Holiday Idea
Explore the snake-thin cobblestone streets of the city's oldest district, Gamla Stan in Sweden's stylish capital, before travelling north to Swedish Lapland to stay in the world's most famous frozen hotel. Dash across wilderness pulled by a team of huskies and go in search of the magical Northern Lights by snowmobile on this incredible winter adventure.
Itinerary
Day 1 | Arrive in Stockholm
Arrive in Sweden's capital city and transfer to your hotel, Downtown Camper, for an overnight stay. Why not visit the spa and wellness area? The roof-top pool, with its amazing view over Stockholm’s rooftops, is open and heated to about 38 degrees all year. Later, head out for dinner in the evening and enjoy the city at twilight. Ask us about our favourite restaurants in the city.
Day 2 | Stockholm Sightseeing
Spend today enjoying some of the sights of Stockholm. Sweden's capital is a compact and walkable city with sights distributed across all central neighborhoods. The city's funky bohemian neighborhood, Södermalm, lies south of Gamla Stan. Here you'll find no shortage of clued-in indie fashion boutiques, vintage stores, art galleries, bars, espresso labs, and music venues.
Day 3 | Arrive in Lapland & Icehotel Tour
Fly to Swedish Lapland and transfer to one of the world’s most incredible hotels, Icehotel. Check in to your Deluxe Suite for an overnight stay at –5°C. Join a guided tour of the Icehotel in the afternoon to learn about how this incredible place to stay is rebuilt every year. In the evening make your way to the restaurant for dinner before wrapping up for your night on a bed of ice.
Day 4 | Snowmobile Safari
You'll be woken this morning with a delivery of warm lingonberry juice to your room. Perhaps enjoy a relaxing sauna before breakfast. Today you will embark on a snowmobile adventure into the wilderness. Travel across the frozen Torne River, over hilly landscapes, and across ice-covered lakes. Enjoy amazing views and look out for tracks in the snow from wild animals, you may spot some arctic wildlife along the way. Return for dinner and head to your warm hotel room for an overnight stay.
Day 5 | Husky Safari & Reindeer Farm Visit
Grab the reins this morning and enjoy a dog-sledding experience. Later in the afternoon meet and feed curious reindeer and learn about the Sámi lifestyle and the indigenous people of the region. Drive a reindeer sled around a track before gathering around a fire in a traditional Sámi tent for coffee and to try the Sámi signature dish suovas.
