Personal comments
The best cafe to go is called "coozy" without any doubt. The capital 'stockholm' is the city you do not have to miss in sweden. The north of sweden and the fjords are also wonderful. The two nights clubs in Karlstad are also pretty good. In summer a national celebration called 'mid-sommar' must be also lived.
