The system in Sweden is rather confusing (I think). So let me make a try to confuse you as well, LOL :-))Three parts of SwedenFirst of all Sweden is often roughly devided in three main parts and Svealand is the central part of the country. On the map you can see these three parts of Sweden.- Götaland = South Sweden- Svealand = Central Sweden- Norrland = North SwedenLän (counties)These three parts are further devided in several counties ("Läns" in Swedish). In total there are 21 counties of Sweden. VT uses the Län structure of Sweden, so I am using that too here in my travel pages.Landskap (provinces)But besides these "Läns" people also refer to the different part of Sweden in "Landskap" (=province). In total there are 25 "Landskap" in Sweden. I've noticed that this is a more used system when talking with Swedes and reading travel books. So what is so confusing?Län = Landskap --> but...
