Den svenska delen av regionen är ett viktigt turistnav som omfattar cirka 25 procent av hela landets yta. Charmen med Lappland ligger i dess dramatiska landskap och otämjda vildmark. Turister som besöker området kan njuta av lugnet och allt det bästa naturen har att erbjuda. Vandring är en av de mest populära aktiviteterna i Lappland på grund av de storslagna panoramavyerna. Berg, skogar, älvar och fantastiska vyer kombineras för att skapa ett stort och varierat område som ingen naturälskare vill missa. Resan till Lappland i Sverige börjar oftast med ett stopp i Kiruna, en stad som ligger ungefär 90 minuter med flyg från Stockholm. Men Kiruna fungerar mest som en inkörsport till det underbara lappländska paradiset. I Lappland finns också en rad otroliga turistorter som Abisko och Björkliden. Om du gillar bergsklättring får du inte missa Kebnekaise, det högsta berget i hela Sverige. Ett annat viktigt stopp i Lappland är ishotellet i Jukkasjärvi, världens största hotell helt tillverkat av snö och is. Många delar av Lappland finns med på UNESCOs världsarvslista. Bland annat Abiskos nationalpark, en av de äldsta nationalparkerna i norra Europa. ----Formal English---- Lapland The entire region of Lapland stretches through all of the Scandinavian countries and into the Kola Peninsula area of Russia. The Swedish part of the region is a major tourist hub and includes about twenty-five percent of the nation's land. The charm of Lapland lies in its dramatic landscapes and untamed wilderness. Tourists who visit the area enjoy a time of tranquility and all the best things nature has to offer. Hiking is among Lapland's most popular activities because of the gorgeous panoramas. Mountains, forests, rivers, and wide vistas combine to create a vast and varied region that no nature lover would want to miss. Heading into Lapland in Sweden usually begins with a stop in Kiruna, a town that's about ninety minutes from Stockholm via airplane. But Kiruna serves only as a gateway to the wondrous paradise that is the Lapland region. Lapland is also home to a number of incredible resorts, like Abisko and Bjorkliden. If mountain climbing is something you enjoy, you won't want to miss Mt. Kebnekaise, the highest mountain in all of Sweden. Another major stop in Lapland is the Icehotel, the world's largest hotel made entirely of snow and ice. Many parts of Lapland are on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. Among them is Abisko National Park, one of the oldest parks in northern Europe. --------------------------- Learn Swedish with SwedishPod101!

I världen finns det olika religösa och kulturella kalendrar och nyår är inte bara viktig för troende. I Sverige firas nyår på natten mellan nyårsafton den 31a December och nyårsdagen den 1a Januari. 12 slaget är övergången till det nya året. Julen är en högtid som man firar med familjen men nyår firar man oftast med sina vänner. Man brukar fira det i form av en middag eller en nyårsfest. Nu för tiden är det många event som pågår under nyår och istället för att ha en middag och fest hemma så är det många som går ut på klubb eller en kryssning för att fira nyår, men många föredrar att fira det hemma med sina vänner. Festen ska oftast vara lite exklusivare än vanligt och man ska vara finklädd. Strax innan 12 slaget brukar man gå ut och avlösa fyrverkerier eller titta på andras. Det är också vanligt att man tar med sig champagne ut som ska öppnas och drickas vid 12 slaget. Minuten innan tolvslaget räknar man ner och på offentliga platser brukar det finnas en klocka som visar hur långt det är kvar tills det nya året. På 12 slaget säger man gott nytt år och skålar och kramar alla. Efter 12 slaget och skålarna så brukar man oftast gå tillbaka in för att umgås i ett par timmar till. Precis innan nyår, brukar man skriva ner eller bestämma ett nyårslöfte. Ett nyårslöfte brukar oftast handla om något man ska göra, t.ex. att gå ner 5 kilo eller lära sig ett nytt språk eller sluta göra någonting som t.ex. att sluta röka. ----Formal English---- New Years New Years is a traditional holiday celebrated at the start of the new year. In the world there are different religious and cultural calendars and New Years is not only important for believers. In Sweden, the New Year is celebrated on the night of New Year's Eve on 31st December and New Year's Day on 1st January. The strike of midnight is the transition to the new year. Christmas is a festival that is celebrated with family, but New Years is celebrated usually with friends. It is customary to celebrate it in the form of a dinner or a New Years party. Nowadays there are many events taking place during New Years and instead of having dinner and a party at home many go out to clubs or a cruise to celebrate the New Year, but most people prefer to celebrate it at home with their friends. The party is usually more exclusive than usual and you should be formally dressed. Shortly before midnight it is customary to go out and fire off fireworks or watch others. It is also common that you bring out the champagne to be opened and drunk at midnight. The minute before midnight it is common to count down and in public places there is usually a clock showing how long it is left until the new year. At midnight people say happy new years to eachother and cheer and hug everyone. After midnight and the cheers you usually go back in to hang out for a few more hours. Just before New Years, It is common to write down or set a New Year's resolution. A New Year's resolution is usually about something to start doing, such as to lose five kilograms or learn a new language, or to stop doing something, such as to stop smoking. --------------------------- Learn Swedish with SwedishPod101!

