The summer holidays are a great time to go to Sweden. The weather is good, the country is beautiful, and there are a lot of places to visit and things to do. But when you are planning a trip, there are several things that you need to consider before you start. 

The summertime is a glorious period in Sweden. The warmth, sun, and daylight hours make a delightful summer experience perfect for everyone from families to wanderlust alike. For example, you can travel from the town of Kiruna, which rests in northern Lapland, all the way to Gothenberg, which resides in southern Sweden on the west coast, which is over an hour's flight apart! But, wondering how long summer lasts? Or what to pack? Don't worry: we've got answers to these and other questions when you're packing for the Swedish summer! 

This blog will look at how to choose a destination, get to that destination, and what to do once you arrive. But before you can travel to Sweden, you need to get a Sweden visa from Dubai.

Forever Tourism is one of the top travel agencies in Dubai that offers exceptional advice on how to go about traveling abroad successfully and safely, regardless of where your final destination may be.

·    CELEBRATE THE SUMMER SOLSTICE

Midsommar is a festival that celebrates the pagan summer holiday of the Nordic culture. The word literally means "the event in which crops are blessed." It usually falls on the Saturday between May and June, but this varies between different regions, often because of weather conditions or other reasons. Nowadays, midsummer usually refers to Midsummer's Eve, celebrated on 23 June, even though initially this referred only to St John's Eve.

  • GO WILD SWIMMING

Swimming is an infinitely pleasurable experience in Sweden during their summers. You’re never swimming alone on a lake as you could be near more than 90,000 lakes filled with beaches for swimming. In fact, there are over 3200 kilometers (2000 miles) of coastline too. Many of Sweden's lakes feature enchanting forests, which only enhance the feeling of peace and serenity, or you can swim from a jetty or even cliffs into some lakes! You won't have to go far to find some water to swim in while visiting Stockholm since they also have many islands where you can swim wild.

  • ENJOY OUTDOOR CAFÉ CULTURE IN SWEDEN

Sunny days like these invite you to wander through Swedish cities, holding hands with your beloved. You can sashay comfortably along the sidewalks of many quaint towns, lakeside villages, or beach destinations without any concern for crowds or close quarters. Instead, you can while away the time in peace and tranquility while claiming a table outside (or indoors if it happens to rain later on) at sidewalk cafes and restaurants. This is also the perfect opportunity to enjoy Swedish coffee breaks as many hot beverages are served with black bread, cookies, and other pastries at this time of year during fika time! Besides being a delicious custom, taking coffee breaks together is an excellent way to socialize - so take this opportunity to bump into others who happen to be out wandering around.

  • HIT THE BEACH IN SWEDEN

You may not think of Sweden when it comes to the beaches, but, in fact, they are some of the best-kept secrets. You will find them in Southern Sweden and Northern Gotland, lapped by their neighboring Baltic Sea. Spot colorful beach huts along the soft sands of the Falsterbo peninsula, jutting out towards Denmark, or head to the picturesque island of Gotland, where powder-white sand and pine forests make for an idyllic setting. Meanwhile, the Österlen region dazzles with a stunning coastline. At Sandhammaren, you might feel you have stepped into the Caribbean, with lush green trees meeting a long sandy beach.

  • TAKE A BOAT TRIP TO SWEDEN

An excellent idea for a weekend trip would be sailing around Sweden's gorgeous coastline. You could take a sightseeing boat tour (where the tour guide will tell you about all the islands) or an island-hopping trip that lasts a few days. You can find many other ways to see these islands as well. One might be by riding in a vintage or antique boat and cruising along either the Göta Canal or another waterway near Stockholm and Gothenburg (there are two different archipelagos). When it comes to floating around on an old-timey boat in picturesque places, I think that sounds pretty dandy! Feel free to set aside the hot summer months and escape somewhere where the time goes by slower, and there aren't as many tourists - like where they speak Swedish, of course!
