hey when is a good time to go to sweden? or anywhere else scandinavian? april a good time? plus is it true you can actually camp out ANYWHERE? i met a guy who had been backpacking for a couple years straight and he told me u can set up camp anywhere in the city/park as long as its a certain distance from a house(which i was told is not that much of a distance) he said he would wake up in the morning and neighbors would have their morning walks right next to his tent and say "nice little setup you have there"
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

Uhm...well, I can only tell you about the southern part of Scandinavia ie: Denmark and southern Sweden. The climate is mild in the spring and somewhat warm in the summer. Winter is a biatch and damn cold. Rains alot too all year round. About setting up a tent anywhere is not recommended in Denmark, and the police WILL take you in. It is illegal by law unless you camp in the designated camping areas. I guess the dude just told you a sweet sugar story. Anyhow, you can always ring the doorbell at some house and ask for permission to camp in their garden/ frontyard/ backyard. Or better yet, go meet some nice girl and camp in her bed?
June-July or August its my favourite time here : ). If you dont like cold, i would not come here during the winter season, very chilly, if you do, bring someone to hug alot.
Or find someone here ; ) Lots of us.
About setting up camp whereever you want, its called Allemansrätten*
* In Sweden, everyone has the right to be out in the countryside-- visitors from abroad as well as Swedish citizens. We call this "the right of public access". It is a benefit not found in a great many other countries. One may also look upon the right of public access as a great freedom. But our freedom in the countryside must not infringe upon the freedom of others.
The right of public access requires consideration, responsibility and good judgement. We must not damage the landscape or animal life, and we must show consideration for both landowners and for others who are out in the countryside.
The essence of the right of public access is concisely expressed by the phrase, "Do not disturb, do not destroy".

: ) You ment that one didnt you?
hmm thats pretty cool. its funny when i went to europe last year i meant a few guys who were studying in copenhagen. one of the guys was totally in love with the social setup/government and kept going on and on about scandinavia so back to what you're saying, how does that work exactly? what is defined as the countryside exactly. is that a certain distance from the city? is a permit required? i mean can i enjoy stockholm during the day and easily access the coutryside at night for my simple accomodations?
I read the * law(s) * (( Its not a law by the true sense of the word, more like a right, that everyone should be allowed to access mother Nature.
Took me forever to understand it.
My mind was not made for these issues hihi : ).
I read through * Swedish Enviromental protection agency * Guidelines to these questions, i link you there.
I think JenTess is right. As long as you do not destory any public proporties, it will be all right for you to camp anywhere. At least, this was what I saw in Göteborg.
Perhaps, there will be some police officers drop by to ask you some questions and so on. Guess this is what they normally do to foreign travelers......

: ) How long have you been in Sweden?
Just visiting or study or something dear? Hope you have a wonderful time here.
