When To Go

You can visit Sweden any time throughout the year. The northern region has a cool temperate climate throughout the year whereas the southern quarter of the country is comparatively warmer. Sweden’s weather can be influenced by high pressure buildups over Russia but is protected from the rainy weather systems of the Atlantic. Stockholm has about 9 hours of sunshine every day from May to July and very comfortable temperatures so it’s a very good time to check out the sites and sounds of the city; however it is just as good at any other time of the year!
