There, you can enjoy a boat excursion to many of Sweden’s most cherished landmarks, such as the island of Bjorko, home of Birka, the oldest Viking settlement (now in ruins but no less breathtaking) in the country.
If you and your special someone are in the mood for a cultural boost, try the Gamla Stan (“Old Town”) for some medieval sightseeing. Take your camera as you trace the footsteps of history in this beloved part of the city.
But Stockholm isn’t all there is to Sweden. Gothensburg is quite a paradise unto itself. There, you can stroll in the many parks, lovingly taken care of by gardeners and citizens. Truly, the Gothenburg Botanical Garden is a natural treasure and is treated that way by locals and visitors. |

Finally, what would a romantic holiday be without a trip to the famed Ice Hotel in Jukkasjarvi. Each year, it’s constructed and sculpted out of ice (no, we’re not kidding) and tourists from around the globe beg for a room just to say they’ve slept there. Believe it or not, this Ice Hotel is famous for stirring up tremendous amounts of “warmth” between giggling, snuggling couples.
So the next time you’re looking for a special place to take that special someone, open a map of Sweden and plan your trip. You’ll never regret or forget the memories you make in this Scandinavian lover’s Mecca.
