Here are four tips to enjoy a Swedish summer.

Stay in a cottage

There are nearly 600,000 summer houses in Sweden. And more than 50% of the Swedes have access to them through family or friends. A few of the most popular summer house destinations for Swedes can be found in the provinces of Smaland, Skane and Oland. If you want to spend your summer like a Swede, make sure to spend a few nights in a cottage.

Follow the trail to Gotland

The island of Gotland is where half of Stockholmers go during the summer. In the medieval (中世纪)city of Visby, ancient streets and city walls meet modern restaurants, cafes and shops. A short ferry ride northeast of Gotland lies the smaller island of Faro, where director Ingmar Bergman used to live. Both Faro and Gotland are famous for their many flea markets.

Check out a music festival

Swedish summer is a festival season. Way Out West, or WOW, is the most popular music festival with about 30,000 visitors. It is usually held in Gothenburg park of Slottsskogen in August. It has been prized as the Most Innovative Festival by MTV and, since 2012, WOW has only served vegetarian food(素食). The decision, praised by Jamie Oliver, has reduced the festival’s carbon footprint by 20%. WOW is also Europe’s biggest combined music and film festival.

Pick blueberries in Dalarna

Dalarna is perhaps the most Swedish province, with its red wooden cottages, deep green forests and Dala horses. This region is perfect for making yourself involved in traditional Midsummer celebrations or listening to Swedish folk music. When you need a break from all of this loud Swedishness, head into the woods for some quiet blueberry picking.

Liverpool, my hometown, is a special city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage(遗产)Site.

I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist （薄雾）, Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe.
