Stockholm is generally the most popular city that tourists visit in Sweden, but I found the southern part of the country to be quite beautiful!
Osterlen
I was quite surprised how stunning the beaches are here, especially in the Stenshuvud National Park! The sand was powdery white and the water was an iridescent blue. I can see why it’s such a popular getaway for Stockholmers!
Kaseberga
If you check out this beautiful fishing harbor village, grab a salmon burger from Kaseberga Fisk restaurant! It’s prepared like poke and amazingly fresh. This is also a great place to surf!
Ales Stenar
After grabbing a burger, there’s a trail behind the village that leads you to this Viking relic. The stones range from 400 - 600 AD, but some samples have been carbon-dated to be about 5500 years old. Highly recommended for a stunning sunset view over the ocean!
Cold Bath Houses & Saunas
Sauna culture is a big thing in the Scandinavian countries; although there are many you can try, this one is the best in southern Sweden! Check out Bjerreds Saltsjöbad, a cold bath house and sauna that is at the end of a pier over the ocean.
Ystad
The downtown area is really cute with all sorts of fun shops! My favorite restaurants are Graffiti Cafe and Byvagen Ystad!
