RELAX IN SWEDEN
HOTEL SKANSEN lies in the heart of Båstad, just a stone's throw from the harbour and next door to the world famous tennis court. It dates from 1877 and was originally built as a granary. It was converted into a hotel in the 1920s and became a meeting point for bathers and tennis fans. Over the years the hotel has been substantially expanded to become a spacious oasis and complete conference resort where relaxation and recreation go hand in hand with experiences and adventures.
TEA AND CAKE ANYONE?

A COLOURFUL TRADITION
THE COPENHAGEN CARNIVAL is an annual event where you can experience fantastic costumes, Samba dancing and lots of colourful acts. Since its beginnings in 1982, the Carnival has become an extremely popular festival in the Copenhagen area because of the variety of music and performance it offers; there is something for everyone, which is why more than 100,000 come and enjoy the many free concerts and dance performances from all over the world. It lasts 3 days, 29 to 31 May 2009 in Fælledparken and the Carnival parade makes its way through the streets of the city centre starting at Kongens Nytorv Saturday from 11am and culminating at the City Hall Square. The children have their own parade on the Friday. Finally, the Sunday's traditional evening parade in Fælledparken rounds off the Copenhagen Carnival with yet another magnificent show of fervent samba rhythms and gleaming costumes.
