| Sweden Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Swedish Post Box Swedish Post Box Nuno Reis Being the largest of the Scandinavian countries, Sweden offers you many opportunities for cultural and outdoor activities. Visit the cities and explore the country's glorious past or the life in a cosmopolitan and modern society. If you need rest from the hectic city life, just leave for the countryside, and vast forests, 90000 lakes, mountains and the beautiful sea await you. Though on the outskirts of Europe, Sweden was never a culturally outpost. The reigning royalty often invited foreign artists to their courts and also stimulated the development of local artists. Furthermore the Swedish developed their own traditions in design, painting and architecture. Gothenburg City hall was a widely followed example of traditionalistic architecture. The four greatest cities Stockholm, Norrköping/Linköping Twin Cities, Gothenburg, and Malmö display varied characteristics. The capital Stockholm is beautiful, hi-tech oriented and full of history. This presentday capital is surrounded by its predeccesors Uppsala , Birka , Nyköping and Sigtuna . Famous is the trip by steaming-boat across the Göta Kanal (the Blue Ribbon of Sweden) that connects Gothenburg with Stockholm. The Göta Kanal carries both private boats and cruises through the central plains and valleys of Sweden known for its medieval history as well as its modern history of aviation and electronics. The City of Linköping is home to SAAB Aerospace and boasts the origins of the mainframe computer. Its University of over 28,000 students is best known for computer engineering, modelling and simulation technologies. Together with its neighbor Norrköping, these two cities make up Sweden's fourth largest city region of over 250,000 inhabitants. In the south the more industrial Gothenburg at the western "front side" of Sweden is the industrial heart of the country. The city is dominated by the large international port. Malmö in the south is cosier and has a more common touch. This city is an easy daytrip from Copenhagen in Denmark. Sweden's great and vastly unspoiled nature is very diverse and offers you new and unexpected beautiful views every time you visit it again. The south has warm and sandy beaches, an open rural landscape with beautiful manors and patches of woods. In the central part, the coast is dominated by thousands of small islands, the skerries, consisting of more or less bare rocks carved and polished by the latest glaciation. The landscape becomes more and more dominated by the woods, spotted with many lakes and smaller agricultural areas. The further to the north you move, the more the woods take over. Skerries give you the impression of travelling through a chain of lakes all the way to the Finnish border, as you move along the coast. The rivers become greater, the forests darker, the people fewer in the north. Close to the Norwegian border, the mountains get higher and rougher. Lappland in the northwest, north of the polar circle, lets you experience the emptiness of polar tundra in alpine environment. Sweden became rich and powerful thanks to its great natural resources, the iron ore mines in the far north and in the central part, the forestry-based industry and cheap electricity from water power. Today, the country is in the frontline of IT development and infrastructure. ____________History Edit This The 17th century saw Sweden as an European "Great Power" and one of the major military and political combatants on the continent during the Thirty Years' War. By mid-century, the kingdom included part of Norway, all of Finland and stretched into Russia. Sweden's control of portions of modern Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Germany made the Baltic Sea essentially a Swedish lake. In the 16th century Gustav Vasa fought for an independent Sweden and crushed an attempt to restore the Kalmar Union and laid the foundation for modern Sweden. At the same time he broke with the Catholic Church and established the Reformation. During the 17th century after winning wars against Denmark Russia and Poland Sweden-Finland (with scarcely more than 1 million inhabitants) emerged as a great power. Its contributions during the Thirty Years War under Gustav II Adolf (Gustavus Adolphus) determined the political as well as the religious balance of power in Europe. By 1658 Sweden ruled several provinces of Denmark as well as what is now Finland Ingermanland (in which St. Petersburg is located) Estonia Latvia and important coastal towns and other areas of northern Germany. Russia Saxony-Poland and Denmark-Norway pooled their power in 1700 and attacked the Swedish-Finnish empire. Although the young Swedish King Karl XII (also known as Charles XII) won spectacular victories in the early years of the Great Northern War his plan to attack Moscow and force Russia into peace proved too ambitious; he fell in battle in 1718. In the subsequent peace treaties the allied powers joined by Prussia and England-Hanover ended Sweden's reign as a great power. Sweden suffered further territorial losses during the Napoleonic wars and was forced to cede Finland to Russia in 1809. The next year the Swedish King's adopted heir French Marshal Bernadotte was elected Crown Prince as Karl Johan by the Riksdag. In 1813 his forces joined the allies against Napoleon. The Congress of Vienna compensated Sweden for its lost German territory through a merger of the Swedish and Norwegian crowns in a dual monarchy which lasted until 1905 when it was peacefully dissolved at Norway's request. Sweden's predominantly agricultural economy shifted gradually from village to private farm-based agriculture during the Industrial Revolution but this change failed to bring economic and social improvements commensurate with the rate of population growth. About 1 million Swedes emigrated to the United States between 1850 and 1890. The 19th century was marked by the emergence of a liberal opposition press abolition of guild monopolies in trade and manufacturing in favor of free enterprise taxation and voting reforms the installation of a national military service and the rise in the electorate of three major party groups--Social Democratic Liberal and Conservative. During and after World War I in which Sweden remained neutral the country benefited from the worldwide demand for Swedish steel ball bearings wood pulp and matches. Postwar prosperity provided the foundations for the social welfare policies characteristic of modern Sweden. Foreign policy concerns in the 1930s centered on Soviet and German expansionism which stimulated abortive efforts at Nordic defense cooperation. Sweden followed a policy of armed neutrality during World War II and currently remains non-aligned. ____________Practical Information Edit This Whether you want to learn Swedish, find a job in English while you learn Swedish, find somewhere to live, or just some like minded friends to share your experiences with; our aim is to provide a solid platform with which you can find all the help you need to make it in Sweden.

