Days filled with seemingly endless sunlight, tables piled high with fresh seafood and fleetingly in-season strawberries, cozy lakeside cottages… there’s a lot to love about a Scandinavian summer. It all hits its stride in June, with the Swedish celebration of Midsummer, but the long stretches of sunlight continue well into the season. Experience it up close is by booking an Airbnb; whether it’s an apartment on the outskirts of Stockholm or a quiet escape that’s significantly more remote, a home of your own is the best way to truly get a feel for this special time of year.
Vogue’s Guide to the Best Airbnbs in Sweden:
Many of the spots on our list are either waterfront or a quick trip away. Try a colorful, family-friendly villa right on Siljan lake, or opt for a seaside stay with an Österlen home—you can bike to the beach every morning. We even found a cabin on your very own personal island; if you want to go truly off the grid, WiFi-free and everything, it’s the vacation rental for you.

Known for its white sandy beaches, farm shops selling local delicacies, and small fishing villages, Österlen is a great option for your Swedish summer trip. Set the scene for your stay with this cozy home. It dates back to 1901, with soaring ceilings and whitewashed wood panels that make it feel even more spacious than it is. It comes with four bikes you can use for the duration of your stay—cycle out to the beach, stopping at one of the aforementioned farm stands for dinner ingredients. The lush garden has an outdoor table; we’re predicting you’ll want to spend your evenings there.
