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

Embark on a tour of Stockholm's Royal Canals! Explore the waterways that leave the city and bob by beautiful buildings until you reach the Djurgarden Canal, famous for its view over the whole city. 

The rest of the day is yours. You might walk the halls of Stockholm Palace or stroll through Skansen, an open-air museum and zoo, lined with fresh farm stands as well.

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.
