Tove comes from Knivsta, a township some 20 kms North of the Capital Stockholm
Research tells us that :-
•Knivsta is a young and expanding municipality with a pioneering spirit and a strong sense of identity.
•Knivsta is also an old railway town in a cultural region that was once the centre of the kingdom of Sweden.
•Knivsta is favourably located along a main railway line and Highway E4. With frequent train services, it takes only half an hour to reach Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and ten minutes to Uppsala, one of Sweden’s oldest and most famous university cities.
•A major international airport, Arlanda, is only 15 minutes away.
•Knivsta has attractive residential districts and good municipal services, and lies in the most beautiful countryside.
•Three universities and a large number of university colleges are within commuting distance.
We look forward to hearing More about Knivsta and that beautiful country Sweden
