Chapter I · Stockholm County · 55 places
Stockholm County
A vast network of roughly 30,000 islands, islets, and skerries stretching east from Stockholm into the Baltic Sea. The outer archipelago offers stark, wave-polished granite dotted with wind-bent pines, while the inner islands host red-painted cottages and calm waterways navigable by kayak or ferry. Summer light lasts well past midnight, creating exceptional conditions for seascape photography.

Västra Götaland County
An island in the Bohuslän archipelago on Sweden's west coast, connected to the mainland and neighbouring islands by bridges. The smooth granite coastline, small fishing villages, and open-water views have attracted artists since the late 19th century; the Nordic Watercolour Museum on the island reflects this heritage. The western shores face open sea and are exposed to the Atlantic weather that gives the Bohuslän coast its dramatic character.

Chapter III · Skåne County · 21 places
Skåne County
A twisting residential skyscraper whose stacked segments rotate ninety degrees from base to top. It stands as the tallest building in Scandinavia and a landmark of the Öresund region.

Norrbotten County
A subarctic wilderness in Swedish Lapland straddling the southern shore of Lake Torneträsk, one of Sweden's largest lakes. The park sits in a climatic anomaly — a rain shadow created by surrounding mountains — giving it unusually clear skies that make it one of northern Europe's prime locations for viewing the aurora borealis. The Kungsleden long-distance trail passes through, offering access to alpine plateaus and birch woodlands.
