✨ Later, we cast our fishing lines into the calm lake. Surrounded by tall trees and the sounds of nature, fishing was a moment of peace and reflection. The whole day felt like a perfect balance of nature and adventure. Sweden’s forests are beautiful, peaceful, and full of opportunities for outdoor activities like berry picking and fishing. If you’ve never experienced it, I highly recommend it. You’ll not only get to enjoy fresh, wild blueberries but also connect with nature in a way that leaves you feeling refreshed and grounded. 🌲

The Infinity Hot Springs video I posted earlier has become popular! Now I will give you the guide of this fairy luxury hotel 🏨Hotel: Burgenstock Hotel & Resorts 📍Location: Lucerne, Switzerland This is the largest resort in Switzerland and a perfect five-star hotel. Whether it is service, facilities, environment or scenery, it is one of the best places I have ever stayed. The hotel is located on a mountain at 1,500 metres above sea level, overlooking Lake Lucerne. This was once Audrey. Hepburn's favorite resort hotel was also the place where she finally chose to get married! 💕 🌟Currently available hotels include: 1. Bürgenstock Hotel & Alpine Spa 2. Waldhotel & Spa We stayed at what used to be the Palace Hotel (no longer an option), but it was actually the first hotel. Staying here, you can use the infinity hot spring for free! If you stay at Waldhotel, you need to pay an additional CHF 100 per person to use the hot spring, and you need to walk a distance because the hot spring is located inside the first hotel. Room type: We booked a Lake View Deluxe Room with Balcony, which has two balconies from which you can directly enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Lucerne. Very beautiful and peaceful. The drinks in the minibar are free. When you finish drinking, you can ask the service staff to refill your favorite drinks at any time. Price: Our room is USD1,468 (or RMB10,540) per night

Follow After eating pressed duck for the second time, I feel that among all the cities in Spain I have visited, Seville is the most photogenic and delicious one… I didn’t expect that there are still orange trees all over the streets in winter. I can wear a sweater with a long skirt at noon. It’s really a blessing. It takes at least two days to travel in Seville comfortably and easily. Recommended attractions include: 1 Plaza de España (Pictures 1-4): In recent winters, the sun sets around 18:00. It is recommended to go here from 16:00 to 17:00 for the best photos. The sun is not too glaring and makes the buildings look golden. Anyone with good hands can take good photos. 2 Royal Palace of Seville (Pictures 5-7): I bought the ticket on the official website half a month in advance. The filming location of Game of Thrones is in a small room leading to the maze in the back courtyard. It feels like if you go to the Alcazar in Granada, you can choose to go here or not. 3 Seville Cathedral (Figure 5-8): Same-day online ticket purchase is not supported. We forgot to buy tickets in advance, so we bought a combined ticket at another small church near the cathedral: Iglesia Colegial del Divino Salvador, so we didn't have to queue up at the cathedral to buy tickets. The total fee for students is 7 Euros, including climbing the tower. Food recommendations: I had two super delicious brunches in two days (Figure 12): Say something...6

#europetrip Sweden’s National Day, celebrated annually on June 6, honors the country’s history and unity. The date marks two significant events: Gustav Vasa’s election as king in 1523, which laid the foundation for modern Sweden, and the adoption of a new constitution in 1809. Traditionally, it’s a day for cultural festivities, flag-raising ceremonies, and acknowledging Swedish citizenship. Over time, it has become a public holiday to celebrate national pride and heritage. Swedes often enjoy parades, music, and gatherings, with the royal family participating in public events. It’s a moment to reflect on Sweden’s journey and shared values. Gratulera Sverige idag!
