Not only boasting fascinating natural landscapes, Sweden is also a country with an excellent living environment, highly acclaimed for its education system, healthcare, and social welfare.

Sweden – The Land of the Midnight Sun

Sweden is situated in Northern Europe, covered by vast and lush forests, with over 1000 lakes scattered across the country, along with 24000 islands large and small. Sweden borders Norway to the West and Finland to the East. The northern part of the country is often referred to as the land of the midnight sun because during the summer months, the sun never sets here. Hence, this country is dubbed the “land of the midnight sun”.

Although a member of the European Union, Sweden still uses its own currency, the krona. Sweden is not only a paradise thanks to its magnificent nature but also because of its incredible welfare system. The Swedish passport is one of the most powerful passports in the world, allowing visa-free travel to 124 countries.

In the past, those who inhabited the land of Sweden are now known as Vikings. They were renowned for their shipbuilding and navigation skills. The Vikings were famous for their raids on coastal nations. Sweden also had a significant military empire in the 17th century. The country boasts a powerful army and navy that helped control much of the Northern European region.
