Sweden’s popularity as a tourist destination is ever-growing. From the world’s first twisting skyscraper to a melting ice hotel, a land art installation in a micronation and a UNESCO World Heritage cemetery – not to mention the world’s largest spherical building. Here’s a peek into Swedish accommodations and landmarks way out of the ordinary.

Ice Hotel

Come April every year and the Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi melts down – well, it used to, anyway. As of November 2016, a new part of the icy hotel stays open all year round. Solar panels harvest energy from the sun, which is then used to keep the ice from melting.

The Turning Torso

Malmö’s Turning Torso, designed by Santiago Calatrava, is the world’s first twisting skyscraper and Scandinavia’s tallest tower at 190 metres. It celebrated its 10th birthday on August 27, 2015, and won the CTBUH’s (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat) ‘10 Year Award’ the same year.

The hotel among the trees

The Mirrorcube is one of the half-dozen havens of contemporary architecture that is Treehotel (2010), way up in Harads in the north of Sweden. Renowned Swedish architects – Tham & Videgård, Cyrén & Cyrén, Inredningsgruppen and Sandell Sandberg – have worked on the buildings.
