Cold for much of the year; Sweden is a good destination for a snow-sport holiday. In the Northern most Swedish resorts, skiing is possible from November until June, and one can even ski in shorts and a t-shirt under the midnight sun! The mountains in Sweden offer the space and quality of the Alps without the hoards of tourists. Try skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, ice skating and build some Swedish snow men with your family all in the pristine landscape of the Swedish mountains.

The Swedish Kroner comes at about 8 to the U.S. dollar and prices are surprisingly low for local specialties such as leather crafts, fur and furniture.

There's a lot of Sweden that lies outside the city, the snowy mountains and the long stretch of coastline. Sweden's countryside is dotted with quaint farmhouses and ancient castles, many a convenient day trip from Stockholm on Sweden's expansive and efficient rail system.
