I visited Stockholm no less than four times for a city trip (what a lovely place) and I also went to Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden for a city trip.

Since there are a number of rules regarding the freedom camping in Sweden, I have written this useful article for you so that you can prepare for your Sweden trip the best way possible. Enjoy…

Fulufjället National Park in Sweden: all you need to know
Fulufjället National Park in Sweden is a bit touristic if you compare it to many other national parks in Sweden, but that is with good reason.
