- You can find a lot of amazing things to see in Sweden, from the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, to the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, to the viking village of Birka on Björkö. But there's also a lot of...strange tourist attractions. This is a list of the 10 most unusual tourist attractions you can find in Sweden!

The places shown in this video includes:
- Sweden Solar System, a 950 km scale model of the solar system. This is the world's largest model of the solar system, and it covers an incredibly huge area - so it makes for an interesting scavenger hunt and road trip.
- The car cemetery at Kyrkö mosse in Ryd. Hundreds of old cars are rusting away out in the woods in this old car cemetery. What will become of it? Will it become an open-air museum? Or will the cars just rust away? Who knows...
- Treehotel in Harads, 50 km south of the Arctic Circle, is a collection of completely unique cabins where you can spend the night inside gorgeous and thought-provoking structures like the Dragonfly or the Mirror Cube. Or a UFO.
- Arnold's Cannibal Museum in Önneköp is a fascinating place, owned by a fascinating man. Seeing all the items that Arnold has collected during his trips is just half the joy of being there - the other half is hearing him tell stories of his adventures.
- Kolarbyn Eco Lodge outside of Skinnskatteberg is Sweden's most primitive hostel. No electricity, no running water, and you sleep in earthen huts - just like our ancestors used to do when producing charcoal out in the woods.
- Ales stenar in Kåsaberga is Sweden's biggest stone ship. What's a stone ship? It's a Vendel or Viking age structure that had symbolic or ceremonial meaning (no one really knows for sure), and it's an amazing sight to see.
- High Chaparral in Värnamo is a wild west theme park. In Sweden. That's been there since 1966. It's unexpected just how huge and built up this park is - and you can clearly tell that it was a passion project by one man.
- Nimis and the micronation of Ladonia can be found at Mölle. It's an enormous driftwood sculpture created by the now deseased artist Lars Vilks. The place is fascinating - and the story behind it is just as interesting as well.
- Borgvattnet Rectory in Borgvattnet is Sweden's most haunted house. Yeah. That pretty much says it all doesn't it! The fun thing is that you can spend the night there.
- The world's only permanent James Bond museum can be found in the town of Nybro, and it's owned by a man called...James Bond. This museum is absolutely amazing - and also quite unusual!
Touring around Sweden to see the solar system sounds like a great road trip adventure, even if some of the planets are a bit underwhelming 😅
I think it's all about the trip itself for an attraction like this! The planets really aren't all that interesting in most cases :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond For sure! Make a good playlist and grab a couple of friends and it's well worth it.
I'm curious, I found you because of the video you made about Tallinn, are you going to Laulupidu and Tantsupidu next year?
@@lulu.chains.88 Exactly! Although it's by myself instead most of the time :D Ooh I haven't even heard of those... I need to see what it's about and if I can find a good excuse...I mean, a good story to write about them :D
I will be visiting a family member in Nybro in September...it sounds like a visit to The James Bond Museum is a must-do. Thanks for the tip!
You really should go :D I loved that place, and he was so cool to chat with!
I deeply and dearly love High Chaparral. Yes it's very kitsch and silly but in a very endearing way.
The gangs of kids roaming around engaging in gunfights with capguns are pretty fun.
Also the stunt show is amazing.
I totally agree! Haha, I never got to go there until I was an adult, so I'm living it up now instead
Tree Hotel looks pretty cool TBF and the James Bond museum is 💯 on the list
It's expensive but it really looks awesome :D
As always, a great video!
There’s always nice places to visit. Touring Sweden, always make a detour if you see the special brown road sign hinting a “special place to visit”.
Thank you! And I really would like to take a spontaneous trip sometime and just take all of those detours I can find :D I just imagine all the little hidden gems that are lying in wait out there!
Hi Miro! Loved the vlog - particularly the Tree Hotel; seems like it would be a “hoot” to stay in a tree top! I arrive, finally, in Sweden this Friday and will enjoy seeing a lot of the places from your vlogs in person especially the Vasa- might mention High Chaparral as a venue to visit, to my friends but need to get my spurs and chaps out of storage! Thanks again for a fun vlog!
Haha, oh my, if you have spurs you're all set for High Chaparral! But that sounds so cool - I hope you'll have a splendid time in Sweden :D I will be out on town all Saturday, checking out tapas bars and the Stockholm Burger Fest that's happening this week (even though I might skip burgers), so if you see me out and about, give a holler! And cheers for checking out the vlog :D
Thank you so much for this information. I have recently discovered your channel. I am recently retired and I've been binge watching!
