Karavan Förlag is a Swedish publishing house based in Lund, founded in the autumn of 2012. We publish books about travel, places and people.

We specialise in travel guides written by Swedish authors who know their destinations inside and out — because they have lived there themselves.

Our series, Karavan Reseguider, now covers nearly 30 destinations around the world. Each guide is crafted to go beyond the surface, offering personal insights, hidden gems, and cultural depth.

On our websites, karavanforlag.se and karavanreseguider.se, you can explore our books, discover inspiring travel stories, and learn about how to travel more sustainably — an important perspective that guides our work.

We believe travel is about more than moving between places. It’s about discovery, understanding, and sharing stories that connect us to the world.
