Anyone who loves travel and a good, roasted goose cannot miss journeying to Sweden this fall. Every November, many towns throughout the nation celebrate St. Martin’s Eve by feasting on goose and various other traditional dishes. Travelers hoping to experience a fun and distinctive festival while on vacation need look no further than Sweden for an unforgettable trip.
Many travelers will find some of the best celebration in the southern parts of the country, where locals and tourists often frequent restaurants that add this special meal to their menu, states the country’s tourism website. The goose itself is slow roasted and filled with prunes and apples. Many parts of the bird are used with side dishes, such as goose liver sausage and a black soup with fruits and goose fat broth. Fans of unique cuisine will love sampling this feast while on a Swedish holiday this fall.
After a satisfying goose feast, guests to Sweden should spend some time exploring the capital city of Stockholm. World Travel Guide states that The Royal Palace is a must-see, situated on the island of Riddarholmen. As one of the oldest surviving palaces still in use on the continent, taking a tour of its grandly furnished rooms is well worth the trip.
