In summer :
To break with the reputation that makes it an icy desert even in July, and because the fine sand of the beaches of the Gulf of Bothnia is well worth that of southern Europe.To experience the days that never end.... The further north you go, the longer it will be daylight; people who have experienced it say they have experienced a kind of euphoria, a mixture of creativity and energy whose source is this inexhaustible sun.For its large lakes (Vänern, Vättern, Mälaren), with such varied landscapes and waters full of fish.
