Sweden: which destination suits you?
Not every place suits every trip. Here is how the destinations differ, with the hotels we list in each and the guides that narrow the choice further.
Cities3
Gothenburg
4 hotelsSeafood, a friendly scale and the west-coast islands within reach by tram and ferry. Good for a weekend; the luxury choice is a few hotels, not a scene.
Malmö
4 hotelsA compact, modern city with Copenhagen twenty minutes across the bridge. Useful as a quieter, cheaper base for both cities; not a destination for a full holiday.
