Sweden Travel Guide Sweden Travel Guide Orebro Castle in the autumn sunny day, Sweden Sweden is located in Northern Europe. Stockholm is the capital city of the country. Sweden shares its borders with Finland, Norway, and the Baltic Sea. Swedish is the official language of Sweden. The country is divided into twenty- one counties. Along with Swedish, English is also widely spoken in Sweden. Sweden is a member of the European Union since 1995. Sweden can be visited during both the summer and winter months. Remember to pack some good winter clothes, if you are going to Sweden during winter. The standard of living in the country is high and Sweden is an expensive country to visit. Sweden is a major exporter of articles like timber, copper, iron, etc. Some of the important international airports of Sweden are: Stockholm Arlanda, Göteborg Landvetter, and Copenhagen Kastrup. If you are in any of the neighboring countries like Denmark, Norway, Germany, or France, then you can reach Sweden by train. You can also reach Sweden by boat. Though Sweden is a big country, traveling by plane is an expensive affair, and it is better to travel by train or bus. Some of the tourist attractions in Sweden: Lapland wilderness Gripsholm Castle Skokloster Slott Castle Sareks National Park The Swedish Museum of Natural History The Kingdom of Crystal The Nordic Museum Getting In The different modes of transportation for reaching Sweden include plane, train, bus and boat. Plane Airways is perhaps the most comfortable way of reaching the country. The major international airport of Sweden is the Stockholm-Arlanda International Airport. The other important airports of Sweden include the Goteborg Landvetter and the Copenhagen Kastrup. Some less important airports in Sweden include the Stockholm Skavsta Airport, the Stockholm Vasteras Airport, the Goteborg City Airport, and the Malmo-Sturup Airport. The national airlines of Sweden, the Scandinavian Airlines, operate flights to Sweden from international locations in Asia, Europe and North America. The same airline would prove helpful while traveling within the country. Other foreign airlines which would help you in getting to Sweden are: Air Berlin, British Airways, Finnair, Aeroflot-Russian airlines, Air China, Air France, Austrian Airlines, Blue1, Czech Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Thai International airways, etc. Train Reaching Sweden by train is also possible, provided you are located in any of the three following countries Denmark, Norway, and Germany. From Copenhagen in Denmark to Malmo in Sweden, you can reach by train in less than half an hour. Trains are also available from Copenhagen to Stockholm. From Norway, you could enjoy a train ride from Oslo to Stockholm or Gothenburg. From Germany, trains run from Berlin to Malmo in Sweden. Bus Eurolines or Safflebussen are the options of buses that you have for getting to Sweden. These buses would take you to Sweden via Copenhagen. Boat It is also possible to reach Sweden by boat. From Denmark and Germany, the Stena Line and Scandlines would take you to Sweden. The DFDS Tor Line operates boats from Belgium, Russia, and the United Kingdom to Sweden. The countries from where you can reach Sweden by boat are listed below: Belgium Denmark Estonia Finland Latvia Germany Norway Poland Russia United Kingdom Transport You may choose to get around Sweden using any of the modes. Planes The national airlines of Sweden, Scandinavian Airlines, operate both domestic, as well as, international flights in the country. Other domestic airlines of Sweden include Skyways, Direktflyg, FlyNordic, Malmo Aviation, and Gotlandsflyg. The domestic flights in Sweden connect most parts of the country. The Stockholm-Arlanda International Airport is the major international airport of Sweden. Car Some of the places where you can try out this mode of transportation in Sweden include Svealand, Gotaland, and Norrland. But, it is advisable to go by air or by train, if the distance is too long. You should also be wary of wild animals, while driving at night in Sweden. Some of the animals you should look out for are moose, deer, etc. Bus There are excellent bus services in the country. The bus journeys would be cheaper than the one made by train. Some of the popular bus services which ply in Sweden include Swebus Express, Y-buss, and Harjedalingen. The Swebus Express would take you from Gotaland to Svealand. The other two buses would take you from Stockholm to Norrland. Train The railway company SJ is owned by the Swedish government. The SJ operates trains to major locations in the country, through an excellent railway network, which exists in Sweden. It would be advisable to book your tickets early; the tickets are a lot cheaper that way. Other trains are Skanetrafiken and Connex. Tourists can also avail of a Swedish Rail Pass. The train timetables are also displayed in English. Thus, the tourists would not find it difficult to find their trains. Tips The best time of the year for visiting Sweden is during the summer months. It is during this time that most of the tourists are seen in the country. Most of the museums in Sweden open their doors to the visitors at this time of the year. The winter season in Sweden, the off season, is best avoided. It could become difficult for the tourists to find accommodation in Sweden during the peak season. Thus, you should make your hotel bookings, early. You need to be careful, if you are driving in Sweden. You could find your car crashing into one wild animal or the other. The wild animals which you need to look out for include moose, deer, etc. The moose is perhaps the most dangerous, as it could crash right through the window of the car while you drive. The moose warning signs on the roads would, no doubt, make you aware of how serious the problem is. Be extra careful when you drive at night. The deer could be equally troublesome. Say thank you at every opportune moment in the country. The people of Sweden would appreciate your saying 'tack', which is Swedish for thank you. It is quite all right if you over do it, but not doing it at all could be insulting for the people you meet in Sweden. The Swedes are known to be very honest and upright people and they would expect the same qualities from you. Always, is to be punctual. The Swedes dislike people who do not live up to their words. So, if you have an appointment with someone, then make it a point to be on time. This should be beneficial for you, since you can expect them to be punctual too. You must also remember to take off your shoes when you enter the house of any of the Swedes. Some of the places in Sweden which the tourists must visit: The Royal Djurgarden The Royal Palace The City Hall The Museum of National Antiquities The Stockholm Archipelago The Gothenburg Botanical Gardens The Liseberg Amusement Park The Elfsborg Fortress The Gota Canal The Gothenburg Archipelago mapsofworld.com provides Interesting Information about Tourist Destinations from across the world.

