Flying is an efficient option thanks to the well-developed
system of regional airports around the country. Sweden's many lakes, islands and canals are linked by an
extensive network of canal boats, vintage steamers, and ferries - large and
small. For information on air, rail, sea and lake connections and
timetables, please contact Travellink. Motorways and roads are relatively free of traffic (by
international standards), and are well maintained. Sometimes the only traffic
you will have to look out for is the occasional deer or elk crossing the road!
Getting Around in
Sweden
Traveling within Sweden is quite easy as
their rail network is efficient and extensive. Comfortable, modern trains
are designed to deal with all kinds of weather.

Suggestions for Dining in
Sweden has gained an international
reputation for its culinary excellence. The emphasis is on high-quality natural
ingredients - notably fresh, pickled and smoked seafood and game meats, such as
elk and reindeer. The famous Swedish smörgåsbord is rather less common
these days, but most hotels offer a smörgåsbord-style breakfast. You
will also find a wide variety of ethnic restaurants because of today's
multicultural society.
