Before departure, or while dreaming of a Scandinavian adventure, get your fill of inspiring travel books here.

Optimism for travel is slowly increasing. We can allow ourselves to consider turning our dreams into reality and at the same time be cautious. The way we travel might change, and careful consideration of where it is safe to go will be important when choosing a travel destination.

For UK nationals and other Europeans, Sweden presents an opportunity to explore Scandinavia sooner rather than later.

Add a jazz festival, a world sporting championship or an extreme ski flying competition for extra sparkle on your holiday.
