Sweden is one of Europe’s most beautiful and well-organised countries, famous for clean cities, peaceful nature, northern lights and a very high quality of life. From the colourful streets of Stockholm to the snowy wilderness of Swedish Lapland, it offers a different kind of European experience that many travellers from Pakistan are now discovering.
Whether you are planning a family holiday, a honeymoon, or a multi-country Scandinavian tour, this guide highlights the top tourist attractions in Sweden, practical travel tips, and how Malik Express Travel and Tours can help you plan a smooth and memorable trip.
Most trips to Sweden start in Stockholm, the capital built on 14 islands connected by bridges and ferries. It is often described as one of Europe’s most attractive capitals thanks to its waterfront setting, colourful old town and green parks.
Walk through narrow cobbled streets, medieval buildings and charming squares like Stortorget. Here you find the Nobel Prize Museum and many traditional cafes and souvenir shops.
One of Sweden’s most visited museums, displaying a huge seventeenth century warship that sank on its maiden voyage and was later recovered almost intact.
The world’s first open air museum, Skansen showcases traditional Swedish houses, crafts and local wildlife, making it a great place for families.
Take a boat trip to explore thousands of islands around Stockholm. In 2025, Sweden created the Nämdöskärgården marine national park in the outer archipelago, promoting eco friendly tourism such as kayaking and island hikes.
Trendy districts like Södermalm and Östermalm offer Scandinavian design shops, coffee culture and fine dining.
On Sweden’s west coast, Gothenburg is known for its relaxed atmosphere, canals, green spaces and a strong food scene focused on fresh seafood.
For travellers who dream of winter landscapes, Swedish Lapland in the far north is a highlight. This region includes towns like Kiruna, Abisko and Jukkasjärvi.
From late autumn to early spring, clear nights in Lapland offer some of the best chances in Europe to see the northern lights. Abisko National Park is especially famous for its favourable conditions.
The original Icehotel is rebuilt each winter entirely from ice and snow, with individually designed rooms, an ice bar and chapel.
Snowmobile safaris, dog sledding, reindeer sled rides and ice fishing are popular activities suitable for both couples and families.
In summer, the sun does not set for several weeks, giving long bright days perfect for hiking and photography.
In southern Sweden, Malmö offers a modern, youthful vibe and is linked to Copenhagen by the impressive Öresund Bridge, making it easy to combine Sweden and Denmark in one trip.
The island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea is a favourite summer destination for both locals and visitors. The town of Visby is a UNESCO listed medieval city with well preserved stone walls, churches and cobbled lanes.
Activities include cycling, beach walks, coastal drives and exploring historical ruins in a relaxed, sunny setting.
Beyond the cities, Sweden is full of national parks, hiking trails and lakes.
These areas are ideal for travellers who enjoy quiet nature, photography and soft adventure.
Warmest weather, long days, outdoor festivals, ideal for first time visitors and family holidays.
Cooler temperatures, colourful foliage and fewer crowds.
Best for northern lights, snow activities and Christmas markets. Lapland and some parts of central Sweden become true winter wonderlands.
Fresh air, blossoming parks and quieter cities, a good compromise between price and weather.
Most travellers from Pakistan connect via Istanbul, Doha, Dubai or European hubs such as Frankfurt before arriving in Stockholm, Gothenburg or Copenhagen. From there, domestic flights and trains make it easy to reach other Swedish cities.
