Svealand

Svealand is the central region of Sweden and the historical core of the Swedish nation. The name comes from the Svear people, who gave Sweden its name (Sverige = Svea Rike, the Realm of the Svear).

This region encompasses the capital Stockholm, the ancient academic city of Uppsala, and the culturally rich Dalarna. From royal palaces to ancient Viking sites, Svealand offers the quintessential Swedish experience.