Car rentals is available and almost every petrol station have cars to rent and at airports.If you plan to go from city to city the cheapest way is the coach system. Most big cities have a bus station where you can get information on departures. Swebus Express is the biggest company with connections to most cities and guarantee you a seat. Smaller companies are often cheaper but require you to book. Going by train is quite expensive, but you can find lower fares at some departures. If you are under 26 you can get a cheap last minute train ticket online or at the station. Flying are getting cheaper but most flights go through Stockholm. SAS offers very cheap stand-by tickets for if you are under 26. New airlines are starting all the time so look around for your options. Hitch hiking is not very common but is relatively safe. An international student id card can give you plenty of discounts however some places require a Swedish one. _________Economy Edit This Economy Sweden Aided by peace and neutrality for the whole 20th century, Sweden has achieved an enviable standard of living under a mixed system of high-tech capitalism and extensive welfare benefits. It has a modern distribution system, excellent internal and external communications, and a skilled labor force. Timber, hydropower, and iron ore constitute the resource base of an economy heavily oriented toward foreign trade. Privately owned firms account for about 90% of industrial output, of which the engineering sector accounts for 50 % of output and exports. Agriculture accounts for only 2% of GDP and 2% of the jobs. The government's commitment to fiscal discipline resulted in a substantial budgetary surplus in 2001, which was cut by more than half in 2002, due to the global economic slowdown, revenue declines, and spending increases. The Swedish central bank (the Riksbank) is focusing on price stability with its inflation target of 2%. Growth remained sluggish in 2003. On September 14, 2003, Swedish voters turned down entry into the euro system, concerned about the impact on democracy and sovereignty. GDP: purchasing power parity - $230.7 billion (2002 est.)

These villages are built and organised in a particular Swedish tradition. All buildings in the village belonged to the owner of the iron works, including the houses where the workers lived. Schools, a church, shops etc. were all provided by the proprietor, as well as health service and pension – for those who had behaved well. Today the villages are still there but the industry is gone and the industrial buildings are ruins. Engelsberg is the only exception to this. Most of the buildings have been kept intact together with machinery and euqipment. There is the smelting house, which is log-insulated, as well as the hammer forge. Farmers in the surroundings provided charcoal which was weighed in the also preserved weighing house. The blast furnace and the forge are considered unique.

Mining continued up to the end of the 20th century. The only remaining activity today is the production of a copperholding paint from the waiste products of the coppermine. This paint has since long been used to paint most rural buildings in Sweden red. The main activity today in the mining area is tourism. Actually it has been an internationally wellknown tourist attraction for more than 300 years. It is possible to reach 600 m below ground. Tourists cannot go that far down but are taken on long walks through the moist and cool tunnels. There are also buildings and various remnants above ground. The town Falun was created in relation to the mining. The present masterplan for the town is from 1646 and many of the 17th century wooden buildings are still preserved, although other parts of the town were destroyed by fire in 1761.

