Sweden is one of the most desirable countries to live in worldwide. It is officially known as the Kingdom of Sweden and is located in northern Europe. It shares borders with Norway to the west and north, Finland to the east, and Denmark via the Öresund Strait, where the impressive Øresund Bridge tunnel bridge is located. The capital city, Stockholm, is known for its ecological views, tolerance, and innovations in various fields of life. The city has been in existence under its current name since the 13th century, but evidence of human settlements over 7,000 years old has been found. While over 87 percent of the country's 10.3 million inhabitants live in urban areas, exploring the natural beauty of Sweden's forests, rivers, and lakes is essential to truly understand the country. The history of Sweden, as well as its neighboring countries, is closely tied to the Vikings, ancient warrior-sailors who discovered the world long before other ancient civilizations.
