Sweden maps

Sweden is the largest of the Scandinavian countries, covering an area of 410,934km2. It is located in northern Europe, bordering the Baltic Sea, Gulf of Bothnia, Kattegat and Skagerrak, between Finland and Norway. The dominant characteristics of the landscape can be attributed to glacial activity. The 7000-kilometre-long coastline, particularly in the west and near Stockholm, is constantly cut by fjords. Sweden's highest peak is the glacier-capped northern peak of Mt Kebnekaise at 2111m.

The capital, Stockholm, is located in the southern half of the country on the coast. There are regular ferry connections to nearby Tallinn in Estonia and Helsinki. The train network in Sweden is excellent and means that travel from the capital never takes very long.
