This book is for tourists, expats or anyone who has or would like to have a connection with Sweden. Think of it like your shortcut to the native culture. We all know the things that truly shape a nation aren’t the ones that get chapters in history books or become national holidays. Most Swedes have no idea why we celebrate June 6th as our National Day but could gladly list the ten latest Melodifestivalen (look under M) winners.
To a foreigner these things can be almost impossible to understand without a helpful native guide. In no way is this a comprehensive list of everything that has ever happened, nor is it an attempt to be. Instead, I have looked at some of the traditions and phenomena that most perplexed my American husband and his friends and I have tried to explain them in an easy-to-understand manner. I hope this book will help you gain a deeper understanding of Swedish culture and be able to travel around this beautiful country like a native, or namedrop Filip and Fredrik to your Swedish relatives. It is also very useful for Americans with Swedish heritage who wish to appear knowledgeable on their ancestry.

Includes FREE planning and background information. Sweden’s capital is the kind of place other cities love to loathe. Not only is she impossibly beautiful, but she’s also fabulous with fashion, deft with design and a music meister. And if that’s not galling enough, she’s clean, green and civil. Straddling 14 islands connected by 57 bridges, Scandinavia’s urban high achiever will keep you keen with her distinctly different neighbourhoods. The old town, Gamla Stan, is one of Europe’s most arresting historic hubs: a near-faultless concoction of richly coloured story-book buildings, regal riches and razor-thin cobblestone streets.
