Sweden is one of Europe's best kept secrets. The country has so much to offer. Besides, it's very affordable nowadays and climate is much better than most people think.

Just to give you an idea what to see I made a top-10 of tourist attractions in Sweden. Here they are - in no particular order.

Stockholm Stockholm has it all: unique location, great architecture, historical sights, famous museums, huge parks, a vibrant nightlife, trendy shops – and an archipelago of 24,000 islands just around corner. It's a remarkably clean and safe city as well. If you haven’t seen Stockholm, you haven’t seen Sweden.

Gotland Speaking of tourist attractions in Sweden, one wouldn’t expect to think of beaches. But there are beaches in Sweden. Some of best are found on Baltic island of Gotland, which is popular among Swedes and attracts thousands of visitors every summer. The walled medieval town of Visby is an attraction on its own.

Lake Siljan Found in heart of Dalarna, central Sweden, this lake is center of folklore and tradition. Dalarna is a popular holiday destination in summer. Thousands of Swedes visit Leksand every year to see midsummer pole set up. The nearby town of Rättvik is famous for its folk dancing. Also worth a visit is bear park in Orsa.

Mines Mining has always had a special attraction. Mines make some of most exciting tourist attractions in Sweden. Three are worth a visit. The copper mine of Falun, Dalarna (now on World Heritage List), and iron-ore mines of Kiruna and Gällivare in Lapland. You can book a guided tour and go down yourself.
