How this list is made

The places at their best in winter with a page in our Travel section, across all of Sweden, ranked by the Herald score: recognition, what visitors around the world look for, what our readers rate and what our editors know. At most 4 from one city or region, so the list covers the country. Nobody can pay to be on it.

We do not have enough reader ratings for these places yet, so for now the order rests on the outside signs and on how much the world looks for each place. Ratings will count once readers have given them.
