HOLIDAYS TO SWEDEN

To holiday in Sweden is to holiday in a land of elegant cities set in a tapestry of exquisite pastoral beauty. The capital, Stockholm, is as sophisticated city as any in Europe, yet salmon are fished at its centre whilst eagles and ospreys encircle the islands of its archipelago. Sweden is a Kingdom where old and new are entwined in harmony.

In summer Sweden enjoys up to nineteen hours of daylight and the weather is frequently sunnier and drier than the UK. The Swedish countryside stretches from beech wood fringed sandy beaches in Skane north to ivory topped mountains imperiously guarding their pine and spruce forests. Clear, open roads meander through softly undulating meadows, past lakes and tiny villages marked by church spires, making driving along Sweden's roads a relaxed and scenic experience.

In winter the celebrated Ice Hotel opens its doors and Swedish Lapland is carpeted with snow providing trails for husky mushing; tracks along frozen rivers for snowmobiling and fairytale grazing grounds for reindeer and moose. You can stay in one of the Ice Hotel's exquisitely sculpted designer rooms, combine a stay there with whale watching over on the Lofoten archipelago or husky mushing in the open tundra by Jukkasjarvi. Adventures are enjoyed under a canopy of stars and the Northern Lights (hopefully).

We have a comprehensive range of tours for individual and escorted adventure holidays to Sweden. But if you can't find exactly what you are looking for either on this website or in our brochure we will happily tailor make a travel itinerary for you that's FREE of charge or obligation in the first instance.
