What's this trip about?

    Encompassing 14 islands, Stockholm is a city built on the water and bursting with culture. Its charm is no more evident than in Gamla Stan, the city's old town with cobblestone streets and deep yellow and orange buildings.  Aside from historic charm, Stockholm entices visitors with its laidback coffee culture, minimalist design shops and royal palaces. Need a break from the city? Lush green parks and calm canals are just a short ferry ride away.

Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Stockholm!

Say "hej" to Sweden! Upon arrival in Sweden's capital, make your way to your hotel to check in and then begin exploring.

A great start would be in the city's old town, Gamla Stan, an islet that's one of the largest and best preserved medieval city centers in Europe. The narrow winding cobblestone streets and gold-hued buildings give Gamla Stan its unique character. 

Day 2 Stockholm

Take advantage of your included hop-on/hop-off pass of Stockholm today! Enjoy access to many of the city's top attractions such as the Royal Palace, Nobel Prize Museum, SoFo shopping area, and much more. 

The rest of the day is yours to enjoy as you please. 

Day 3 Stockholm

Spend the day surrounded by vast expanses of forests and verdant meadows on the central, two-mile-long island of Djurgarden. Once you've breathed in the fresh clean air, head back into the city and pick up a few souvenirs.

After touring Stockholm to your heart's content, tuck into a plate of comforting Swedish meatballs!

Day 4 Depart Sweden

Your Swedish adventure comes to an end today. Make your way to Stockholm airport at the appropriate time for your flight home.
