Sweden is the third largest country in the European Union and one of the most beautiful. Of course, one cannot think of Sweden without being reminded of the world’s largest furniture company, IKEA. Made popular by its cost effectiveness, IKEA certainly has made our home needs easier and from its success, other furniture designer companies have followed suit. Fashion For Home also offers designer furniture direct from the manufacturers. However, Sweden’s contribution to the world is far more than just bargain furniture.
Explore Lapland's Winter Wonderland
During the cold months it is a Winter Wonderland and its untouched wilderness remains its number one tourist attraction. Lapland has unique scenery and a stunning place to view the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. Situated in the far north of Sweden it is known as “Western Europe’s last wilderness” and is listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List for its incredible nature and historic site for the Sami people that lived there for thousands of years.
Dog Sledding fun through Sweden
For a true adventure, Sweden is the place to try mushing your own team of Alaskan Huskies in the Swedish Mountains. Dog sledding through the winter snow forests and frozen fields of Sweden is one of the most exotic things one can do. Be prepared to spot reindeer, wolverines, arctic hares and if you are incredibly lucky, maybe a glimpse of the Arctic Fox as well.
If you’re happening to be dog sledding in Lapland, don’t forget about visiting the ICEHOTEL Located in the village of Jukkasjarvi, the ICEHOTEL has double rooms and suites contracted entirely of ice. Surprisingly, you won’t freeze to death staying here. The chill can’t penetrate the reindeer skin laid out on the bed and you’ll be provided with a down-filled sleeping bag.
