Straight to the heart of Sweden!

Central Sweden is Sweden’s heartland and a place of striking natural beauty. The pearl of the region is Stockholm, the nation’s heartbreakingly beautiful capital city that takes centre-stage in Sweden’s cultural and political life. It is spread across 14 islands, each offering its very own take on the city and offering fabulous shopping, great cuisine and just about anything you could want to do.

Going north in the region you will find the great Great Copper Mine in Falun, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The riches found and mined here paved the way for Sweden to become a major power in Europe some three centuries ago. Falun is where the famous, brightly coloured model Dalecarlian horses come from and was home to famous Swedish painter Carl Larsson, whose home is open to the public. Rent a summer cottage by a lake, take a day trip to the Stockholm archipelago, or visit one of the many palaces, castles and manor houses.
