Hawaii, Guam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, etc. are recommended for first-time overseas travel.られますよね。

I have been to most of the countries that are frequently recommended.、Personally, I think Sweden is the first trip abroad alone.っています。

For those of you who are choosing a country for your first overseas trip this time, I would like to fully introduce you to the 8 reasons why I recommend Sweden and the attractions of Sweden.と思います。

What is Sweden

First, let me introduce what kind of country Sweden is.す。

Basic information about Sweden 

The Kingdom of Sweden, hereinafter unified into Sweden, is a country located on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe, commonly known as Northern Europe.置する国です。

The capital is Stockholm and the total population is less than 10 million.弱。
The official language is Swedish, but there was only one moment when I couldn't understand English during my 10 days.す。
（Sweden has the highest percentage of people who speak English as a second language in the world一。）

Sweden is like that、World Happiness Ranking Consistently High。
『Some people may think that the happiness ranking has something to do with it, but if you visit once, you should be able to understand the reason.だける筈。

Swedish national character

As a rule of thumb、The national character of the country is directly linked to the atmosphere of the country when traveling.しています。

As an example, even in Japanも『In the city, there are many people who are always in a hurry and strict.い。』 or、『Because it is a rural area, time flows slowly.る。』 That's how I feelす。

A brief introduction to the national character that is often talked about with subjectivity介。

• Gender discrimination sexism almost no racismどない
• respect personal space
• methodical and serious目
• cherish nature
• strong self-reliance

At first glance, it may seem that the craftsmanship makes it difficult to talk to them, but that is not the case.なく『People who firmly protect individual rights and fulfill their responsibilities々』 I have the impression that。

Details will be explained later, but there is almost no racial discrimination in Europe, so we Japanese of yellow race can travel with peace of mind.できます。

8 reasons to visit Sweden

Now let's get to the main topic, but I'll introduce 8 reasons why I strongly recommend Sweden, including my experiences.ます。
To get started, check out the list below that summarizes the best things about Sweden.ださい。

• Fluent in English and easy to understandすい）
• Very high credit card penetration
• Local people are very kind
• Almost accessible by bus and train on foot来る
• The clothes in the store are fashionable anyway洒落
• Rice is close to Japanese mouth
• you can see the aurora
• You can go to neighboring country Denmark by train行ける

In summary, it feels like a good country that is easy to talk to and easy to visit.た感じです。
Let's take a closer look at each sectionす。

English is spoken and easy to understandい

First of all, I don't think I've ever seen a case where English is not understood in the city center such as Stockholm or Gothenburg unless there is a serious problem.思います。

There is a bit of subjectivity, but English is a second language like Japanese people, so they speak English at a speed that is just right and easy to hear.くれます。
（America, England, and other English-speaking countries are too fast or too quirky強い。）

By the way, after the 7th day of the 10 days I was there, I didn't even need English, so I went sightseeing in katakana, but I had no time to spare.余裕でした。

Very high credit card penetration

Sweden has one of the highest credit card penetration rates in the world。
It is possible to pay with a credit card from transportation facilities and vending machines to public toilets depending on the location.能。
※The majority of public toilets in Sweden are paid。

In Sweden, you don't need to carry a lot of local currency, and you don't have to run out of cash after your trip.ます。

as a side note 『Tipping is rarely customary』 Good place for first-timersろ。
Strictly speaking, the service charge is included in the price, so it's okay to finish the credit card payment.わり！」で大丈夫です。

Local people are very kind

In the first place, Japanese people are popular, so almost no one will look bad when you say I'm Japanese.しょう。
In my case, when I told the customs at the airport that I was from Japan, the customs officer said, "Oh~ Welcome welcome!"方が仰ってました。

In addition, in rural areas far from the city center of Sweden, strangers stopped their cars and asked for help.の印象でした。

Almost accessible by bus and train on foot来る

For example, if you go to America, you won't be able to fully enjoy it without a car, but Sweden isn't that big, so you can get to most places by bus, train, or on foot.行けます。

By the way, there is an IC card like Suica in Japan, and you can purchase it for one day, so it is convenient to use it.す。

The clothes in the store are fashionable anyway洒落

As the headline says, it's already fashionable. There are many beautiful men and women in Sweden.です。

Scandinavian miscellaneous goods and Scandinavian brands are so popular in Japan that I remember getting the impression that the sense of fashion in Japan is here. The casual scenery and simple streets are all Instagrammableが全て『インスタ映え』。

A country that will never disappoint your faint expectations for your first overseas trip.す。

The rice is close to the Japanese tongue and deliciousい

Even when I travel to Asian countries such as China, South Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand, I end up eating at McDonald's for most of my meals because my tongue doesn't match.してしまいます。

But Sweden has meatballs and Swedish food called Jansson's Temptation.ン料理など、There are many dishes that even I, who has a Japanese tongue, find delicious.。
（As an aside, if you go to Sweden, you can eat reindeer meat.いです。）

you can see the aurora

Can you think of a country where you can see the Northern Lights?か？
Finland Norway Canada Alaska and few places where you can see the Aurora Borealis数少なく、In fact, the city of Kiruna in Sweden is also one of the places where you can see the aurora.一つ。

Kiruna can be reached by train from Stockholm, so、If you have time to spare, please see the aurora with your own eyes.。
（There is an aurora forecast that is not a weather forecast throughout the year, so if you are planning to go check it out.チェック。）

You can go to neighboring country Denmark by train行ける。

from Stockholm, Sweden、You can go to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, by train in 56 and a half hours.しまう is a big advantage that cannot be experienced in China, South Korea, Hawaii or Guamリット。

Denmark's environment is close to Sweden'sく『It's a country that makes Sweden a little more casual.す。
Denmark is also very popular for sightseeing, so I recommend it if you are interested.非。

summary

Lastly, I thought I'd write about what I didn't like about Sweden.が、I couldn't think of any bad points。

How about choosing Sweden for your first trip to the Nordic country full of happiness full of good points?うか。
