A holiday in Sweden feels simple yet gives a lot. You leave the hustle and bustle behind and listen to babbling brooks as you calmly paddle the mirror-smooth lakes of Småland or Skåne. On the coast, atmospheric harbour towns like Simrishamn and Ystad beckon, where the sea air is fresh and sailboats bob gently. Fancy a little adventure? Then island hopping to Gotland or Öland is a delightful choice, with rugged coastlines, extraordinary limestone cliffs and a surprising amount of history. You'll walk past medieval buildings that still stand proud and through villages where the past is almost tangible.

A vacation with children is all about exploring, playing and making memories together. In southern Sweden you are in the right place for this. For example, take a trip to Vimmerby and dive into Astrid Lindgren's World together. Children can walk among famous stories, participate in games and see theater come to life on stage. This produces those happy faces that you secretly enjoy yourself.

Fancy nature with a bit of excitement? Then get outdoors and visit a safari park or nature reserve in the region. It remains special to see a moose, quiet and impressive, as if it is in charge of the forest. Often, going there is already an adventure: peer out the window, peer among the trees and cheer as soon as you spot something.

And if water is a favorite, Southern Sweden has plenty to offer, too. You can splash around in water parks like Kneippbyn, or just seek the simplest vacation bliss on the sandy beaches: build sandcastles, feet in the water and just sit back and do nothing. Tip for a day out: Vattenriket near Kristianstad, a special nature reserve where you can see up close how much life can be found around the water. Perfect for curious children and for you, because it is such a nice change.

Choosing southern Sweden as a vacation destination is a smart move. You get a nice mix of tranquility, fresh nature and fun things to do together. One day you'll be mountain biking or trying out a golf course, the next day you'll be strolling through Malmö or seeking the quiet in small, artisan villages. Swedish nature works as a great refresher for the whole family: being outside, breathing, together again.
