Most of the city’s prime attractions are within walking distance of each other, especially in the Old Town (“Gamla Stan” in Swedish) district of the city, where palaces, museums, parks and churches await you around every corner. 
• Malmö, the “gateway to the Continent”, is located in southern Sweden and its main draw is its stunning modern architecture and scenic waterfront.  Malmö, unlike other major northern European cities, boasts its own beach in the hustle and bustle of the downtown area.  Malmö is also a convenient location when it comes to travel in and around Sweden: By booking cheap flights to Sweden via Malmö, there are numerous public transportation options at your disposal for reaching other points in Sweden efficiently and at low cost.  The capital city of Denmark, Copenhagen, is connected to Malmö by way of the Öresund Bridge.
• When it comes to cuisine, cheese and shellfish tend to be the base ingredients for the most delicious traditional Swedish recipes.  Gothenburg, the second largest city in Sweden located along the western coast, is quickly becoming the culinary capital of the country with a barrage of internationally renowned restaurants.  Check out the Feskekôrka, also known as the “Fish Church”, in downtown Gothenburg: This bustling market is the place to be when it comes to getting a hold of the best catch of the day.
• The freezing winter that envelopes Sweden provides travelers with unique experiences that capitalize on the cold.  The Ice Hotel of Jukkasjärvi is a prime example of Sweden’s winter tourism: The hotel, which is constructed entirely from snow and blocks of ice taken from the Torne River, includes a church, reception area and the famed Absolut Icebar.  The hotel starts melting in April, so if you’re looking for the fanciest, most frigid experience when it comes to travel, book your cheap flight to Sweden for the first half of winter.
• If you’re looking for hotels outside of the city center, try booking a Visby hotel. Other Baltic Sea hotels are available for all travel types and budgets.
