Attractive Tourist Places In Sweden 2

Tourist attractions in Sweden are numerous but, just like the Swedish people, never obtrusive. Don’t expect a country full of spectacular amusement parks or ancient churches. The country’s main attraction is its landscape. But fans of beautiful scenery are sure to have an unforgettable vacation here. 

I made a top-10 of tourist attractions in Sweden. Here are the second five – in alphabetical order:


Bohuslän
Bohuslän is the area at the west-coast of Sweden, roughly located between Gothenburg and the Norwegian border. It is characterized by rocky fragmented islands and small fishing communities. Awesome scenery, and one of the best tourist attractions in Sweden according to the Swedes. Well, they should know.


Göta Canal
One of the most popular attractions in Sweden. Make a cruise from Gothenburg to Stockholm with an old ship, crossing one river, three canals, eight lakes, passing 66 locks and traveling on two seas. The Göta Canal is one of the most pleasant waterways in Sweden and has attracted thousands of people searching relaxation and pleasure. You can choose between 2-, 4- and 6-day cruises. You can order a free brochure for the Göta Canal cruise of your choice from this list. 


Inlandsbanan
Or the Inland Railway. Great trip for fans of train journeys, across the Arctic circle. Inlandsbanan runs from Kristinehamn at the side of lake Vänern to the wilderness near Gällivare, Lapland. Distance: around 1300 km, but note that a bus has replaced the train on parts of the most southern track. Mora-Gällivare takes two days with forests, hills, wild rivers and sometimes a village. You can stop there, have lunch and get back on the train. Or spend the night - it’s all up to you. Inlandsbanan runs from June 13 until September 11.



Kungsleden
The most famous hiking trail of Sweden, 500 km long and leading from Abisko (in the north) to Hemavan (south). Well-marked and popular, with cabins along the trail that can be busy in the holiday season. You’ll pass Kebnekaise, Sweden’s highest mountain (2,078 m) and see some of Europe’s most beautiful nature with mountains, forests, rivers, lakes, valleys.

Storsjön
Storsjön (the Great Lake in Swedish) is the Nordic Loch Ness. Locals believe there lives a monster in its dark water – and typically Swedish, the monster is even protected by law! The area around Storsjön – 550 km northwest of Stockholm – has a lot to offer too. Östersund is a likable town and has a Skansen-like open-air museum called Jamtli. From there it’s not far to the mountain regions of Jämtland. Great for hiking in summer, perfect for skiing in winter. Not many foreigners here, but still one of the best tourist attractions in Sweden.
