April - May (Spring)

The spring time brings every weather you can imagine. It can be warm or very cold. This is also the `rainy` season, and you shouldn`t be surprised to see some rain during your visit. The springtime offers an abundance of wild flowers with blossoms appearing all over after a long dark winter.

May signals the start of the summer both for the north and south of the country and is the best time to go to Sweden for outdoor lovers looking for fewer crowds. In general, spring is a great time to visit because you can enjoy fairly good weather, but avoid crowds while still experiencing almost everything except midnight sun and the Northern Lights. Also, rates for hotels and flights are still lower during this time.
