Best time to travel to Sweden

When you think of Sweden, images of icy winters and snow-covered landscapes probably spring to mind. But the weather in Sweden is as diverse as its nature. With a length of over 1,500 kilometres, the country stretches from southern Sweden in the temperate zone to northern Sweden in the cold tundra. All regions offer unique weather conditions - from warm summers in the south to snowy winters in the north.

Our recommendation: May and June - the best time to travel to Sweden

In recent years, May and June have proven to be the best months for a holiday in Sweden. These months are among the sunniest and most pleasant times to visit the country. May in particular often surprises with almost continuous sunshine and mild temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees. June brings particularly long days with the summer solstice, with up to 18 hours of light. Perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or boat trips.

Fewer tourists, more peace and quiet

Another advantage of travelling in May and June is that there are no big crowds of tourists and you can enjoy the picturesque landscapes and idyllic lakes in peace. Whether it's solitary hikes, walks on deserted beaches or a visit to the charming little towns - you often have the feeling of having Sweden all to yourself.

Cheaper holiday homes in the low season

In addition to the pleasant weather and the peace and quiet, the favourable prices are also attractive. As many holiday homes are still in the low season, the rental prices are significantly lower than in the high season. This means you get the same quality at a better price - ideal for enjoying a relaxing holiday without breaking the bank.

The diversity of the Swedish climate: from southern to northern Sweden

• Southern SwedenSummer temperatures of up to 30 degrees await you here. Especially near the coast, you can experience warm, dry days that are perfect for days at the beach or exploring.

• Central SwedenIn cities like Stockholm, summers are shorter but intense. The long days in June, with only a few hours of darkness, are ideal for outdoor adventures. In winter, snow and ice dominate the scene, ideal for winter sports fans.

• Northern SwedenThe extreme climatic differences offer the midnight sun in summer - it doesn't get dark for weeks. In winter, on the other hand, you can experience polar nights and impressive snowy landscapes that can be up to 2 metres deep.
