Comfortable West Sweden Apartments and West Sweden Accommodation
Fresh Nordic air, pleasant harbour towns and a clean coastline bursting with succulent seafood are among the wonders West Sweden has to offer. A Nordic country in Northern Europe on the Scandinavian Peninsula, Sweden borders Finland and Norway and is connected to Denmark with its lovely holiday homes West Jutland and Romo via a bridge-tunnel across the Öresund. Even though Sweden is the European Union's third largest country, it has a low population density with most of its inhabitants concentrated in the southern half. Sweden has the lowest Gini coefficient in the world, meaning that Sweden is the most equal, in terms of economic division, in the world.
