Welcome to one of the largest botanical gardens in Northern Europe. The cultivated part occupies 40 acres and holds about 12 000 species.

A lovely garden with so many different plants and trees in one place. Springtime, summer, autumn, winter, worth visiting all year round. Nice cafe for a rest as well.

It is the perfect option for a sunny day. the trip to the islands of the southern archipelago is cheap and fast, and there are frequent ferry-trips all day long. Also, you have the option of island-hopping, where you can visit more than one islands in a day. I visited the island of Styrso, which was truly beautiful. If the weather allows it, make sure you carry a swimsuit, because there are also places at the island where you can anjoy a swim.

My boyfriend and I visited the Upper House Spa on a recommendation from my sister, and wow was it amazing! Check-in to the spa was easy, changing rooms clean, and all amenities provided for you in the locker (towel, robe and slippers). We were given a tour of the spa before starting, which was helpful. It is also mobile-free, which I think is fantastic as we felt SO detoxed after our day there! We decided to do the Spa Experience where we were given a bag with different products to use in different areas of the spa. The pools were clean, and we especially enjoyed the outdoor pool. The sauna was great, and we enjoyed using the ice provided to stimulate blood circulation. The spa also provides shampoo, conditioner and body wash at every shower (and in the changing rooms) which were really good quality and smelt amazing... I washed my hair twice while we were there!! Although it is pricey, I really do think it is worth every penny. We spent 4.5 hrs at the spa, and the staff carefully regulate the number of customers using the spa to ensure it never feels ‘busy’, and maintains the feeling of being exclusive. I really really recommend this spa, and will definitely come back again in the future!

This 19th-century worker's district is now lined with shops.

I love the cobbled streets, the architecture, the little coffee shops, restaurants and general ambiance. And the cinnamon buns. You must have a coffee and a cinnamon bun or you haven’t really been to Sweden. My other half is less impressed - it’s just cobbled streets and cafes he says. He forgets about the nice little shops. I say - go and see and then decide whose side you are on!
