Spring Activities in Sweden

Springtime in Sweden isn’t like springtime in America. Here, the temperatures hover between the high 30s to mid-50s, but people begin to get outside. April is an ideal time to visit the country – while there can be unseasonal storms that linger, it is also the time of year when daylight stretches to 13 hours, flowers burst from the ground and the outdoor activities beckon.

Coldest Bed in Sweden

This is one hotel that never stays the same. Sweden’s ICEHOTEL, located 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, along the banks of the river Torne in Jukkasjärvi, and home not only to the Northern Lights but also the Midnight Sun, is a winter attraction not to be missed. Each winter, this hotel is rebuilt, becoming not only a place to sleep, but also a living, breathing work of art which reflects the environment where it resides. Each summer, the hotel returns to its natural form, flowing back into the river from where it was sourced.

The highlight of my train trip from Berlin to Stockholm was going over the Great Belt Bridge between Zealand and Sprogø in Denmark. Although the train takes a tunnel for the spectacular suspension bridge section, the box girder bridge from Sprogø to Funen is truly magnificent.

A short ride across the Öresund Bridge from Copenhagen to Sweden and you’re in Malmö, a cosmopolitan city with a dramatically revitalized post-industrial energy. Once a run-down harbor area, the seafront is now bristling with life and architecture, notably the landmark ‘Turning Torso’ building which appears to twist into the ground and sky above the seaside cityscape packed with cafes bars and restaurants.
