ARCHIPELAGOES, LAKES AND ISLANDS

The water is an essential part of the many picturesque Swedish picture book landscapes. We recommend a trip along the rocky Swedish West coast and a visit to the car-free island of Marstrand. Enjoy an archipelago cruise from Stockholm and explore the East coast of Sweden in depth. The tranquil city of Karlskrona in the southeast is also preceded by a beautiful archipelago, which can be explored during a trip combined with trips to Kalmar and Öland. A trip to Vättern, Sweden's second largest lake, is also recommended. In addition to its charming location on Lake Vättern, the charming town of Gränna situated at the foot of Gränna mountain and is characterized by its steep streets and old wooden houses. Visingö, a small cozy island in the middle of Lake Vättern, is also accessible by a small ferry from Gränna for a leisurely day trip.

GÖTA-CANAL

The Göta Canal flows through Sweden and connects the North and Baltic Seas. It is one of the largest and most impressive construction projects in Sweden! The 58 locks of the canal are spread over a distance of 190 km. Whether by bike, on a leisurely boat trip or on one of the beautiful hiking trails - there are many ways to discover the Göta Canal. A visit to one of the locks should not be missed!

CITIES, CASTLES AND GARDENS

The Swedish cities such as Gothenburg and Malmö attract a lot of visitors every year, as does the popular capital Stockholm. Built on 14 islands, the city is considered the "Venice of the North", therefore a canal tour is an absolute must for all Stockholm visitors. In addition, the city offers a variety of cultural experiences such as the ABBA Museum, the Vasa Museum and the Royal Castle. A visit to the fairytale palaces and gardens such as Gripsholm in Mariefred or Sofiero in Helsingborg are also Royal highlights.
