Sweden is a fantastic place to visit as the country has an amazing mixture of exciting cities and glorious countryside. Most people start their trip from the capital of Sweden, Stockholm, a good place to secure essentials like a reliable car rental. A short road-trip outside of the city, you can explore some of the interesting historical buildings around the harbour area which date from the era of the Hanseatic Empire. More active pursuits can be found in the mountainous north of Sweden, this is an area popular amongst winter-sports enthusiasts and will give you the once in a lifetime chance of driving your rental car or van under the wonderful northern lights. Another natural delight, and a brilliant place to drive your car hire vehicle, is the serene Swedish fjords.
