We asked our readers to share their favourite photos from their Swedish summer. Here are some of our favourites.
Summer is a truly magical time in Sweden. As many of us (including half of our staff) are off on a quintessentially Scandi extended summer break, we're curious to see what you've been up to. Here is a selection of some of our favourite reader images of their Swedish summer break, and bonus images from us here at The Local.
