"There are so many wow moments when travelling in Scandinavia and a camera rarely does them justice. That's why you have to see them with your own eyes"

Lasse, Travel Director

Walk in the fairy tale Gamla Stan in Stockholm
One of the oldest and best preserved medieval centres in all of Europe, Gamla Stan is a maze of alleyways and baroque style architecture in the heart of Stockholm’s old town. Allow yourself time to explore the cafes, galleries and museums of this 12th century playground.
See the medieval Storkyrkan

Built during the 13th century, “The Great Church” of Storkyrkan is a magnificent cathedral inspired by Gothic design. As impressive as the exterior is, it’s the interior’s large collection of statues and furnishings, including the famous wooden statue of St George slaying the dragon, that will truly leave you in awe.
Visit Royal Palace at the heart of Stockholm's Old Town

The former residence of His Majesty the King of Sweden is an architectural feat with over 600 rooms, found in the centre of Stockholm. Open to the public daily, you can gaze upon Queen Kristina’s silver throne and marvel at the centuries old interiors.
See Lake Vanern, The Largest Lake In The European Union

Spend a day at the EU’s biggest lake and partake in a variety of water activities such as sailing, canoeing, fishing and swimming. On land you can soak up the sunshine whilst dining on Scandinavian treats by the waterfront, making the most of the picturesque sandy beaches.
Enjoy a drink at the world's first Ice Bar

What to pack for Sweden

An All-Weather Jacket

No matter the time of year, a jacket is a must in your Sweden travel bag. Go for something lightweight yet warm, waterproof and windproof, and you will be ready for all Swedish weather conditions.

A legitimate camera

While most people are content with using their phone for holiday snaps, if you truly want to capture the beauty of this city you should bring a specialist camera.

Comfortable shoes

One minute you’re walking through Stockholm’s old town, the next your hiking through alpine landscapes in the far north. A comfortable pair of walking shoes will get you through all environments on your trip to Sweden.

A refillable water bottle

You’ll spend most of your time on the move in Sweden. Bring a reusable, lightweight and durable water bottle to keep rehydrated while doing your bit for the environment.

Sunglasses

Even in winter, the sun’s glare can be your enemy. A slick pair of sunglasses will not only protect your eyes but will also help you fit in with the fashionable Swedish locals.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.
