With cheap flights available to Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo, Sweden is becoming an increasingly popular destination. This visitor's guide is designed to help the reader discover the countryside and coastline, the cafes and culture, Bronze Age carvings, mediaeval churches, Renaissance castles and 18th-century pastel-painted towns of the country. It also explores the wide open spaces of the north and discusses the aurora borealis.

Stanley Bloom, who lives in Sweden, has rewritten and restructured the second edition of this "Blue Guide". The guide features practical information, including hotel and restaurant recommendations and details of sports opportunities. There is also advice for business travellers.
