Cycle Tour in Sweden

Sweden's capital, also known as the Venice of the North, is the starting point for this trip. Picturesque landscapes, varied cuisine, outstanding cultural events – the Swedish metropolis offers a vacation for everyone. The historic old town with the royal palace forms the heart of the capital. In the evening you will have a personal introduction to your tour and if requested your rental bike will be handed over. 

At the start of the cycle tour, you ride along Lake Mälaren in a south-westerly direction to Södertälje. Sweden's third largest lake is a popular recreational area for locals. Drottningholm Palace is located on one of the many islands of the lake. The route continues past meadows and fields, occasionally through small forests, to the small town of Södertälje. It is located at the canal between Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea.

Today too, the banks of Lake Mälaren are your constant travel companion. You cycle along small side roads to Gripsholm Castle. The complex was built in the 16th century by the Swedish King Gustav I Wasa. It rose to fame to Kurt Tucholsky's novel of the same name. The important publicist lived in exile in Sweden during the 1930s. Continue to today's destination of Mariefred.

The day encapsulates the unspoiled natural landscape of the province of Sörmland: a picture-book idyll! You will encounter numerous rivers and lakes.  You'll face several climbs which are rewarded with stunning views. The small town of Järna is located between meadows, pastures and forests, close to the Baltic Sea.

Today's destination is the idyllic Baltic Sea town of Trosa. Here several popular Inga Lindström films were shot. At the beginning of the 15th century, the village was an important trading hub. The town still hold a special flair decorated with numerous flat wooden houses at the waterfront promenade. Enjoy the view of the archipelago from the waterfront.

The last cycling stage takes you back to Stockholm. In the afternoon, you can take the metro to the city center and cycle to the southern city island of Södermalm. The former working-class district has developed into a trendy area that is particularly popular with artists and students. The charm of the people of Stockholm – Scandinavian directness paired with an almost Mediterranean relaxed attitude – is particularly noticeable here.

Your cycle tour in Sweden ends today. If you still have time before your departure, you can discover the beautiful city center of Stockholm. Visit a few of the 14 islands and include the island of Djurgården. It is home to the Vasa Museum and the Skansen open-air museum. We are happy to extend your stay on request.
