Overview

This is a family-orientated tour that starts in Stockholm, with its colourful architecture and unique history, before discovering tranquil nature reserves, evergreen forests and charming Swedish villages. The cycling is on quiet roads and forest tracks, which are undulating in parts, making this tour suitable for children 11 years and above with cycling experience. The tour includes chances to visit a 400-year-old castle and historic manor houses and to explore small, pretty towns with winding, narrow streets and wooden houses. Sailing back from Mariefred to Stockholm across Lake Malaren on a steamer built in 1903 is a perfect end to this unique and beautiful tour.
