Gothenburg (Göteborg)
Many travelers feel that Göteborg is both easier
to tour and provides better exposure to the Swedes than
Stockholm. Be sure to visit the Liseberg Amusement Park,
the Röhsska Museum, the Haga/Linnéstanden
area for shopping, and, if you have time, take a tour
of the Volvo car assembly plant. Consider using Göteborg
as a base for exploration of the coastal towns to the
north and the Varbergs Fortress, forty miles to the south. |

Crystal Country

famous crystal production area of Sweden. If you like
crystal, this area is a must see as there are fourteen
producers of high quality crystal in this area, including
Orrefors and Kosta Bada. |

Southeastern Coast
The Southeastern section of the coast of Sweden features
beautiful seascapes, interesting islands, and a good bit
of history. There are several historic towns to see in
the area and you might consider Kalmar as a base for your
trip.

Uppsala
Regarded as a center of the Swedish culture and history,
the city has played a crucial role in the development
of Sweden. At the center of the Old Town visit the Domkyrkan
(Cathedral) and the Castle. Uppsala is less than an hour
by train from Stockholm.
