Lapland pulls you right into its winter magic with activities our TourRadar customers talk about again and again. You'll get to lead your own team of huskies through snowy forests or take it slow behind reindeer across quiet white landscapes - these are the experiences that really make the trip special. Many of our travelers have caught the Northern Lights dancing across the Arctic sky, and while Santa's Village in Rovaniemi is worth visiting, you'll want to time it right to avoid the biggest crowds. The sweet spot for winter activities runs from December through March, with January and February giving you the best shot at seeing those lights. We've found that 3-4 days lets you soak in the full experience, and travelers especially love staying in glass igloos or ice hotels for that real Arctic feeling.
See all Lapland toursArctic expeditions come in two distinct varieties that our travelers keep telling us about. If you're drawn to Greenland's dramatic scenery, you'll paddle past massive icebergs in crystal waters and walk across ancient glaciers with professional equipment - the sound of ice crunching beneath your feet is something quite special. The other option takes you down the Dempster Highway where the Arctic wilderness really shows itself through regular wildlife sightings and endless tundra stretching to the horizon. You should know these aren't luxury tours - expect basic camping conditions, pack essential gear like headlamps for moving around after dark and plan for simple but genuine Arctic meals. Our past guests particularly love photographing wildlife in their natural habitat, especially polar bears, and many can't stop talking about experiencing the midnight sun during summer trips.

Travel Sweden your way
We run a fantastic route through six major spots in Scandinavia, starting in Copenhagen's Nyhavn with its painted houses and winding through the Swedish city of Malmo. Our travelers really get into the local vibe, especially when they hop on bikes with Copenhagen guides who know all the hidden corners. Over in Sweden, there's some proper walking involved but people tell us it's worth it - you get to see both city life and wild nature up close. Everyone seems to love stopping for fika (that's Swedish coffee and cake) in Alingsas; it's this perfect moment to slow down and chat with locals.

Intrepid's Scandinavian tours offer decent value for travelers wanting to explore the region without breaking the bank, though feedback from our customers points to some inconsistencies. The accommodation quality varies between locations, and some travelers mentioned hiccups with luggage transfers during their trips. What really stands out are the tour leaders - particularly Jens, Ugne, Nikolai and also Dushan who've received lots of positive mentions from our TourRadar travelers. They bring solid organizational skills and genuine enthusiasm to their groups, helping smooth over any rough spots that pop up with hotels or scheduling. The pace can be a bit demanding for some folks, but that's fairly typical for tours trying to cover significant ground in Scandinavia. Where the hotels might be basic in certain stops, the guides make up for it by creating those special local moments that stick with you - whether that's finding a hidden café in Copenhagen or knowing exactly when to catch the best light for photos in the Norwegian fjords. Most TourRadar customers tell us they walk away with great memories despite the occasional bumps, largely thanks to those standout guides who know how to handle the practical details while keeping the group's energy up.
Best places to start your Sweden tour
Stockholm is where most people kick off their Swedish adventure - about 25 of our recent travelers started there. Saint Anna Archipelago and Lulea up north are becoming more popular starting points too, and some folks choose Copenhagen or Oslo if they want to see multiple countries. Looking at our booking data, you'll want to lock in your tour around 67 days before you plan to go, especially for summer trips. This gives you enough time to get the dates and hotels you want, though keep in mind some places have pretty simple accommodation. Our customers love how easy it is to get around between cities using public transport - it really opens up your options for exploring. If you're after a more local experience, try coming in May or September; the weather's still nice, there are fewer tourists around and you might score better deals on hotels.
Sweden tours for every type of group
Who are you traveling with?
Group
36 tours in SwedenSwedish group tours offer two distinct experiences that draw social travelers looking to connect. Winter adventures in Lapland bring people together through shared experiences like snowshoeing in pristine wilderness, mastering winter survival skills, and gliding through snow-covered forests by dog sled while searching for the Northern Lights. Our TourRadar customers often mention guides Jens, Ugne and also Nikolai, who excel at creating bonds between travelers even in challenging conditions. The city-focused route starts in Stockholm, winds through Swedish cultural sites and connects travelers through guided walks in Gamla Stan, visits to the Vasa Museum and plenty of independent exploration time. You'll find yourself sharing coffee breaks with newfound friends in traditional cafes, capturing photos of Copenhagen's colorful Nyhavn harbor and wandering off to discover hidden spots between scheduled activities. The centrally positioned hotels make it simple to extend your time with travel companions after each day's organized events, letting natural friendships develop at their own pace.
Small Group
22 tours in SwedenSmall-group tours through Sweden blend city exploration with wilderness immersion at a deliberate pace. Our TourRadar customers particularly value the 5-6 day self-guided kayaking expeditions in Saint Anna Archipelago, where groups navigate through thousands of untouched islands, watching white-tailed eagles soar overhead as grey seals surface in the outer waters. The 6-destination Scandinavian journey begins in Copenhagen's vibrant Nyhavn, crosses the Oresund Bridge, and winds through Swedish coastal communities. Local touches define these tours - from traditional fika coffee breaks in Alingsas, guided bicycle rides through Copenhagen's hidden pathways, and also kayaking around Vrango Island. While the accommodations lean toward simple comfort, guides like Jens, Ugne and also Nikolai bring depth to each experience through their regional expertise and seamless planning. Groups connect naturally during shared moments, whether wild camping on secluded archipelago islands, exploring Stockholm's medieval lanes, or taking time to wander independently between structured activities.
Private / Personalized
28 tours in SwedenPrivate tours open up Sweden's wild spaces and urban culture in unique ways. Our archipelago cycling adventures let you pedal through Tyresta National Park's ancient forests and explore remote islands like Utö at your own speed.

