Sweden:
The Kingdom of Sweden, home of the Nobel Peace Committee, with a reputation for openness, yet discretion, is waiting for you. Baltic Travel Company offers outstanding holidays in Sweden that cover a range of activities and sights. If you haven’t been to Sweden then a short break to Stockholm is a great place to start. It is truly one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Built on 14 islands, the city blends natural and architectural beauty, together with the history of its captivating past and modern culture, to provide a cosmopolitan, memorable experience for visitors.
Combine Stockholm with a visit to the stunning island of Gotland, with its 100 nature reserves, where you can find sandy beaches, underground caves and choose from a range of activities such as canoeing, horse riding, cycling or sea fishing.  The World Heritage Site and capital, Visby, is an exquisite example of a walled (intact) medieval town with churches and towers, linked by delightful, cobbled streets. You will soon discover why Ingmar Bergman lived and made films in Visby.
We offer self-drive holidays that feature Swedish castles, manor houses and outdoor activities such as cycling, canoeing, walking or timber raft building. Many manor houses now offer a unique accommodation experience. Sweden also boasts some of Europe’s finest golf courses, in the southern provinces of Skane and Halland. Swedes have worked hard to incorporate nature into the demands of modern society. This is reflected in the architecture, city planning, accessibility of nature and dining. Don’t forget to try Swedish meatballs, gravlax, lingonberry jam or find a kraftskiva – a crayfish party!
Sweden is an outstanding winter destination, which features the original Ice Hotel in Jukkasjarvi and an excellent ski resort, Are, which has become a regular stop on the World Cup ski racing circuit. There are also plenty of opportunities for winter activities such as exhilarating snow mobile safaris or, beyond the Arctic Circle, why not try dog sledding or snow shoeing.
Take a look at some of our exciting itineraries or contact us and we will tailor a Swedish experience to match your interests.
