Many Swedish towns and organisations have websites in both Swedish and English (although the English pages are often less detailed). Hotels, restaurants and museums throughout the country can also frequently be found online. The following websites are useful for preplanning:
An introduction to the Sami people - A good place to start learning about the indigenous people of northern Sweden and the issues they face, which include racism and habitat destruction.
Smorgasbord - A comprehensive website devoted to Swedish culture, industry, history, sports, tourism, environment and more, produced by the nonprofit FÖRST Föreningen Sverigeturism (Swedish Tourism Trade Association).
Sweden.se - All kinds of useful information about the country, in a variety of languages.

Swedish Institute - The Swedish Institute publishes the best academic information on Sweden in English.
