What to do and see in Stockholm, Stockholm County: The Best Multi-day Tours

May 11, 2022 Terina Blouin

The capital city of Sweden combines modern attractions with historic charm. Kick off your stay with visits to Stockholm’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Royal Palace Drottningholm (the residence of the royal family) and the magical Skogskyrkogården, or Woodland Cemetery. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Town and over the picturesque bridges that span the city’s canals. The 19th-century Skansen was the world’s first open-air museum and is still a premier place to learn about Swedish history.

Joakim is a lovely person and an exceptional guide. All the staff were friendly and professional, and we always felt very safe on the ice with Joakim. The chance to skate on natural ice was a beautiful and unique experience. Highly recommended.

The course opened my senses to how, complex, wonderful and plentiful the outdoors is. I was amazed by the amount of information and time to practice that was effectively conveyed in such a short amount of time. William the guide was impressively knowledgeable and passionate about nature and its craft, taught me the core skills of survival - shelter, water, fire, and food which has made me a bit more competent in taking care of my survival needs. After this course one will see the outdoors with new eyes – such as which plants you can eat and what trees can be turned into a fire kit while always keeping a deep and respectful relationship with nature. If you are ready to transform your experience with the outdoors, do it with True Nature Sweden

The Swedish forests are so widely spread that you hardly encounter anyone. Resourceful, beautiful and peaceful, the forest soothes, refreshes and invigorates you in no time! Wilderness and lakes of pure water cover a great part of the country. Therefore, a unique wildlife experience is possible, giving you a greater chance to spot Nordic animals such as elks, owls, beavers, deers and many more. Hiking in Sweden allows you to experience the wilderness with clearer senses, noticing smells and specific sounds due to being away from any urban distractions. In this two-day program, we bring you into the wild, across huge forests and around clear-watered lakes. We are self sufficient during the whole trip, which means camping in the wilderness and cooking our food on wood fire which we build together. We are going to progress as a team and everyone should participate to the good proceedings of the hike. Each of you need to carry your own pack of camping gear, food and personal effects.

Inclusions: Lunch, Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Pick up and drop off from central Stockholm , Your guide, Swedish Fika (coffee with cookies), Backpacks

Tour was simply awful. The only reason for giving an extra star is our drivers, who were very nice. It was a complete mess: delays. unspecified schedule, moved stops, etc. We almost got stuck at the Fjallgatan stop and only another bus delay (!) helped us to catch the last bus. Speaking with the tour management was not productive - they simply stopped speaking Emglish and walked away. The boat portion was better, but also with some unnecessary complications.
