Autumn leaves, Sweden style

It is not too difficult to find things to do in Sweden during a summer like this — there is a lake or a beach practically around every corner, and the Swedes sure know how to make the most of outdoor lunching, dining and drinking. But if you visit Sweden just as the cold sets in and you have to wrap up in a woolly cardigan, where should you go?

Award-winning restaurants and stylish bars certainly do not disappear with the summer sun, but there is more to a holiday or weekend getaway than just food and drink. Perhaps you are looking for a nature experience beyond the ordinary, or you want to understand Sweden’s history better? Maybe it is a team-building experience you are after, or an unforgettable night spent in a hotel high up in a tree?