It is situated on the west coast of Sweden at the mouth of the river Göta Älv. The city was founded in 1621 by the king Gustav II Adolf, but was developed largely by city planners and canal experts from the Netherlands and Germany. This explains the Amsterdam-style canal around the city centre. To this day the city owes much to the influence of people from abroad. Tourists and other visitors return year after year - the Göteborg region is one of the most popular tourist areas in Scandinavia. The amusement park Liseberg, the largest of its kind in Scandinavia, is situated in the centre of the city. It has entertained millions of people since 1923. Here you can ride roller coasters or see popular artists perform. The street Avenyn has the highest density of restaurants in Sweden, and the terrace cafés, nightclubs and bars are vibrant with life. This is the place to stroll at your leisure, to see and be seen, whether you’re a local or a tourist. One of the many reasons to visit Göteborg is definitely the food. Göteborg is known for its fine, locally produced ingredients and top-notch restaurant life. The Botanical garden is situated within walking distance of Slottsskogen. It is one of the biggest in Europe. Here you can enjoy 13,000 different species of plants, stroll around in the Wood Anemone Valley gully, or stop for a coffee in the cosy café. Come, relax and enjoy the diversity of the gardens. The Gothenburg Botanical Garden has been named The Most Beautiful Garden in Sweden and the third most beautiful in the World! The city is often likened to San Francisco because, like the American city, this west-coast location has plenty of bridges, hills, water, trams and seafood restaurants. Göteborg has a long trade and industrial tradition. Many of Sweden's most famous companies have their roots in Göteborg. Some of these companies are Volvo, SKF and ESAB. The Port of Göteborg is the largest in Scandinavia. Even though the port has largely moved from the centre of the city, it still plays an important role in the city's life and atmosphere.

It is built up of sedimentary, calcareous rocks and therefore has a rich flora, including many species of orchids. In ancient times it had a central position on important sea routes and it was an important economic centre during the Viking and Hanseatic times. On the other hand it had an isolated position in relation to political centres and therefore had a semi-autonomous political position during medieval times. There are many big churches with impressing sculptures and paintings from early medieval times, but decline started when the Danish king conquered Gotland and looted Visby in 1361. The calcareous bedrock has created caves and other spectacular formations. Many hand-mown meadows, remnants from the old cultural landscape, are preserved with a rich and colourful flora. The spectacular landscape on Fårö, an island separated from the main island to the north, can be admired in some of Ingmar Bergman’s films. Bergman spent his later years on this island. Gotska Sandön is found about 40 km north of Gotland . Old farmhouses built from stone can still be seen, completely different from houses in other parts of Sweden . :::::::::::Gotska Sandön Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Gotska Sandön is a very isolated island in the middle of the Baltic Sea, 38 km N of Gotland. It consists entirely of sand, which is about 70 m deep. It is 9 by 6 km in size and the sand is constantly shaping and re-shaping its surface. The highest sand dune reaches 43 m a.s.l. The whole island is a national park. Most of the island is covered by a uniform and rather monotonous pine forest but at a few more favourable places there are deciduous forest groves with a much richer flora, including some orchids. The battle between the forest and the moving sand has created dead forests at some places. However, the nature protection of today and complete lack of grazing animals has had the consequence that sand dunes are stabilizing to an extent that is considered problematic by conservation authorities. People visited the island already during the Stone Age but there has probably never been much of a permanent population. It was mainly fishermen and hunters who temporarily stayed there. It came under Swedish rule at the peace agreement between Denmark and Sweden in Brömsebro 1645. Gotska Sandön was considered dangerous among sailors until the first lighthouse was erected in 1858-9. Innumerous ships have stranded there. The island can harbour a limited number of visitors and tourism is strictly regulated. Overnight stay is possible in small cottages and in tents. ::::::::Grebbestad Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Grebbestad is a village with 1300 inhabitants on the northern part of the Swedish west coast.

The Halmstad we see today came into being at the beginning of the 14th century on the outlet of the river Nissan. There was a great fire in Halmstad in the 17th century. All that remained after the fire were the newly erected castle and the 15th century church, which is thus the oldest building in the town. A stroll around the town will show you many fine 17th and 18th century buildings. One of the old ramparts still exists: Norre Port. There are now about 78 000 inhabitants in Halmstad. The town is actively engaged in shipping and is a large commercial and industrial centre. Halmstad is also a university town and a sports centre.

Partially thanks to the town’s great benefactor, Henry Dunker, there are plenty of opportunities to take part in cultural activities. A theater, an internationally acclaimed Symphonhy Orchestera and a brand new cultural centre. Located by the sea the town strecthes out along the coast and has historically been the gateway to Denmark and the rest of Europe since it is only 4 km of water between Helsingborg and its Danish sister city Helsingør.

