Natural Wonders of Sweden: The 4 Most Beautiful Places to Visit
4 places in the atlas
Sweden stretches from the Baltic almost to the Arctic Ocean, and its nature changes with it. The far north is Lapland, a wilderness of mountains, lakes, and tundra where Abisko's clear skies frame the aurora. The long coast is fringed with archipelagos, including the High Coast that is still rebounding from the Ice Age, and the limestone island of Gotland with its sculpted sea stacks. Between them lie vast forests, thousands of lakes, and a culture with a deep right-to-roam relationship to the outdoors. Below are the 4 natural wonders of Sweden in the atlas — the most beautiful places to build a trip around, each with what makes it remarkable, when to go, and how to reach it. Best overall time: Summer (June–September) for hiking, islands, and the midnight sun; the dark winter months for the northern lights in Lapland.
