Sweden Travel Guides

Climate:

Sweden's climate varies from north to south, but in general it is temperate due to the offshore Gulf Stream waters. Summers in Sweden are warm and pleasant. The best time to visit Sweden is in the summer months from June to August, when the days are long and warm and the open-air museums and restaurants are open. As summers are the most busy and expensive time to visit Sweden however, consider going in the spring or autumn, which are both very pleasant times and much less crowded. Winters in Sweden are very cold, particularly in the north where days are shorter and heavy frosts and bountiful snowfalls can be expected.