Det firas två huvudsakliga traditioner av Lucia dagen, en svensk och en sicilliansk. Den svenska traditionen har sitt ursprung i både hedniska och kristna seder. Enligt folktro var den 13e december en farlig natt. Många övernaturliga väsen kom ut denna nat och man trodde också att djuren kunde tala på denna natt. Det finns också en tro om att Lussi eller Lussekärringen, en kvinnovarelse med onda egenskaper likt en kvinnlig demon eller häxa rider genom luften med sina följeslagare. Det sägs ha varit väldigt farligt att vara ute på lussinatta och barn som inte varit goda behövde akta sig extra noga. När den julianska kalendern gällde i Sverige och Finland, fram till 1753, var lucianatten årets längsta natt. Man ansåg att mycket övernaturliga väsen fanns ute och härjade, och därför ansågs det vara bäst att hålla sig inne och att hålla sig vaken hela natten. På grund av att det var årets mörkaste natt så tände man mycket ljus för att få ljuset att återvända. Därför kan traditionen med en ljusbringande kvinna ha sitt ursprung i en hednisk ljusgudinna. Nu förtiden firas Lucia på skolor, daghem, föreningar, och många arbetsplatser. Barn brukar gå i luciatåg och lussar för sina föräldrar och grannar och sjunga. För sångerna dom sjunger får barnen oftast godis i gengäld. I dom flesta städerna och kommuner utses ortens lucia genom olika omröstningar. Varje år tar den största lucia konserten plats på Globen i Stockholm där Adolf Fredriks musikklasser, Stockholms musikgymnasium, och Stockholm läns blåsarsymfoniker spelar och sjunger. Det finns också en tradition att bjuda in nobelpristagarna på Grand Hotel för en visning av ett luciatåg på den 13e december på morgonen. ----Formal English---- Lucia Lucia is celebrated on the 13th of December and marks the beginning of Christmas celebrations. There are two main traditions celebrated on Lucia Day—a Swedish tradition and a Sicilian tradition. The Swedish tradition has its origins in both pagan and Christian customs. According to folklore, the 13th of December is a dangerous night. Many supernatural beings come out that night and it was believed that animals could speak on this night. There is also a belief that Lussi or Lusse the Old Hag, a female creature with vicious qualities, like a female demon or witch, rode through the air with her companions. It is said to be very dangerous to be out on Lussinatta and children who have not been good have to be extra careful. Before the Julian calendar ended in Sweden and Finland in 1753, Lucia night was the longest night. It was believed that a lot of supernatural beings came out, and therefore it was considered best to stay inside and stay awake all night. Because it was the darkest night, candles were lit to get the light to return. Therefore, the tradition of a candle-bearing woman may have originated from a pagan goddess. Nowadays Lucia is celebrated in schools, kindergartens, clubs, and many workplaces. Children usually go out in Lucia Parades and "lussar" to their parents and neighbors and sing. For the songs they sing, the children usually get candy in return. In most towns and cities a Lucia is nominated through various votes. Every year, the largest Lucia concert takes place at the Globe Arena in Stockholm, where Adolf Fredrik's Music Classes, the Stockholm Music School, and Stockholm Wind Ensemble play and sing. There is also a tradition of inviting the Nobel Prize winners to the Grand Hotel for a Lucia Parade show on the morning of December 13th. --------------------------- [...]
