Officially, it's the Kingdom of Sweden, but visitors to this large Nordic country think less about monarchs and more about ocean side retreats and a strong market economy, with perhaps a touch of nostalgia for Swedish pop music super group ABBA.

The third largest country in Western Europe, Sweden is known for being a modern, liberal country where the majority of citizens—a whopping 84 percent—live in urban areas. The corporate culture, particularly when compared to the U.S. and Great Britain, is non-hierarchical, and companies tend to be run collectively, making for an export-oriented economy with a notable distribution system, but also with a robust reputation for creativity in business dealings. One recent book, penned by a U.S. economist, put Sweden in the top spot worldwide for drawing creative people into its corporate entities.

In Sweden on business or a holiday? Make sure to get connected with iPass. More than 400 Wi-Fi hotspots are available around the country. Stay at Elite Hotels for broadband in the guest rooms. Get Wi-Fi in the train stations in Almhult, Boden and Mjölby—even the Arlanda Express station in Stockholm is hotspot equipped, for your convenience. Spending some time in the airport? No problem: through a partnership with the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration (LFV), iPass brings you high-speed connections at 16 airports large and small throughout the country, including many terminals in the Stockholm-Arlanda (ARN) airport.

While traveling on business, don't forget to sample the cultural delights of the country. Although ABBA might be its most popular musical export, Sweden boasts a number of classical composers and musicians and has many opportunities to see opera, jazz, folk music, and orchestra performances. Those in search of sterner stuff can opt for heavy metal, a particularly beloved (if loud) rock music genre in Sweden.

Whether you're in waiting for a flight at the airport, grabbing a last taste of Nordic fare—maybe a bit of lingonberry jam, lutefisk or aquavit—or even getting a caffeine fix at one of many Espresso House cafés, you can stay enterprise ready with broadband connections from iPass.
