Sweden Things to Do

We’ve come a long way from boat shoes, and tie-dye skirts, and in Sweden eco designers are creating elegant styles in sustainable materials for the über-conscious consumer. Whatever shade of green you’re into – green furniture, green hiking, green fashion – Swedish design is forests ahead!

Dance around the maypole in Sweden for Midsummers night, as the longest day of the year with ancient pagan traditions, this is one of the most unique holidays in Sweden. Drinking and dancing around the bonfire figure prominently. In the morning gather flowers and herbs to decorate the maypole, and traditional dress is often worn along with crowns made of wildflowers. Midsummer night is said to have a special magic and is the perfect time to make wishes and rituals for good luck into the future.
