Sweden

Sweden
Sweden is a great country for leisure travel. We strongly recommend visiting her to verify this on your own. Various travel ideas in Sweden will help you to make the trip, which we can create for you. In terms of the level and quality of life, Sweden is one of the first places in the world. However, an ordinary Swede pays for a good life in full - he gives up to 40 percent of his monthly income to the general treasury. And it absolutely suits him. Sweden is a country of high scientific achievements. Here energy-saving technologies are used, science is seriously developing. Every year in Stockholm, the Nobel Prize is awarded for indisputable scientific and literary achievements (the prize for the controversial - in the field of peace building - is awarded in neighboring Norway). 
One Swedish cuisine is worth something: here you can taste pickled herring, meat with jam, salty soup with a bit of sugar and sweet tortillas. Long-lasting fun is no stranger to the Swedes - for example, a crayfish festival lasting a whole week! The time of idleness and gluttony in Sweden is not a sin, but a small compensation for the fact that the Swedes know how and love to work.
Stretching for many hundreds of kilometers from north to south, Sweden has several climatic zones. Its weather is significantly affected by the Gulf Stream, which provides fairly moderate temperature values ​​even in winter, despite the proximity of the Arctic Circle. In January, 20-degree frosts occur in the north of the country, while in the south mercury columns fall below zero during the daytime. At the height of summer in Stockholm it is very warm and meteorologists are happy to record + 25 ° C and above. In the north, even + 10 ° C is considered for happiness.
Another feature of the climate of Sweden is a small number of sunny hours, especially in the autumn-winter period. But this circumstance is more than compensated for by the excellent technical equipment of the local ski resorts, which usually feature night-time lighting of the tracks. The season on the slopes starts in November and lasts until mid-April. Southern Sweden is a small fairy-tale country, a great vacation spot for those who do not have time for a long journey, but I want to see everything at once. Picturesque lakes and forests, fertile fields and small medieval towns. There are more than 200 castles and manors here, and each of them has its own secrets and amazing stories.
A variety of outdoor activities, sandy beaches for swimming, fresh lakes and rivers for fishing, green forests and fresh sea air. Here, clean countryside is adjacent to modern urban centers. Southern Sweden consists of several areas: Skåne, Halland, Smoland and Blekinge. And also in the southern part of Sweden are amazing islands that are no less interesting to visit, for example: the island of Gotland and Oland.

13 REASONS TO GO TO SCOTLAND

Scotland is a paradise for those who want to test their strength. A seemingly innocuous hill can easily turn out to be an impregnable summit, a summer walk to become an Arctic expedition, and crossing a tiny river turn into an unexpected rafting. But stunningly beautiful views, traces of ancient history at every turn, and a sexy Scottish accent redeem everything. 1. Sunbathe on the most secluded beach in Europe . "Azure Sea", "white sand" and other Caribbean-Maldivian stamps are difficult to apply to Scotland. Unless, of course, we are not talking about the beaches of Harris Island. To get to them is not easy - by plane from Glasgow or Inverness or by ferry to Stornoway, and then another hour and a half by car along serpentines and landscapes resembling the moon. But then your only neighbors will be wild ponies and dolphins. 2. Spend the night in a lunatic asylum The Scots are famous for their eccentricity and lightweight "gravest" humor - n...

Switzerland

Switzerland is a destination for lovers of impeccability in everything. The best ski resorts of the Alps, impeccable service in high-class hotels and an excellent "excursion" in ancient cities and castles. Someone Switzerland may seem boring, someone - too expensive, but someone will find there the most charming castles in the world, and the other - the best routes of the Alps. And everyone will be right in their own way. So it is not surprising that the ski resorts in Switzerland are divided into two categories: for billionaires and millionaires. Let this be a clear exaggeration, but there is a bit of truth in it: the prestige factor is the main tourist trump card implying tangible financial costs. However, the direction has a lot of other advantages: licked tracks for every taste, the best mountain hotels in the world and a whole mass of historical sights, mostly castles. Of the minuses, it is possible to distinguish all the same high cost ... however, as you k...

All Lithuanians know a legend about establishment of Vilnius city. It was the beginning of 14th century when Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas stopped for an overnight near confluence of Neris and Vilnele rivers. That night he dreamt an iron wolf howling on a hill. In the morning his soothsayer Lizdeika explained his dream as a sign for him to build here a city as it will become a well known and widely resounded in all over the World. Gediminas ordered to pour a mound at the same place he slept. On the hill there a castle was built, the predecessor for the nowadays Gediminas castle.
