From the north to the south, from the plains to the

Take the train to experience the whole of Sweden.
THE BEST WAY
TO DISCOVER
SWEDEN IS
BY TRAIN
With tracks running from Malmö
in the south to Narvik in the north
and a direct connection between
the three capitals, the train is a
comfortable and convenient way to
travel to the places in Scandinavia
that you want to explore.
It’s also a climate-smart and
sustainable choice compared
with flying or driving – and it gives
you the opportunity to experience
the beautiful and varied Swedish
landscape, with its lakes, towns and
unspoilt nature along the way.
