Discover Sweden, where nature and creativity go hand in hand
Sweden is a country of contrasts. A fusion of impressive medieval castles with the most sophisticated urban design; of endless forests and snow-capped mountains with state-of-the-art technology; of solstice celebrations with the Nobel Prize; and of traditional craftsmanship with the most modern and iconoclastic art. This road trip will let you discover the two sides of Sweden, an ideal country for driving enthusiasts, with quiet roads that snake through stunning locations, where each break from the wheel is a true pleasure. You'll get to see the cities that laid the foundations of what is now the Swedish state, such as Uppsala and its Viking vestiges, or Sigtuna and its medieval churches and fortresses. And you'll also explore the modern and vibrant cities that have placed Sweden at the top of the list of world democracies. These include the capital Stockholm, a city where one-third of its surface is covered by waterways and another third by green spaces; Gothenburg, which has its own personality that sets it apart from the rest of the country; and Västerås, an eminently industrial city that in recent years has become a tourist hotspot. Gastronomy is another of the strong points of Sweden, as the freshest ingredients possible are used to create dishes that masterfully fuse tradition and modernity. Discover Sweden, where nature and tradition coexist harmoniously with cutting-edge modernity and creativity.

Important remarks
- Take advantage at the first hour of the day to get the Stockholm tourist card "Stockholm Pass" at their multiple sales points, most Pressbyrån kiosks, 7-Eleven , some hotels and municipal tourist offices. This will allow you to free access to more than 60 attractions such as museums, tourist attractions, boat tours and unlimited trips on the "hop on-hop off" buses. We recommend purchasing the option of 24 hours or the 48 hours, depending on the time you have set aside for discovering the charms of the capital of Sweden. The price of this tourist card for the 24 hours option ranges between 645-770 crowns (65-75 euros) for adults and 323-408 crowns (30-40 euros) for children (6-15 years), while for the 48 hours it ranges between 845-1,095 crowns (85-95 euros) for adults and 423-588 crowns (40-50 euros) for children (6-15 years). It can also be purchased via the Internet. You will also receive a free city guide when you pick up the card at the destination or when you receive it at home.

All drivers, regardless of nationality, have to pay at the Swedish tolls.
- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
