About the country

Sweden is located in northern Europe. Sweden is one of the Scandinavian countries which also include Denmark and Norway. The population of Sweden is estimated at around 10 million people. The official language of the country is Swedish.

Stockholm is the capital of the country which is also the largest city of Sweden. Sweden has many customs and traditions which are apparent in everyday life of the Swedes. Summers are celebrated with several festivals which mark the end of long, harsh and cold winters.

Swedes are humble in nature and are generally friendly people. Sweden offers a good quality of life where healthcare is free for the public. However, for expats planning to move to the country, job opportunities are scarce. This does not mean that finding a job in Sweden is impossible. There are many English-speaking jobs available in the country. Similarly, accommodation is another problem that expats face in Sweden especially in major cities. On the other hand, in smaller cities, you can find better accommodation in terms of cost.

Major airports and seaports

Sweden faces the Gulf of Bothnia and Baltic Sea towards the south and east. There are many ports located on the coastal areas of Sweden which allow import and exports to the country. These include Port of Arnas, Victoria Harbor, Port of Vanersborg, Harnosand Harbor and others. However Port of Gothenburg is the largest port of Sweden.

There are also many airports in the country which include Stockholm Arlanda Airport, Goteborg Landvetter Airport and others.
