As a travel agent specialist for Sweden, I can tell you that this country has so many beautiful sights to offer that it is difficult to decide which one is the best.  So, if you’re looking for a few recommendations on where to go and what to see during your trip then you’ve come to the right place. As a travel agent professional, I can provide closer look at some of the most impressive places in Sweden.  Whether you’re interested in natural wonders or man-made structures, you won’t be disappointed when you visit the following must-see places in Sweden! Curious about which ones they are? Keep reading to find out!

1. Charles XIV Johan's Rotunda Sweden is a country full of interesting and impressive structures, but one that sticks out among the rest is Charles XIV Johan's Rotunda. This magnificent building was completed in 1874, but it was originally meant to be a church. The architect had the idea of turning it into a rotunda after experiencing an earthquake in Italy.  It took him six years to complete it and today, this site is open for visitors to enjoy. The Charles XIV Johan's Rotunda is not only beautiful on the inside, but also on the outside with its symmetrical design and five architectural domes.

2. Skansen Skansen is the world’s first open-air museum and is a favorite tourist attraction in Sweden. It was founded in 1891 by Artur Hazelius and displays a variety of exhibits relating to Swedish culture, including replicas of landmarks in the form of an old farmstead as well as creative depictions of cultural traditions. If you are looking for something interactive to do on your visit, Skansen offers ample opportunities. For example, you can take a ride on a horse drawn carriage or enjoy traditional Swedish food at one of the many restaurants there. You can also experience the famous Scandinavian summer in one of the area’s cozy cottages and wooden houses.

3. The Blue Church As the name suggests, this church is blue! It was built by Lars Sonck and can be found in the town of Västerås. The building is made out of wood and has a unique color scheme which includes green details. The Blue Church, or is also called Blå Kyrkan.  

4. Uppsala Cathedral and University Uppsala Cathedral and university is located in Sweden’s fifth largest city, Uppsala. Uppsala is an interesting mix of old medieval charm and modern development. Home to one of the oldest universities in Northern Europe, it also is home to Scandinavia’s largest cathedral church and one of the world’s finest music venues. In addition, the town features a world-famous botanical garden, which displays more than 10,000 species of plants.6. Iron museums If you love history, then you won’t want to miss out on this Swedish tradition. In the Iron museums of Sweden, visitors are able to learn about Sweden’s industrial development and see old mining methods first-hand.  This is a great place for those who enjoy hands-on experiences. Visitors can participate in activities like panning for gold and making iron nails, which is great if you want to bring home some souvenirs with a more personal touch.

5. Stockholm – the Capital of Sweden Stockholm is the capital and largest city of Sweden. The city’s location on the Swedish east coast provides both a natural harbor and a bridgehead for trade with Finland, which is why it was chosen to be the Swedish capital during its construction in 1634. In Stockholm you will find many museums, including some of the most iconic ones in all of Scandinavia such as: Vasa Museum (the world’s best preserved 17th century ship), Nobel Museum (memorializing Alfred Nobel, inventor of dynamite), National museum (Sweden's national museum for art), Skansen Kronan (a military museum) and Nordic Museum (an ethnographic museum).8. Gärdesudden Beach and Coop's Kalfarneri CafeThere are plenty of enchanting beaches in Sweden to enjoy, but one that stands out is Gärdesudden Beach. It's a perfect spot for surfing and swimming. The water is shallow and the sand is soft so it's great for families with children.  If you want to stop for a bite after your day at the beach, head over to the Coop's Kalfarneri Cafe. This restaurant serves classic Swedish dishes like meatballs and fish cakes that will satisfy your palate and appetite.9rs both cultural diversity and excitement. If you are looking for a different experience, be sure to visit Charles XIV Johan's Rotunda, Gärdesudden Beach and Coop's Kalfarneri Cafe. You won't regret any of your visits. Let me guide you in your journey as your travel agent professional. Give me a call today!

Excellent Customer Service
Reviewed By Bonnie - Mastic Beach, New York | Traveled to Switzerland ~ Europe
Stoddard is a wonderful travel agent who provides outstanding customer service!

I initially contacted Stoddard via email. He reached out to me that very same day via phone and email. I spoke with him at length that afternoon and explained that we want to go on a 10-12 day trip to Switzerland. Before I went to bed that evening, he sent over a full itinerary which included flights, hotels, some meals, and recommendations for how to spend our time. All of this came in under our budget. Everything that Stoddard picked was fabulous, but since we had some extra money we added an extra night and made one or two upgrades. Stoddard was patient, friendly, and responsive throughout all of our interactions, and he always gave his honest opinion when we asked him for his input. It's evident that he knows Switzerland very well!! Our trip is now officially booked and we could not be more excited!

I highly recommend using Stoddard to plan your next vacation. He will not disappoint!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Colinradich - Ventura, CA | Traveled to Europe
Stoddard was a fantastic representative that provided us with a once in a life time trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives. His attention to detail and communication were impeccable, and he did everything he could to ensure we had the most amazing experience ever. I can't recommend his services enough and I refer him to friends and family all of the time. I know they share my feelings as well, based on their experiences working with Stoddard. I can't recommend him enough.

Honeymoon to Thailand
Reviewed By mike-and-emilia - San Diego | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
First time getting away in many years, newlyweds on our post-honeymoon vacation somewhere we knew nothing about, and Stoddard immediately got a great trip together, along with all the experience he had living there a few years. Never used an agent before, not to mention a specialist like Stoddard. Talked me through the options, send example, settled on a 14 day trip, and it was awesome... Thanks Stoddard !
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
