Best Time To Visit
The summer season is absolutely the best time to visit Sweden. The warm, sunny months of June, July, and August is the season for outdoor activities, open-air museums, city events, and heading north to experience the Midnight Sun
The winter months in Sweden see extreme colds in the north, and plenty of cold, windy, dreary days in coastal cities like Stockholm.
The weather during the spring and fall months in Sweden is unpredictable at best. You could see the weather from any of the four seasons during spring and fall, and you always stand a good chance of experiencing some rain.