Helsingborg is known for the Kärnan Tower, the remainder of a medieval fortress. It is also known for the Sofiero Castle, with its rhododendron gardens, and the Fredriksdal outdoor museum. During the summer there are daily boat connections from the Råå part of Helsingborg to the little and culturally rich island of Ven. ::::::Hjo Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see The "wooden town", as it is sometimes called, is certainly one of the finest environments ever created in Sweden. Today only a few still exist and Hjo is one of them. Hjo, also spelled as Hyo or Hioo throughout history, was founded in the 14th century. The town's numerous historical and cultural wooden houses and narrow alleys give the town its special character today. Fortunately, Hjo was never subjected to any major fires or other destruction. However, its medieval church burnt down in 1794, together with a number of surrounding buildings. Apart from that, the town has been spared from extensive fires and most of the medieval streets and blocks are largely intact. In fact, the oldest maps from 1696 look very similar to the modern ones. Visiting Hjo, and walking in its narrow alleyways, is like taking a trip back in time, and yet, the town offers everything a European citizen expects from a modern community. Hjo expanded rather quickly during the latter half of the 19th century, which has given the town its special character. The harbour, railway and the spa are typical examples from that time. :::::::::Jönköping Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Jönköping is a city in south-central Sweden.

Together with Trollhättan the area is known as "Tvåstad" ("Two Cities"). The city centre has maintained the atmosphere of a small town by embracing the old houses. This is something that is not so common in Sweden. Vänersborg was also the home of the poet Birger Sjöberg who coined the name "Little Paris" for the city. Before the creation of the "West Götaland Region" Vänersborg was the administrative hub for Älvsborg county. ____________Practical Information Edit This Below is some practical info Contributors June 04, 2006 new by ewolf (1 point) [Add Practical address] Turistbyrån Edit This Railway station / tourist office Railway station / tourist office photo by: ewolf Unfortunately Swedish only, as it seems.

It is situated along the eastern side of middle Sweden, at the Bothnian Sea. What makes this area unique is the so called isostatic land uplift. During the Ice age the land was pressed down under the heavy weight of the ice. After the ice had melted the land started to raise again, something that is still going on, although at a decreasing rate. This is taking place all over Sweden but the maximum extent of the uplift is found at the High Coast. Actually, all land up to 285 m above the present sea level was once under water. What has risen from the sea is a very scenic landscape with a rugged topography. Lush cultural land in the valleys alternate with barren mountains and pine forests. There is little soil on the hills, which is easy to understand when considering that the same hills were once naked skerries in the sea. On some of these hills not even pines can grow, but some of them reach above the line above which the sea never reached. Such hills have a funny-looking “cap” of dense forest on top. Tourist information and hotels can be found in towns and major villages. There are also Bed & Breakfast, Youth Hostels and camping sites. The area can be seen be car or by foot along prepared trails. ___________ Destination High Coast Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Skuleberget Skuleberget Agne Säterberg Destination High Coast mediate experiences in prehistoric and present times in the High Coast world heritage area through nature experiences, accomodation, conferences and activities, for both private persons and groups.

It has been a town and a market place at least since the 13th century. This was originally based on its strategic position at the crossroads between the east-west water route on the big lakes (Mälaren and Hjälmaren and further towards Vänern) and the north-south land route on a major esker. A medieval fortress on an island in the river Svartån traversing the town was transformed into a major castle in the 16th century. It is still a landmark in the city centre. During much of the 19th and 20th centuries Örebro was well-known for its many shoe factories. These are all gone today and Örebro is now a university town. Most of the old buildings were removed in the 1950s and 1960s and replaced by modern blocks, but a few of the old houses were re-erected in an area named Wadköping after a well-known Swedish novel by Hjalmar Bergman. Water-towers mimicking a mushroom are today spread over the world, but the very first one was built in Örebro in 1958. (There is an exact copy in Riyadh , Saudi-Arabia.) The marshes around the outlet of the river Svartån into the lake Hjälmaren are a famous bird area, lately developed into a major tourist attraction. ::::::::Öresund Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see The Öresund Region is the area around the strait of Öresund (Engl. the Sound), including the city of Copenhagen and the town of Helsingor on the Danish side and the towns of Malmö and Helsingborg, on the Swedish side.

Trains run every half an hour and circle the whole region in both directions. ::::::::Östersund Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see view over the lake view over the lake Jan Wieringa The city of Östersund has about 60000 citizens and is the capital of the county Jämtland. The city spreads from the eastern shore of Lake Storsjön to the island of Frösön. The city is among the most beautiful in Sweden with its lakeside location, mountain view and rich nature. The winters are long and cold which makes the surroundings perfect for winter activities like skiing, snowboarding and ice skating. Nearby Åre is Scandinavias premier ski resort. Summertime Östersund benefits from long summer nights with daylight up to 22 hours a day. The highlight of this season is the Storsjöyran (Great Lake Dizzy) festival in the end of July, which attracts people from all over northern Europe. The city's main attraction is Jamtli History Museum where visitors get the opportunity to take part in Swedish 18th and 19th century life.