  • Low Cost Monitor 2/2008
    Low Cost Monitor 2/2008 - A Joint Analysis of DLR and ADV - 617 Routes The current Low Cost Carrier Market in Germany Autumn 2008 The current Low Cost Carrier Market in Germany (2008) Since several years the low cost carrier (LCC) market is an essential part of the German air transport market. The Low Cost Monitor, jointly issued by ADV and DLR, twice a year informs on LCC’s essential features and current developments in this market segment, particularly as to the number and relative importance of low cost carriers, their offers including the air fare, and the passenger demand. The offers reflected by the current Monitor are based on one reference week of the summer flight schedule 2008. The passenger traffic indicated relates to the half year total of 2008. Airlines 4 The airlines involved in the Low Cost business, design their flight services quite differently. Due to this inhomogeneity, only a few clear distinctive criteria can be defined, for example low fares and direct sale via the Internet. Thus, in some cases a certain scope of discretion arises when allocating an airline to the LCC-segment. Furthermore, for several airlines amalgamations of business models are seen, which additionally complicate the accurate allocation of airlines to the Low Cost Market. The authors of this Monitor currently classify 23 airlines operating on German airports as low cost carriers. These are in detail (see also Table 1): Aer Lingus (EI) (www.aerlingus.com), Fleet: 33 Aircraft (A320: 27/A321: 6) Air Baltic (BT) (www.airbaltic.com), Fleet: 25 Aircraft

The first involves a pilot perception test, used for detecting tendencies in human clustering of Swedish dialects. 30 Swedish listeners were asked to identify the geographical origin of Swedish native speakers by clicking on a map of Swe- den. Results indicate for example that listeners from the south of Sweden are better at recognizing some major Swedish di- alects than listeners from the central part of Sweden, which in- cludes the capital area. The second approach concerns a method for modelling intonation using the newly developed SWING (SWedish INtonation Generator) tool, where annotated speech samples are resynthesized with rule based intonation and audio- Figure 1: Approximate geographical distribution of the seven visually analysed with regards to the major intonational vari- main regional varieties of Swedish. eties of Swedish.

  • Nyhet! Direktflyg Till Krakow Från Jönköping
    Foto: Shutterstock 2019-11-01 10:07 CET Nyhet! Direktflyg till Krakow från Jönköping Jönköping Airport utökar sitt utbud med ytterligare en destination. I samarbete med researrangören goTO Nordics erbjuder man en weekendcharter till Krakow den 2-5 april 2020. goTO Nordics har sedan en tid tillbaka lanserat flygningar från Kalmar, Skellefteå, Karlstad och Sundsvall till bland annat Amsterdam, Riga, Paris, Prag och Bratislava. Resenärerna kan välja att boka endast en flygstol och själva boka hotell och aktiviteter eller köpa färdiga paketresor med hotell, transfer, guidade utflykter och reseledare. Tidigare framgångar ger researrangören goda förhoppningar på att Krakow nu ska attrahera Jönköpingsregionen. – Vi är mycket glada för det positiva mottagandet som våra resor från ett flertal regionala flygplatser har fått. Vår senaste produktion som flögs från Kalmar och Skellefteå till Krakow i oktober 2019 bokade snabbt fullt, säger Olle Fält VD för goTO Nordics AB. En stad med anor från 1300-talet. Den anrika staden Krakow i södra Polen skonades helt från bombningar under Andra världskriget och har därför mycket vackert att visa upp i form av kultur och unika byggnader. Dessutom är staden Europas Gastronomiska Huvudstad under 2019 vilket borgar för att resan kan bli uppskattad också av finsmakare. Resan erbjuder vidare utflykter till saltgruvan i Wieliczka med dess underjordiska salar som är vackert skulpterade och med kristallkronor hängande från taket. En del av Europas mest mörka historia, koncentrationslägret i Auschwitz kan också besökas under en guidad visning. – Det känns fantastiskt att vi tillsammans med goTO Nordics har möjlighet att göra den här satsningen på en weekendresa från Jönköping.
