Itinerary
Day 1 – Arrival in Stockholm
Welcome to Sweden! Begin the journey with a night in the vibrant capital. Enjoy the city’s charm at your own pace before heading into the wild. Overnight stay in a centrally located 4-star hotel.

Local tip
Head to Monteliusvägen in the late afternoon for one of the best views over Stockholm’s old town, Lake Mälaren, and the city hall. It’s a favourite spot among locals for a peaceful walk or a sunset picnic—far less crowded than the usual tourist viewpoints. Grab a coffee and kanelbulle from a nearby café in Södermalm and take your time soaking in the view. It’s especially magical in the golden hour light.