The Northern Lights tours in Swedish Lapland are perfect for meeting other independent travelers - our solo guests often tell us they've made lasting friendships while out Aurora hunting, learning winter survival skills and snowshoeing through untouched wilderness. City tours in Stockholm give you a good mix of structure and freedom - you'll get your bearings with guided walking tours and central hotels, then have plenty of time to explore those hidden corners that make solo travel so rewarding.
Sweden offers such great contrasts for couples - you can spend cozy winter nights in a treehouse hotel looking out over snowy forests, or head out kayaking in summer to find your perfect private camping island. Many pairs choose to navigate the archipelago's thousands of islands together on self-guided trips, combining both adventure and quiet moments. Winter in Lapland adds special touches like working with ice sculptures, relaxing in traditional saunas and watching for Northern Lights from unique spots. The Baltic cruises between capital cities give you an elegant way to experience Swedish and also Finnish culture, with comfortable cabins and excellent dining included.
Our younger travelers love getting active in the archipelago - especially on self-guided kayaking trips where we provide quality gear and they set their own pace. They often tell us about camping wild on different islands and trading stories with sailors at the rustic Missjö pub. The Lapland winter programs draw plenty of young adventurers too, mixing up dogsledding and snowmobiling with Northern Lights photography and chances to meet fellow travelers from all around the globe.
Our mature travelers appreciate how we've structured the Scandinavian tours to blend city experiences and countryside visits at a comfortable pace. You'll stay in good hotels while exploring highlights like Copenhagen's Nyhavn harbor and Stockholm's Gamla Stan. The Swedish route includes proper time for traditional fika coffee breaks in Alingsas and visits to historic coastal settlements. Many guests particularly enjoy walking tours through Stockholm and Copenhagen where local experts share stories about the architectural heritage and also city history.
Our family trips to Swedish Lapland really shine in winter - kids get excited about walking on frozen sea during icebreaker cruises and actually swimming among ice floes. Meeting the huskies is always a highlight before families head out sledding through snow-covered forests, and those evening Aurora hunts create some really special family memories. Summer brings gentler options in the archipelago where families can paddle between islands, spot white-tailed eagles and find their own private beach for camping. For city exploration, we've set up Stockholm tours that work well with kids - you can visit the Vasa Museum and old town at your own speed using flexible hop-on-hop-off passes.

- Spring 2025
Spring tours in Sweden blend city exploration with outdoor activities, as the weather warms into comfortable temperatures. Our Stockholm packages have become a favorite this season, especially since we include those handy 24-hour bus passes letting visitors explore the Vasa Museum, Royal Palace and also Gamla Stan at their own pace. The guided walking tours through Stockholm's historic quarters work especially well with spring's mild weather, and our travelers often tell us how much they enjoy finding hidden gems like the city's narrowest alley while learning local history from our expert guides. Copenhagen serves as a gateway for many spring visitors, who start by exploring Nyhavn's waterfront before taking the scenic ferry crossing to Sweden. The season's moderate climate creates perfect conditions for touring Kronborg Castle and wandering through Jönköping's peaceful lakeside paths. TourRadar customers consistently note how spring visits help them dodge the summer crowds while still enjoying ideal temperatures for both city exploration and countryside walks.

How Can Swedish Culture Come Alive During Your Visit?
You'll absolutely love experiencing fika it's this wonderful Swedish tradition where everyone takes time to enjoy coffee and treats with friends. The cafés all around Sweden are perfect spots to try it and if you're really into coffee culture head to Alingsås they're actually known as Sweden's "Capital of Fika" and their cinnamon buns and chocolate truffles are incredible.
