Your cycling tour around Stockholm
Discover Stockholm with its 14 islands and beautiful surroundings along one of Sweden’s largest lakes. Cycle through varied scenery, always accompanied by either one of the countless lakes or the sea. Learn about Swedish history from Viking times up until today and discover royal palaces such as Drottningholm Palace or Tullgarn Palace as well as picturesque small towns as Mariefred and Trosa.
Day 1 : Arrival in Stockholm
Take a first stroll through Sweden’s capital and explore some of the many sights and tourist attractions.
Day 2 : Stockholm – Södertälje | 60 km
Along Lake Mälar, Sweden’s third largest lake you cycle to UNESCO world cultural heritage Drottningholm Palace. Here, on the shore of the lake, the royal family grew up. Take your time to explore the beautiful palace as well as the Chinese Pavilion dating from the 18th century. You continue by a short ferry trip towards Södertälje. The small town and home of Scania is connected to the Baltic Sea through a lock in the Södertälje canal.
Day 3 : Södertälje – Mariefred | 45 km
Today you ride on small side roads to Gripsholm Castle. It houses the national portrait collection of over 4.000 works that trace the portrait art from the 1400s and up to the present. The castle’s history goes back to the 1370s, when Bo Jonsson Grip built a castle on a promontory which, after several expansions, became Gripsholm Castle.
Day 4 : Mariefred – Järna | 45-60 km
Today’s tour takes you right into the amazing scenery of Sörmland. At this spot countless rivers and lakes were formed due to vast tectonic movements. Nevertheless the altitude is never higher than 100m. Once you have mastered the hills you get rewarded with stunning views and a long descent. Your hotel is located beautifully at a lake in the countryside and completes this “green day” of your bike trip.
Day 5 : Järna – Trosa | 35-50 km
Your destination for the day is the idyllic Baltic Sea town of Trosa, which is also used as the setting for many “Inga Lindström” movies. Finish your day with a stroll through the picturesque village and enjoy the small alleys, red houses and wonderful views on the water.
Day 6 : Trosa – Stockholm | 55 km
Northward bound and a short ferry trip later you return to one of Stockholm’s many islands. The last part is covered by a commuter train to Stockholm. Enjoy your last overnight in thecapital with a typical Swedish dinner in one of the numerous restaurants.
