Stockholm Short Break

Today let’s travel to the beautiful country of Sweden! After landing in Stockholm Arlanda airport, let’s meet our local guide before boarding our coach to travel toward our centrally located hotel.

Let’s discover the rich history, charming streets, and iconic landmarks of Stockholm's city centre on a captivating half-day guided walking tour. Let’s begin our journey in Gamla Stan, Stockholm's Old Town, where cobbled streets and colourful buildings transport us back in time. The tour ends in front of the Royal Palace, so we can attend the Changing of the Guard ceremony.

You’ll have free time to enjoy the city at your own pace. Enjoy a stroll along Drottninggatan, the shopping street of Stockholm or indulge yourself in a traditional Swedish fika (coffee break) at a cozy cafe, where you can sample delicious pastries and mingle with locals. Our local expert guide will be happy to give you recommendations to suit your taste.

This morning let’s explore more with a boat trip excursion with our guide around Stockholm’s archipelago, a labyrinth of over 30,000 islands, islets, and skerries scattered across the sparkling Baltic Sea. The tour offers us another point of view on the city, as we venture into the vast expanse of the archipelago, where every island boasts its own unique charm and character. Throughout our tour, our expert guide shares fascinating stories, local legends, and insights into the archipelago's rich history and cultural heritage. Let’s keep our eyes peeled for wildlife sightings and try to spot seals basking on rocky shores.

Enjoy some further free time at leisure this afternoon. We recommend taking time to explore Stockholm’s most iconic metro stations, each with their own unique design.

Today is free to spend as you wish! Stockholm has endless museums and sites to visit, from the Royal Palace to the City Hall with its unique National Romantic Style, where the Nobel prize dinner and ball is still held every year. Of course, you can’t go to Sweden without hearing of Abba and their dedicated museum on Djurgården island. If you’re looking for something older, that island also host the Vasa Museum, entirely dedicated to this nearly intact ship from the 17th century. Finally, if you’re more interested in Swedish Nature and History, don’t miss the Skansen open-air museum with its Scandinavian Zoo where you can observe buffalos, moose, reindeers and other polar creatures.

Depart our hotel to Stockholm Arlanda Airport for our return flight.