Il Regno di Svezia (in svedese: Konungariket Sverige) è uno stato (capitale Stoccolma, 449.964 km², 9.047.752 abitanti dato al 31 dicembre 2005) che si trova nell'Europa del Nord dove occupa la parte orientale della penisola scandinava. Confina con la Norvegia ad ovest e con la Finlandia a nord-est; per il resto i confini del paese sono bagnati dal Mar Baltico e dal Golfo di Botnia ad est e dagli stretti dello Skagerrak e del Kattegat a sud-ovest. La Svezia è una monarchia costituzionale, l'attuale sovrano è Carlo XVI Gustavo, il primo ministro è Göran Persson. La lingua ufficiale è lo svedese. Fino al XIX secolo la Svezia era uno dei paesi più poveri d'Europa. In seguito, lo sviluppo dei trasporti permise un intenso sfruttamento delle sue risorse naturali (legname e ferro), fattore che portò ad un vigoroso sviluppo. Nei primi decenni del XX secolo furono caratterizzati dall'affemarsi del welfare state che, ancora oggi, rimane uno dei più efficienti al mondo. La Svezia attuale si distingue per l'alto livello di vita dei suoi abitanti (è saldamente ai primi posti nelle classifiche dell'ONU sullo sviluppo umano), per la loro mentalità progressista ed il grande rilievo che attribuiscono all'uguaglianza.
[modifica]
Storia
Esistono prove sufficienti a sostenere che l'area comprendente l'attuale Svezia fu colonizzata durante l'età della pietra, quando i ghiacciai dell'ultima era glaciale si ritirarono. Si crede che i primi abitanti fossero cacciatori e raccoglitori, che vivevano principalmente di quello che il mare offriva loro. Alcuni indizi avvallano l'ipotesi che la Svezia meridionale fosse densamente popolata durante l'età del bronzo, in quanto sono stati rinvenuti i resti di alcune grosse comunità commerciali. Durante il IX e X secolo, fiorì in Svezia la cultura vichinga, con commerci, incursioni e colonizzazioni che si estendevano principalmente verso est in direzione degli Stati Baltici, della Russia e del Mar Nero. Nel 1389, le tre nazioni di Norvegia, Danimarca e Svezia erano unite sotto un unico monarca. L'Unione di Kalmar ebbe carattere personale e non politico, e durante il XV secolo, la Svezia resistette ai tentativi di centralizzare il governo sotto il re danese, fino al punto di giungere alla ribellione armata. La Svezia successivamente si separò nel 1523, quando Gustav Eriksson Vasa, più tardi conosciuto come Gustavo I di Svezia ristabilì la separazione della Corona Svedese dall'Unione. Il XVII secolo vide la Svezia emergere come una delle grandi potenze europee, a causa della sua vittoriosa partecipazione, iniziata dal re Gustavo Adolfo, nella Guerra dei Trent'Anni. Questa posizione sarebbe crollata nel XVIII secolo quando la Russia prese le redini del nord Europa durante la Grande Guerra del Nord. Decisiva fu la Battaglia di Poltava, nell'Ucraina centrale, combattuta nel luglio 1709, nella quale l'esercito svedese, comandato dal Feldmaresciallo Rehnskiöld e dal re Carlo XII, costretto su una barella da una ferita, venne pesantemente sconfitto dall'esercito russo di Pietro il Grande. Cent'anni dopo, nel 1809, inoltre, la Russia divise la metà orientale della Svezia, creando la Finlandia come un granducato Russo. La storia recente della Svezia è stata pacifica, l'ultima guerra è stata la campagna contro la Norvegia nel 1814 che stabilì una unione dei due paesi dominata dalla Svezia. L'unione venne dissolta pacificamente nel 1905. La Svezia rimase neutrale durante la Prima e la Seconda Guerra Mondiale (con l'eccezione della Guerra d'inverno).

