Travel to the Nordic country of Sweden and indulge yourself in a totally different holiday. Experience independent culture, unique art and a different kind of life as you explore Sweden and all it has to offer. Read on to find out how to go on an affordable and fun summer holiday in this exciting country.
1. Bring extra bed linen and towels, if you can. Hotel and hostels are not cheap in Sweden. A decent hostel will set you back around $35 per night, excluding bed linens. If you want to sleep on proper linens, be ready to pay extra.
2. Walk instead of taking cabs or buses. Burn calories and explore Sweden through scenic routes by walking. Visit museums, hole-in-the-wall shops and small cafes in Halmstad, Göteborg and Karlskrona. You can check out the Internet for different routes or landmarks so that you don't get lost. Try visiting www.planetware.com for info on DIY walking tours.
3. Choose malt and barley over fermented grapes. What's a holiday for if you can't go out and drink? Wine and hard alcohol may be expensive in Sweden, but beer is relatively cheap. So, stick to the local brew if you want to have good times at low prices.
4. Join the summer solstice celebrations in Sweden. Midsummer (the longest day of the year in June) is a national holiday in this Nordic country. Revel with the Swedes as they decorate their houses, listen to traditional folk songs and eat fresh fruit and smoked fish and drink schnapps and beer!
Spend a spectacular summer holiday in Sweden. With the tips above, you're sure to have fun without burning a hole in your wallet.
