Surrender to the pleasures of the more traditional side to Sweden
The best way to explore Sweden is at your own pace. This unforgettable road trip offers you a full itinerary through the most typical attractions of this Scandinavian country, where ancestral traditions and crafts remain almost intact. A tour through picturesque lands covered by beautifully lush forests, towering snow-capped mountains and lakes where the blue waters lend their name to a colour, and where the vivid tones of nature share a leading role with the unmistakable red of the country's wooden houses. During the journey, you'll get to admire the beauty of picture-postcard places such as Dalecarlia, the "most Swedish of the regions" and cradle of the "dalahäst", the horse-shaped figurine that is a national symbol; or the Värmland region, which with its ten thousand lakes and endless forests is also the capital of relaxation and at-oneness with nature. You'll also learn more about Sweden's long history by visiting the Rock Carvings in Tanum, dating from the Bronze Age and listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO; the Viking remains discovered in Uppsala; and the numerous ruins and medieval castles of Sigtuna, the first officially recognised city in the country. But this tour will also give you an insight into the other side to Sweden, that of creativity, modern design, avant-garde art and ultra-sophisticated culture. You'll visit the cities of Stockholm, its vibrant capital and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe; Gothenburg, with its truly unique personality; and Västerås, which has the largest lakeside commercial port and marina in the whole of Scandinavia. Because Sweden is a place where the traditional and the modern fuse together in a truly special way.

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).

- 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.
