Traveling from Sweden to northern Europe is really easy and cheap, nordic countries offers the most amazing landscapes during winter for those like me that come from warmer countries.

Stockholm is a wonderful city and a good place to live. It is also a good place to find good prices to travel to other countries (it is also close to Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Denmark!!) If you have money you will have a great time here!!! Don't miss it!!