Geografia
[modifica]
Geografia fisica
Una piccola casa svedese sulla campagna Il terreno è prevalentemente montuoso verso ovest dove si trovano i monti scandinavi che separano il paese dalla Norvegia, i rilievi superano i 2000 m, in questa zona si trovano le due cime più elevate del paese, il monte Kebnekaise (2.117 m) e il Saretjakko (2.090 m). Ai piedi della zona montuosa si trovano numerosi laghi e un vasto altopiano, in prossimità della costa vi sono pianure alluvionali. La parte centrale del paese è prevalentemente pianeggiante con colline dolci, in questa zona si trovano molti laghi, i maggiori sono il Vänern, il Vättern e il Mälaren. La parte meridionale del paese è pianeggiante con ondulazioni lievi ed è l'area maggiormente coltivata. Le isole principali della Svezia sono Gotland e Öland entrambe si trovano nel mar Baltico. Il clima della Svezia è influenzato dal Mar Baltico e dalla corrente nord-atlantica che scorre nell'oceano Atlantico, nella parte meridionale e sulle coste ciò provoca un'anomalia termica positiva, le temperature medie sono infatti più elevate che in altre aree situate alla medesima latitudine.
[modifica]
Geografia umanaIl primo censimento si tenne nel 1749 e registrò una popolazione di circa 1.800.000 abitanti. Nel secolo seguente vi fu una forte ondata di emigrazione diretta negli Stati Uniti, circa 1.300.000 persone emigrarono dirette soprattutto nella regione dei Grandi Laghi. A contrastare ciò vi fu un elevato tasso di natalità e, nel '900 un saldo immigratorio positivo costituito soprattutto da persone proveniente dai vicini paesi baltici.
[modifica]
PopolazioneLa densità della popolazione è molto diversa a seconda delle zone, vi sono tutt'ora in corso spostamenti di popolazione dalle zone settentrionali verso la parte meridionale del paese e verso le aree metropolitane.
[modifica]
EtnieOltre alla popolazione sami (circa 8.500 individui), vi sono minoranze provenienti dai paesi confinanti e dai paesi della ex-Yugoslavia, Grecia e Turchia..
[modifica]
ReligioneLa legge che sancisce la libertà di culto risale al 1951, dal 1593 fino al 2000 la chiesa di stato è stata quella evangelico luterana alla quale, ancora oggi, aderisce la maggioranza della popolazione (70%). Vi sono minoranze di cattolici (9%), di protestanti non evagelici quali battisti, pentecostali ecc.(2%) e una crescente minoranza musulmana (3%) dovuta ai flussi di immigrazione. Un 15%, infine, si dichiara ateo.
[modifica]
Geografia politica
[modifica]
Suddivisioni amministrative
La Svezia è divisa in 21 contee o län. In ogni contea c'è un Consiglio Amministrativo Regionale o länsstyrelse che viene nominato dal governo. In ogni contea c'è anche un Consiglio Regionale separato (landsting), che è una rappresentanza municipale nominata dall'elettorato della contea. Ogni contea si divide ulteriormente in comuni (kommuner), per un totale di 289 nel 2002.
Esistono inoltre antiche divisioni storiche del Reame di Svezia in 25 province e 3 terre.
[modifica]
Città principali
(Dati del 31 dicembre 2005) A causa del numero relativamente basso di abitanti, la Svezia ha ovunque una bassa densità di popolazione, tranne che nelle principali aree metropolitane. Per il resto, il paese è caratterizzato da ampie foreste e da montagne selvagge.
[modifica]
Politica energeticaLa Svezia consuma circa 600 TWh all'anno. Dopo la crisi del petrolio nel 1973, la politica energetica si diresse in modo tale da essere meno dipendente dall'importazione del petrolio 77% della produzione di energia. Da allora, l'energia principale diventò idroelettrica o nucleare. Dopo gli incidenti alla centrale nucleare nella Three Mile Island, il parlamento svedese nel 1980, a seguito di un referendum, stabilì che non si dovessero creare altre centrali sul territorio e che entro il 2010 si sarebbe provveduto all'abbandono dell'energia nucleare. Nel 2005, l'uso di energie rinnovabili ammontavano al 26% dell'intera riserva energetica nazionale, derivante in particolare dall'energia idroelettrica e dalla biomassa e l'energia derivante dal petrolio ammontava al 32%. Nel 2003 l'elettricità ricavata dalle centrali idroelettriche era pari a 53 TWh) e dall'uso di biocarburante, torba, ecc. a 13 TWh. Nel Marzo 2005, un sondaggio a campione di 1027 persone mostrò che l'83% degli intervistati erano a favore dell'energia nucleare, sebbene i dossier negativi pubblicati su alcuni depositi di rifiuti nucleari in Forsmark suggerissero la loro chiusura. In Svezia c'è la proposta di rendere il paese indipendente dal petrolio nel giro di 15 anni (entro il 2020).[1] Questa politica renderebbe la Svezia uno dei paesi europei più lungimiranti nelle politiche energetiche.
[modifica]
EconomiaAiutata da pace e neutralità per tutto il XX secolo, la Svezia ha raggiunto un invidiabile standard di vita tramite un sistema misto di capitalismo e benefici dello stato sociale. Ha un moderno sistema di distribuzione, eccellenti comunicazioni interne ed esterne, e una forza lavoro qualificata. Legname, energia idroelettrica, e minerali ferrosi costituiscono le risorse di base di un economia pesantemente orientata verso il commercio con l'estero. L'industria privata è responsabile di circa il 90% della produzione industriale, nella quale il settore dell'ingegneria rappresenta il 50% della produzione e delle esportazioni. L'agricoltura rappresenta solo il 2% del Prodotto Interno Lordo e il 2% dei posti di lavoro. L'impegno del governo nella disciplina fiscale ha prodotto un sostanzioso surplus di bilancio nel 2001, che è stato più che dimezzato nel 2002, a causa del rallentamento globale dell'economia, del declino delle entrate e dell'incremento delle spese. La Banca Nazionale Svedese (Riksbank) è concentrata sulla stabilità dei prezzi con un obiettivo di inflazione al 2%. La crescita dovrebbe raggiungere il 2,3% nel 2003, presupponendo una moderata ripresa economica. Il sistema delle comunicazioni e dei trasporti svedesi è una componente importante dell'infrastruttura.

