Summer in Scandinavia is just amazing. Its so intense and everythings green. Sun never sets

Fun fact for beach-goers: As Stockholm resident I learn you had to check the wind-report on what beach to visit, because the winds decided what beach would be cold.. I mean COLD.. and what beach it was nice. As I do not live near the sea, this was fun to learn.

Welcome back❤ You need to visit Sweden from south to the north, from Ystad to Haparanda. It’s so varied environment and nature. No need to go to Germany ☺️ Hugs from Stockholm

Lovely video about my home area. I grew up in Simrishamn, south of stenshuvud national park and I cant even count how many times I have been there with family, school trips etc. I live in Ystad nowadays but always visit Stenshuvud during summer. Too bad the entire coastline was hit by a heavy storm in october last year, therefor the fallen trees on the beach. The authorites even tried to close off the beach for the public, but it has gotten back in desent shape so hopefully tourists return there this summer. Its really fun to see foreighners enjoying Sweden, especially my home area.

New sub here!😃 I live in MidSweden (Värmland/Wermland).🌞🌿 A tip to get the pronunciation of "Ystad" correctly (or as close one can get to it), is to use the Y-sound in "Cybil", in the beginning of "Y-stad"..☺️😃 Not "ee", but "ü"...kind of how germans say "hi/bye" (tschüß/tschüss)..😃😁😊 Love your channel and looking forward to browsing through the videos!🤗❤

Oh please, there's a lot of beaches in Sweden. The problem is that the weather doesn't really allow for beach life as it is cold af most of the time (from too cold to too bloody cold). My favorite beach near Stockholm, where I live, is a rather small little beach called Skarsand or Lilla sand on the island of Nåttarö. Most beaches are (of course) on the southern coasts of Sweden (including Gotland and Öland) but you can definitey find them further up north (although then they may not bee entirety natural. See Pite havsbad, for example.

Hello, thanks for commenting. Of course we didn't think that Sweden didn't have nice beaches, just that the type we visited is not the sort I think people from elsewhere would think of being there, a bit like if you've never been to Scotland, you don't really assume it has some of the bluest, most turquoise seas around. The one we saw had the look of the tropics, and as such a really nice surprise on our brief visit there. It was definitely the warm weather that made it stand out though, I agree that's probably not exactly a regular event in Sweden. Hopefully we can one day return and drive further north 😊

It"s of course cold or chilly during autumn, winter and early spring (some times even late spring), but we do usually have pretty great and often rather warm summers. This is true for the southern half of the country anyway. Around 20-30 degrees, quite ok for beach life, not as in the tropics of course. There are some long sandy beaches, Trouville at Sandhamn in the Stockholm archpelago for example. 😊

The Nordic countries (also known as the Nordics or Norden; lit. 'the North') are a geographical and cultural region in Northern Europe and the North Atlantic. It includes the sovereign states of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway[a] and Sweden; the autonomous territories of the Faroe Islands and Greenland; and the autonomous region of Åland. Scandinavia is a subregion of Northern Europe, with strong historical, cultural, and linguistic ties between its constituent peoples. Scandinavia most commonly refers to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. It can sometimes also refer to the Scandinavian Peninsula (which excludes Denmark but includes a part of northern Finland). In English usage, Scandinavia is sometimes used as a synonym for Nordic countries. Iceland and the Faroe Islands are sometimes included in Scandinavia for their ethnolinguistic relations with Sweden, Norway and Denmark. While Finland differs from other Nordic countries in this respect, some authors call it Scandinavian due to its economic and cultural similarities.[4][5]

@@comealongdear I see, in Sweden is the water mostly quite clear, We call the seas between Sweden and Finland and the Baltic countrys Eastern sea (Östersjön in Swedish) and that sea is a bit known of being bad sometimes but most of the time is it good at the coasts.

If you take a swim that time of the year you’ll notice you’re not on a tropical island… 🥶🤷🏼‍♂️🙂

How long will you be in sweden for ?

To pronouce Ystad, start by saying "Eeeestad", with a stress on the eeee-part. Look at your mouth in a mirror. When you say Eeee the corners of your mouth is wide apart, right? Continue to say "Eeeestad", but now make a really small mouth, almost like a kiss😘 , and tadaaa, now you're saying Ystad!

😂 Oh no, he makes plenty of time for eating outside of that too 🤣 To be fair, he snacks more than me but I think I still eat more than him in total most days! Probably owing to me being a lot taller maybe 🤷‍♂️

Oh I know, it's a British habit I think, because we're an island we often say "we're going to Europe" if we travel to other European countries, but I do keep trying to correct myself by saying "continent" or "mainland" instead.

Sweden wasn't that interesting then? 😊

Ah! migrants

I can't believe how wrong your pronunciation of Ystad is. English speakers really have a problem with the Swedish letter Y. You pronounced it like it was spelled Össtad. Go to google translate and listen to the pronunciation.

The Y in Kyrie could make it easier to pronounce Ystad.

Well what can we say, it's definitely not a language we've ever encountered much beyond our yearly foray into Melodifestivalen that is 😳 google translate definitely seems to be a good way though, we only recently discovered you could actually hear the pronunciation on there 🤦‍♂️

Where was that beach 🏖? Was it somewhere in Skåne? I'm actually coming to Ystad for one week vacation with my family this Monday. After that we'll go to our summer cottage that's at the Baltic Sea some miles south of Simrishamn
