The city of Malmö

The city of Malmö is one of the best destinations in the Swedish city for year-round travel. Southern Sweden guarantees you a temperate climate, and the amount of things to do in the area (not to mention the proximity to Copenhagen) makes Malmö a visitor’s dream. When planning your visit, keep in mind that it is actually much faster to get from Copenhagen to Malmö than it is from Stockholm to Malmö.

The city of Uppsala

Younger travelers will simply love Uppsala. Uppsala is the best city in Sweden for hip and trendy nightlife; after all, it is a college town with thousands of students, many events, and an excellent transportation network. But there are things that appeal to all ages: the long and interesting history of this city includes a Viking burial site called Gamla Uppsala and the ruins of an 11th century church. Plus, it’s only an hour from the beautiful but picturesque Swedish town of Gävle.
