Stockholm

Stockholm is the nation’s capital and, therefore, a must-visit location. There is always plenty to do and see around town.

Vasa Museum

The Vasa Museum in Stockholm is visited by over a million people annually, making it Sweden’s most popular museum.

Among many other treasures, the museum houses the famous Vasa battleship, which sat on the ocean’s bottom for over three centuries. In 1961 it was heroically salvaged and put on display for the world to enjoy. 

Gamla Stan

Gamla Stan is a tiny island located in Stockholm’s Old City Center. The small town is full of cobbled streets, bright and colorful 17th-18th century buildings, shops, and tea rooms, and visitors can enjoy shopping, eating, and the beautiful views of the city. 

Drottningholm Palace

Drottningholm Palace, the private residence of the Swedish royal family, is a 45-minute boat ride away from Stockholm. A day trip to the Palace is ideal for history and architecture buffs.

You can also visit the Drottningholm Court Theatre in addition to the Palace and the stunning landscaped gardens.

The Court Theatre is still used for performances, especially during summer. There is also a Theatre Museum, where visitors can see period pieces from different plays that have been performed there.

Stockholm Archipelago, Stromma Boat Tours

Fun fact – there are more than 30,000 islands in the archipelago!

Many of the boat tours also stop for lunch, sightseeing, as well as at some shopping destinations where visitors can purchase souvenirs. 

Skåne

With the highest rate of Beds & Breakfast places in Sweden, the Skåne region is really all about romance! A few hundred years ago, Skane was a province for rich Danes who built their majestic castles and fortifications all over the region. It’s estimated more than 140 remain today! You will also be able to explore forests, beaches, and charming cities. Also, Danemark is just a few kilometers away, and you can get there by drive, train, or have a romantic boat trip!

Mariefred is a very cute and charming medieval town just an hour away from Stockholm. Once you get there, you will be amazed by the beauty of the traditional wooden house, local handcraft shops, and quaint cafés. Although you could get there by car, we recommend taking the boat to amplify the romance factor! In Mariefred there is something for everyone, you can just wander in the streets to admire this town’s beauty, but you could also visit the gorgeous Gripsholm Castle or the Railway museum (which holds the best collections of narrow gauge passenger cars in the world). If you are lucky, you might stumble upon the actor Dolph Lundgren who owns a summer house in Mariefred.

Visby is a beautiful town on the island of Gotland. It is surrounded by a medieval defensive wall, now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Add the cobblestone streets and medieval homes, visiting this town is like traveling through history.
