SWEDENBeautiful countryside, calmness, pleasant blond Swedes, world – famous Volvo, English – spoken as well as Swedish…these are just some of the typical features of the magnificient Scandinavian country.
Sweden is a very unusual and special place.Visitors from the rest of the world, used to a hectic way o life, are surprised by Swedish calmness and coldness. But the atmosphere is very human and friendly here.
Sweden lies in the centre of Scandinavia and it has the largest population among the Nordic countries.
From the natural point of view, Sweden is a country full of contrast. From European green, the natural conditions change rapidly to the iced land.
The most dominant mountains are the Scandinavian Mountains.
Thanks to these monumental rocks, the main part of Sweden has
a continental climate.
The historical heart of the land is the central
part called Svealand with the metropolis Stockholm. Beauty on the water – this is how Swedes call their capital Stockholm. The city is built on 14 islands. Thousands of sailing boats ,fishermen in the centre and salty smell…the atmosphere is unique. The historical heart of the city called Gamala Stan (the Old Town). The name Stockholm (translated to Swedish means in between bridges). The city was founded in the middle of the 13th century. Thanks to its strategic position, Stockholm became soon an important trade centre. Stockholm was an overcrowded city and fires were a common danger for the orginal wooden architecture. The burnt houses were rebuilt in similar style. Stockholm gained the status of the capital in 1634.Today Stockholm is a modern European metropolis. A dynamic, pulsating city. We could say that Stockholm is a cosmopolitan city, since everyone speaks excellent English here. From the little children through all the generations – everyone is very open to answer in English.
The Stockholmers are proud of their beautiful city with thousands of cultural events and magnificient places for visiting.

The most pleasant time to visit Stockholm is spring and summer when temperatures are to 20 degrees.The Old Town – Gamala Stan is the historical heart of the city where the medieval atmosphere is still alive.
