Sweden unites cutting-edge technology with concern for the natural environment. We pride ourselves on being among the forerunners of today’s technology. Sweden is the home of Bluetooth and the ATM, as well as enjoying one of the highest standards of living in Europe.
This country is the fifth-largest in Europe (after Russia, Ukraine, France and Spain) in terms of land area, with vast tracts of unspoilt countryside and nature to explore. Seasonal changes are dramatic: in the course of a year, you can enjoy the warmth of a Mediterranean summer as well as snowy winter landscapes beneath beautiful blue skies. In winter a range of winter sports are on offer. You can learn to ski, snowboard and even drive a snowmobile. Winter is also a time when, in the north of Sweden, you can witness the spectacular Northern Lights.
Sweden’s forests offer many distinctively Scandinavian natural resources, such as cloudberries and chanterelles, which can be picked freely.
