Sweden has countless castles (or 'slott' in Swedish) from its storied history. Seeing all of them would take ages. I have compiled a list of some of my favorite castles from across Sweden including Uppsala Castle, Kalmar Castle, Kärnan, Borgholms Castle, Gripsholm Castle, Vaxholm Fortress, Örebro Castle, Skokloster Castle, and Carlstens Fästning.

Helsingborg is the 9th largest city in Sweden, located in the South (otherwise known as Skåne). A city of barely 100,000, it is worth seeing as it boasts excellent architectural wonders like Rådhuset and Kärnan, great beaches and ports that can whisk you to Helsingør, Denmark, and wonderful manor grounds at Sofiero. The island of Ven is also a popular day trip for many of the residents here.
