Coast to Coast - 2010

2 exquisite coastlines with a treat in the middle!

West Sweden has a captivating coastline scattered with hundreds of barren islands, rocky inlets and picturesque fishing villages. With the abundance of seafood - oysters, lobsters and fish are served in gourmet dishes along the coast and crayfish are an August specialty.

Örebro is one of Sweden's largest cities between Gothenburg & Stockholm. Örebro is located around the Svartån River and dominated by the impressive castle dating from the 1300's. Museums, parks, famous water towers, excellent shopping and friendly cafes make Örebro a great place to visit at any time of year.

Stockholm and the east coast are in complete contrast to the barren islands of the West Coast. The Stockholm Archipelago offers green islands and more inhabitable areas plus the chance to island hop among a large selection of the 24,000 islands making up Greater Stockholm. Just as picturesque as the West Coast but in a whole different way!
