SWEDEN BIKING ITINERARY
Meatballs and modular furniture may come to mind, but
be prepared for a side of Sweden that will surprise you. We’ll
explore its tranquil islandscapes and travel deep into the
unknown corners of this striking land. We’ll dine in Stockholm
and pedal through the lake country around Mariefred, a region of
interlocking lakes, rivers and canals punctuated by pretty
little villages. Next we’ll discover the pure biking pleasures
of the Baltic Sea island of Gotland—1,700 km of flat roads,
infinite routes and historical touches. Remember, Swedes are the
inventors of such things as the computer mouse, the zipper and
the Nobel Prize. It’s only fitting that this trip should inspire
the spirit of discovery. Trip Highlights:
- Enjoy lunch and views of the sailboat marina on an
afternoon spent exploring the magnificent Stockholm
archipelago
- Take a two-wheeled sweeping tour of the countryside
around Mariefred
- Visit the immaculately preserved, UNESCO-protected town
of Visby
- Dine in a historic gubernatorial residence after a day
of riding and swimming in secluded spots along the way
- Tour the gardens of Drottningholm, the royal family's
"little residence"
Trip Length: 7 days/6 nights
Start/Finish: Stockholm/Stockholm
