Tours in Sweden: Stockholm, Gothenburg and Beyond

Most tours in Sweden begin or end in one of the country's two largest cities, and both reward a few extra nights.

Stockholm

Stockholm is spread across islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. Gamla Stan, the medieval old town, and the Vasa Museum are the usual first stops, and the city works well as the start or finish of a canal cruise.

Gothenburg

Gothenburg, on the west coast, is relaxed and food-focused, with the Haga district, fresh seafood and an archipelago just offshore that you can reach by tram and ferry.

Northern Sweden

In the darker months, Swedish Lapland offers northern lights and winter activities. If that is what you are after, take a look at our northern lights tours.

What Makes a Sweden Tour Different

Sweden is a country of lakes, forests and long summer light. In June and July the days stretch late into the evening, which makes every sightseeing stop and every hour on deck feel longer. Swedes also have a daily ritual that is worth planning around: fika, a coffee-and-pastry break that is as much about slowing down as about the cinnamon bun. Add a food scene that ranges from classic meatballs to modern Nordic cooking, and you get a trip that is easy to enjoy at a relaxed pace.

Guided, Escorted and Private Sweden Tours

Travelers choose between a set itinerary and a trip built around their own dates. The tour pages above list exactly what is included, so you can compare before you book. If you want a private tour of Sweden with your own dates, pace and extra nights in Stockholm or Gothenburg, our team can plan it with you through private custom tours. Not sure whether a guided or escorted format fits you better? Tell us your dates and interests and we will suggest the right option.
