Geography

Sweden looks like a long banana. From south to north, the country stretches 1572 kilometers. A distance of 499 kilometers separates east from west. It has a coastline of 2400 kilometers, surrounded by the Baltic Sea in the east. Finland, Norway, and Denmark are our neighbours.

Did you know that Sweden is the fourth largest country in Europe? 15% of its area lies north of the pole circle. Despite this, Sweden is relatively flat, especially in the south. Kebnekaise, which is 2111 meters high, is the highest mountain.
Sweden鈥檚 largest lake is V盲nern, which is also the largest lake in Europe. The number of lakes in Sweden exceeds 100,000. Another unknown fact about Sweden is the number of islands. Sweden has 221,831 making it the most islands in any country.
The capital of Sweden, Stockholm, is in my view one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The capital city is built on 14 islands connected by more than 50 bridges.
This is why you are always surrounded by water, whether it is a coastline, a sea, a river, or a lake. The ability to swim is in my opinion a necessity for thriving in Sweden.

There are only 10,5 million residents in the country. 2 million people, including myself, have a foreign heritage, which amounts to 20%. Foreign-born Swedes contribute substantially to the reputation of Sweden too.

People, Sports, and Nature

In Sweden, we have allemansr盲tten. Sweden鈥檚 鈥淩ight of Public Access鈥, or 鈥楢llemansr盲tten鈥, is all about freedom of movement and exploration. If you do not disturb or destroy Sweden鈥檚 nature, you are welcome to enjoy it wherever and whenever you like.

Activities related to nature and the outdoors are very popular. Hiking, skiing, and camping are popular outdoor activities due to traditions, habits, and environmental conservation policies.

Swedish people are known for their sporty and active lifestyles. Sports such as hiking, swimming, biking, tennis, gymnastics, golfing, and athletics. Cross-country skiing, skiing, and skating. In addition to team sports such as football (soccer), ice hockey, handball, and floorball, motorsports and equestrian sports are also popular.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the most famous Swedish sportsman and football (soccer) player of all time. The white, blond, fair-skinned, beautiful people of Sweden have long been known for their beauty. In spite of this, Sweden should be recognized for its intellectual capital and innovation.

There have been numerous innovations and technologies created by well-known companies, including IKEA, Volvo, Saab, Scania, Ericsson, H&M, Spotify, and Electrolux.
