More About Rail Travel In Sweden

Sweden has an extensive railway network. Most major lines are controlled by SJ. Regional public transport is usually operated by private companies contracted by the counties.

For instance, when travelling regionally in the province of Scania (Skåne in Swedish), one should refer to Skånetrafiken. Connex provides affordable railroad transportation up north.

The national public transport authority is called Rikstrafiken whose online timetable (trains, buses and ferries) includes an English language version and is called Resplus. Swebus Express runs a number of bus lines through the middle and southern parts and offering good discounts when not offering free travel Eurail Sweden Rail Pass holders.

You can reach Sweden by train from three countries at present:

Denmark: Trains depart Copenhagen and Copenhagen's airport for Malmö every 20 minutes, and cost only about SEK 85 ("Öresundståg / Øresundstog" regional trains). The train goes over the magnificent Öresund Bridge to get to Sweden in less than 30 minutes. Furthermore direct trains (X2000) leave from Copenhagen to Stockholm. The Elsinore-Helsingborg connection, known as one of the busiest ferry routes in Europe, might also be used (change to ship).

Norway: Main connections between Oslo and Stockholm and Gothenburg as well as connections between Trondheim - Åre - Östersund and Narvik - Kiruna - Boden - Stockholm.

Germany: Berlin to Malmö with "Berlin Night Express".

Finland: Travel via Kemi-Tornio-Haparanda-Luleå / Boden by bus. The train line has been discontinued but there are plans to re-open it in the future.

More About Sweden

Sweden is a constitutional monarchy, in which King Carl XVI Gustaf is head of state, but royal power has long been limited to official and ceremonial functions.

The nation's legislature is the Swedish Parliament (Riksdag), with 349 members. Parliamentary elections are held every four years.

Sweden enjoys a mostly temperate climate despite its northern latitude, mainly due to the Gulf Stream. In the south of Sweden leaf-bearing trees are prolific, in the north pines, spruces and hardy birches dominate the landscape. In the mountains of northern Sweden a sub-Arctic climate predominates.

North of the Arctic Circle, the sun never sets for part of each summer, and in the winter, night is unending for a corresponding period. The country is similar in size to the U.S. state of California, and has nearly the same population as the Californian city of Los Angeles.

East of Sweden lies the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia, providing a long coastline, and mellowing the climate further yet. To the west is the Scandinavian mountain chain, a range that separates Sweden from Norway.

The southern part of the country is predominantly agricultural, with forests covering a larger percentage of the land the further north one goes. Population density is also higher in southern Sweden, with centres being in the valley of lake Mälaren and the Öresund region.

Sweden is traditionally divided into 25 provinces that roughly match the 21 administrative län (counties). These provinces are grouped into three major regions of ancient origin:

Norrland is the sparsely populated, northern part of the country (about two-thirds ot the total area), with nine provinces. Lots of wilderness, with forests, lakes, big rivers, enormous marshes and high mountains along the border to Norway. Great for hiking. Largest cities are Sundsvall, Umeå and Luleå.

Svealand, in the south central part of the country, includes Stockholm, Uppsala and the province of Dalarna.

Götaland, comprising of the ten provinces in the southernmost part of the country, including the islands (and provinces) of Öland and Gotland. The largest cities in Götaland are Malmö and Gothenburg.

Gotland and Öland are the largest islands of Sweden.

In Sweden violent and antisocial behavior is severely frowned upon. Expressing racist, and especially sexist opinions is very ill-advised.

Valid for unlimited travel on the entire Spanish Rail network the Spain Rail Pass is outstanding value for money.
