High Season
The season starts in mid-summer in June, extending until August. Most places of interest and accommodation will be open. The prices are high due to the foreign tourists. Some restaurants and shops close in July or August when the Swedes take their own vacations.
Shoulder Season
September and October are neutral months in terms of tourism. The weather is still good, exceptional to enjoy without the usual visits and relax without the occasional noise caused by tourists. Many tourist places are closed, but you will have the rest for yourself. Hotel rates return to normal, but fall on weekends.
Low Season
The best season for winter sports adventures occurs between November and May, the northern lights and the holiday markets are excellent options to enjoy these months despite the cold weather. Book winter accommodation and activities in advance. Many camps and shelters are closed during the winter.
Your trip to Sweden

Your travel to Sweden has about 37% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.

37%
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends.
If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
