2023 truly is a jubilee year for Sweden, with 500 years worth of celebration.
It’s a year with more than one Swedish milestone, but at the heart of it all is Sweden's independence.
On 6 June 1523, in the town of Strängnäs, Gustav Vasa was elected King of Sweden. With Gustav Vasa elected, Sweden left the so-called Kalmar Union with Denmark and Norway, and once again became independent. 6 June = Sweden National Day.
2023 also marks 50 years on the throne for King Carl XVI Gustaf, Sweden's current monarch.
