Weather in Sweden is typically cold from October to April, but in the summer (late May to early September) temperature lies around 20 °C.

Stockholm

Over 30% of the city area is made up of waterways, and another 30% is made up of green areas.

That’s very easy. The Swedish capital is getting trendier and trendier. Stockholm is a city where every LGBTQ will feel at home. The LGBTQ event in Stockholm is like the city itself: easy to reach, very nice, very varied, warm and welcoming.

Treehotel in Harrads in Sweden

You could easily walk past the Treehotel in Sweden without realizing that you have ever been there. The hotel rooms are located high above the ground, among the trees and well camouflaged. For example, there are hotel rooms which are decorated with mirrors. The cube-shaped room is therefore almost invisible.
