Welcome to Sweden
This is a land where spring and autumn are short, winter and summer are distinct. In summer, you can see the midnight sun and the magical and charming northern lights. Winter is a snowy scene, a paradise for skating and skiing. The dense woods in the north are as deep as the ocean, and the midnight sun and the wonderful northern lights are fascinating. The lush flowers in the south are as dazzling as pictures, and the green grasslands and endless lakes and mountains are refreshing. In the summer, driving in the quiet and peaceful rural countryside, the typical natural scenery of Northland will surely make you linger.
