Sweden can truly be a foodie’s heaven. No serving of food can draw as much awe and admiration as the Swedish smörgåsbord. If you have ever faced the conundrum of not knowing what to have for a meal when all the options sound equally delicious, then the Smörgåsbord is just for you. It is literally a board filled with delicious hot and cold foods including salmon, köttbullar (meatballs), bread, and many other delicious things. Make sure you leave room for fika; which is a coffee and pastries you share with friends. Yes, in Sweden they have a name for this marriage made in culinary heaven.

Things to see

As you’re munching down on all of this delicious food, you will undoubtedly want to look at beautiful scenery and this is where Sweden truly shines. It is one of the cleanest countries in the world, peppered with mountains, valleys, and enough greenery that is perfect for a road trip if you have an international driver’s license Sweden, also it will make you want to get a cabin. If you do get a cabin, you might also be treated to the spectacle that is aurora borealis; a colourful display of plasma and atmosphere that can be quite mesmerising. If you prefer something more hipster, head to Södermalm for a spot of shopping and a drink in one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world.
