Sweden is heavily forested, with about 69% of the land covered by woodlands. The dense boreal forests are primarily found in the northern regions and are home to a variety of wildlife, including moose and bears. The country is dotted with thousands of lakes, the largest being Vänern and Vättern. These lakes offer beautiful scenery and opportunities for fishing, boating, and swimming. The Stockholm Archipelago consists of approximately 30,000 islands, rocks, and islets. These islands vary in size and character, offering picturesque views, charming villages, and outdoor activities.

The Scandinavian Mountains run along the western edge of Sweden, featuring dramatic peaks and valleys. This region is particularly popular for hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter. Kebnekaise is the highest peak in Sweden. In the far north, Swedish Lapland features dramatic arctic landscapes, including tundras, snow-covered mountains, and the unique Sami culture. This region is also known for the Northern Lights in winter and the Midnight Sun in summer. The country’s coastline along the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia provides beautiful shores, cliffs, and beaches, with picturesque coastal towns. The West Coast, in particular, is famous for its charming fishing villages and rocky landscapes.