Arte
[modifica]
ArchitetturaUn alto livello di ambizione nei secoli ha portato la Svezia ad avere uno standard unico per gli edifici di tutto il paese. Il funzionalismo è un filo conduttore che ispira molti architetti. A Göteborg troviamo numerosi edifici interessanti, moderni e storici, che meritano di essere visti. GöteborgsOperan, completata nel 1994, è uno degli edifici più moderni di Göteborg e merita di essere visitata. Feskekôrka, del 1874, è un esperimento del militare Victor von Gegerfelt, uno dei due architetti principali a metà del XIX secolo. Universeum, centro nazionale della scienza di Svezia a Korsvägen, è stato inaugurato da re Carl XVI Gustaf l’8 giugno 2001. Questo affascinante edificio è stato disegnato da Gert Wingårdh. Legno, vetro e cemento sono i tre materiali dominanti. L’architettura lungo Kungsportsavenyn & Hamngatorna è un potpourri di stili dal XVII secolo ai giorni nostri. Grandi magazzini moderni, palazzi patrizi del XIX secolo, edifici del XVIII secolo come l’Ostindiska Huset, disegnata dal famoso architetto BW Carlberg. In fondo alla Södra Hamngatan troviamo la Residenset, costruita nel 1650, che è la più vecchia costruzione abitata di Göteborg. L’edificio più vecchio di Göteborg è la maestosa Kronhuset in mattone rosso, realizzata tra il 1643-55 in rigido stile olandese con frontoni e tetto a falde molto inclinate. Grazie alla costruzione sospesa, la sala a piano terra è stata realizzata senza pilastri. L’edificio era un deposito militare, utilizzato poi come sala del parlamento quando Karl X Gustav convocò il governo nel 1600. Gustav Adolfs torg, già nota come Stora Torget, è il centro amministrativo della città con il municipio, il palazzo del comune, la borsa e la statua del fondatore della città Gustav II Adolf. GötheborgsUtkiken Un edificio completato nel 1989 e disegnato da Ralph Erskine e Heikki Särg. L’edificio, che ci ricorda un rossetto nelle forme e nei colori, è un ottimo punto di osservazione e una piacevole pennellata di colore all’ingresso del porto di Göteborg. Älvsborgsbron, il “Golden Gate” di Göteborg che unisce il centro cittadino Hisingen, la quarta isola della Svezia. Il ponte è stato inaugurato nel 1966, è lungo ben 900 m con un’altezza libera di 45 metri. A Götaplatsen troviamo tre belle costruzioni raggruppate, Konserthuset, Stadsteatern e Göteborgs Konstmuseum. Konserthuset è stato progettato da Nils Einar Eriksson e inaugurato il 4 ottobre 1935. La grande sala del Konserthuset divenne immediatamente famosa quale una delle migliori del mondo per la sua straordinaria acustica. Göteborgs Konstmuseum fu inaugurato nel 1923 ed è un magnifico edificio progettato da Sigfrid Ericson. La costruzione si erige con le sue fantastiche scalinate alle spalle del Poseidon a Götaplatsen. Il teatro Stadsteatern, disegnato da Karl Bergsten, fu inaugurato nel 1934, e completamente restaurato nel 2002. L’edificio è famoso per la sua architettura anni 30, visibile tra l’altro nel vano scale alquanto famoso. Il Palazzo del Prefetto, è tipico dell’architettura di Göteborg. Queste costruzioni sono realizzate con un piano in muratura e due di legno per prevenire incendi. Il palazzo divenne residenza popolare e intorno al 1940 la metà degli abitanti di Göteborg viveva nel palazzo. I resti di questi edifici si trovano nei quartieri Majorna, Gårda, Haga e Kålltorp.