I have a plan (since childhood) to go to the arctic circle by train from where I live, (in Liverpool UK) going up through Sweden, visiting Finland and coming down through Norway. I have been to Sweden and I love it, even Kalles and boiled egg for breakfast!
Thanks for your videos, they're great. I love your dry sense of humour.
Oh wow, that sounds like an amazing trip! Really happy that you enjoy the videos, and I hope I can give inspiration for a few places to visit (even if I haven't done as much about Finland and Norway as Sweden). Thanks for checking out the videos, and thanks for commenting - it's much appreciated :D
The Tree Hotel looks like a winner!
It's completely amazing :D
I'm always impressed by High Chaparral. Living in Texas, we have places like that...even old towns that kept some of their old buildings. But High Chaparral seems to out-Texas Texas on this one! (And out-Wyomings Wyoming and all our actual Western states.) But all these attractions make me want to visit! (Well, all your videos make us want to visit!)
I seriously want to go back myself just for fun! When I was a kid everyone went there but my mom always thought it was capitalist silliness so I never got to see it until I was grown up :D
I’d Love to visit all the tourist attractions in this video , well except for the planet one can’t see the attraction traveling 950 km to see some round balls either on a pedestal or hanging from the ceiling? The Tree hotel looked amazing and I bet the views are second to none. Stay safe till next time
It's just me who's stupid enough to travel to see all the planets, and then all the way north to Kiruna to document the Terminal Chock...but then I forgot to visit the Terminal Chock when I was up there... Haha, the view is actually pretty crappy in the cabins since it's just trees all around! But I think they're pretty cool anyway :D Cheers!
Is the Devil's Bible (Codex Gigas) still at the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm? That book has a very unusual history! Thanks for this video, Miro! 😊
Yes it is! It's been on my todo list to make a video about - but I need to get permission to film it :D Cheers!
Thank you Vagabond. Another great advices. I hope VisitSwedenOfficial YT channel maybe give you a request to make videos about Sweden. You always find the most unusual things around Sweden. I hope they find you and use your content as well. Otherwise people still confuse between Sweden and Switzerland. Sweden has more attraction but very underrated due to lack of knowledge. I don't think there is a field for graveyard of cars has become a museum or an art piece is at war with San Marino. Kolarbyn is like an ancient Faraday cage for digital isolation. Sweden offers a whole uniqueness where you can not find another place around the world. I think you deserve more attraction from officials. Thank you so much your adventures and have a great day.
PS. A Wendy's would be great in Värnamo. I am afraid of you will become a cowboy in there.
You know what, that's actually not a bad idea... Maybe I'll fire off an email to their PR department and see if they could sponsor a trip somewhere for me. If that happens, I'll be sure to thank you for the inspiration :D And thank you for checking out the video! Oh, but wait a Faraday cage in Kolarbyn? That would imply a metal mesh right? But I think I get what you mean - it's a metaphorical Faraday cage forcing you away from all the luxuries.
Speaking of which, I actually stayed in a similar place in the US, close to Death Valley - there was no electricity, no running water, just a tent. I could probably survive in Kolarbyn too if I stayed the night...
Haha yes! They really should have Wendy's and all other American fast food chains there. But wait, did they have those back in the 1800s...
@@ThreeStarVagabond If this happens I will be too glad to see you will transformed in to Swiss Guide Vagabond! :D ( its a current joke in their page) Also I will be happy to help you select few videos of your product to send them which may use to introduce Stockholm, GBG and other cities maybe.
For Kolarbyn like a Faraday cage, I want to say it is a good place to run and hide from internet and digital world. It is mostly non modern place to stay for a night.
You should have filmed the car cemetery at night, slightly grainy and with a shaky camera, plus add some creepy sound effects. 😱
The creepy sound effects would just have been me running around cutting myself on rusty cars. "Ow! Damn! Ouch!" :D
When I was growing up, I was told that Stonehenge were the toes of the Easter Island heads 😂😂 I'm guessing the Easter Island guys have toes in Sweden too 🇸🇪🏴 👍
Haha, maybe they're standing with their feet very far apart :D
9:59 this is the funniest thing I have recently heard. this micronation (nimis, ladonia) at war with Sweden, the US and San Marino for some reason hahahahahahahhahahahahha
I'm sure they have their REALLY serious and completely not arbitrary reasons :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond this is just great, I love Swedish humor :)))))
Get a life …😂😂
You silly little child. I have WAY too much going on - I want LESS of it, not more!
