Summary:

The clean air, smelling of spruce and moss in the summer and of newly fallen snow in winter, is unforgettable in Sweden. Written by a native, this is the definitive guide to a country that is nearly 80% mountains, vast forests, lakes and wilderness. But this book covers all, from cities and villages to the Midnight Sun Coast, the islands to the Lappland area. Art, culture, folklore, shopping, walks, watersports and more. Town and regional maps
