Tour

Travel early, because it's worth it. From Arlanda Airport you can reach the city center with its many sights by Arlanda Express or bus.

In the morning you cycle along Lake Mälaren to the island of Lovön, where the UNESCO World Heritage Drottningholm Castle awaits you. Take your time to visit this beautiful building with its enchanting location directly on the lake, the small "China Castle", the castle theater and the magnificent castle park. Afterwards, the tour continues by bike to Södermalm. The former working-class district is now inhabited by hipsters and designers. Through the old town Gamla Stan with its cobbled alleys, crooked houses and beautiful cafes you cycle back to the hotel.

Today's stage takes you to the archipelago at the gates of Stockholm. The idyllic small town is the "capital of the archipelago". Small stores, restaurants and a stately fortress from the 16th century await you. Today you have enough time to see everything at your leisure, because the return trip is by ferry (approx. 60 min, not included).

Today you will first cycle to the World Heritage Site Skogskyrkogarden (Forest Cemetery), a significant example of the fusion of architecture and cultural landscape according to UNESCO. Take time to visit the visitor center. The day's destination is the seaside resort of Saltsjöbaden. On the way back, drive through Erstavik Nature Park back to Stockholm.

Today is dedicated to nature and culture. On the island of Djurgarden you will find a large number of museums (e.g. Abba Museum, Vasa Museum). On the way you will also find Skansen, the oldest open-air museum in the world and Prince Eugene's Waldemarsudde Art Museum. Afterwards you cycle over the northern foothills of Djurgård past Ulriksdal Castle with the orangery, castle chapel and rococo theater.

After breakfast your beautiful trip in and around Stockholm ends. We are happy to book extra nights for you.
