Welcome to Sweden, a fascinating country located in the heart of Scandinavia.
With an area of approximately 450,000 km2, Sweden is the third largest country of the European Union, but remains sparsely populated: the country has around 10 million inhabitants, which is a population density more than five times lower than in France.

In summer, in the northern regions, the sun shines almost continuously, offering the opportunity to observe the midnight sun. In winter, the long nights are ideal for observing the spectacular northern lights.
The official language is Swedish, but the vast majority of Swedes also speak English, which makes communication easier for foreign visitors (future immigrants, rest assured, a smooth transition is guaranteed!).
The Swedish culture is rich and diverse, blending ancient traditions with modernity. The local cuisine is renowned for its fish and seafood-based dishes, as well as its delicious pastries, including the kanelbullar (cinnamon rolls), which are world-renowned.
Moreover, Sweden has excelled in the fields of arts, sciences, and economics, positioning itself as one of the welfare states most advanced in the world.