LetteraturaTra gli autori svedesi noti internazionalmente vi sono Emanuel Swedenborg, August Strindberg, Selma Lagerlöf, Vilhelm Moberg, Harry Martinson e Astrid Lindgren, la nota autrice di libri per bambini. Premio Nobel per la letteratura
[modifica]
MusicaMolto importanti artisti quali i noti ABBA, che hanno profondamente inciso nel panorama europeo della musica scandinava. La musica svedese è da molti associata al gruppo Ace of Base, agli Ark ed ai The Cardigans, anche se gruppi meno conosciuti quali Soundtrack of our lives e The Hives hanno iniziato ad acquisire una fama internazionale. La Svezia vanta inoltre un panorama di artisti emergenti, in special modo per quanto concerne il metal (di stampo spesso potente, quasi estremo, ma sempre molto melodico) in cui sono presenti numerosissimi gruppi (fra le scene più attive del mondo) che spaziano fra quasi tutti i sotto-generi e che sono fra i più noti e apprezzati nell'ambiente metal. Tra i gruppi più famosi metal svedese vi sono: Opeth, Hammerfall, Katatonia, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, Soilwork, Pain Of Salvation. Molto attiva è anche una scena rock alternativa/indie dove anche in questo caso c'è una scena vivace e in fermento, tuttavia è assai meno nota e spesso si associa la Svezia unicamente al metal, equazione giudicata alquanto errata dalle comunità alternative appassionate del pop e del rock svedesi.
[modifica]
CinemaIl cinema svedese del XX secolo è caratterizzato dai lavori pionieristici agli albori del cinema, di Mauritz Stiller e Victor Sjöström. Più tardi, mostri sacri come il registra Ingmar Bergman e attrici del calibro di Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman e Anita Ekberg hanno fatto fortuna all'estero. In temi più recenti hanno ottenuto riconoscimenti interanzionali i film di Lukas Moodysson La prima cerimonia di consegna del Premio Nobel si tenne alla vecchia Accademia Reale di Musica a Stoccolma nel 1901; a partire dal 1902, i premi sono stati formalmente consegnati dal re di Svezia.
[modifica]
PoliticaLa Svezia è una monarchia da quasi un millennio, con la fiducia controllata del parlamento fino al 1866, e il potere legislativo condiviso tra il re e il Parlamento (fino al 1975). Il potere esecutivo era diviso tra il re e un nobile fino al 1680, successivamente si passò al governo autocratico del Re. Come reazione al fallimento della grande Guerra del Nord, venne introdotto il parlamentarismo nel 1719, seguito da tre differenti versioni di monarchia costituzionale nel 1772, 1789 e 1809, quest'ultima garantiva svariate libertà civili. Il parlamentarismo venne reintrodotto nel 1917 quando Gustavo V di Svezia, dopo decenni di lotta, accettò di nominare dei gabinetti supportati dalla maggioranza del parlamento, seguito dal suffragio semplice e universale, introdotti nel 1918-21. Il Parlamentarismo fu sostenuto dal suo successore Gustavo VI Adolfo di Svezia fin quando una nuova costituzione nel 1975 aboli il potere politico del monarca. Il re rimane come formale, ma puramente simbolico, capo dello stato, con funzioni principalmente cerimoniali. La Socialdemocrazia ha giocato un ruolo politico dominante sin dal 1917, dopo che i riformisti confermarono la loro forze e i rivoluzionari lasciarono il partito. L'influenza Socialdemocratica sulla società e il governo è spesso descritta come egemonica. Dopo il 1932 i gabinetti sono stati guidati e dominati dai Socialdemocratici con l'eccezione di pochi mesi nel 1936; sei anni dal 1976 al 1982; e tre anni dal 1991 al 1994. Costituzionalmente, il Parlamento unicamerale o Riksdag, di 349 membri, detiene autorità suprema in Svezia. Può alterare la costituzione e i suoi atti non sono soggetti a revisione giudiziaria. Nuove leggi possono essere promulgate dal gabinetto o dai membri del parlamento. I parlamentari sono eletti con il sistema proporzionale e dispongono di un mandato quadriennale. La costituzione può essere modificata dal Riksdag, che richiede una maggioranza qualificata e una conferma dopo le elezioni generali successive. Il sistema giudiziario e diviso tra corti con una regolare giurisdizione civile e criminale, e corti speciali con responsabilità sui contenziosi tra il pubblico e il governo o le autorità municipali. La legge Svedese è codificata e il sistema giuridico consiste di corti locali, corti d'appello regionali e una corte suprema.

FestivitàIl calendario delle festività svedesi è composto principalmente da festività cristiane. Molte di queste comunque sono una continuazione di costumi pre-cristiani come la Festa di Mezza Estate o la Notte di Walpurgis.
Il lunedì di Pentecoste non è più festività nazionale a partire dal 2005.
