Sweden is thinly populated with about 10-million inhabitants, in spite of the fact that it is Northern Europe’s largest country. This makes exploring its countryside more accessible due to a policy entitled ‘Allemansratt’, which means ‘every man’s right (to access nature)’. In other words, everyone in Sweden has open and free access to the majestic nature that the country has to offer, given that you respect the land.
Therefore the few cities that are within the country each hold their own unique importance to the lands surrounding it. The country’s largest cities are Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo, which are all located in the Southern section of the country.
The majority of the country is unexploited and untouched. Explore it on any one of the varied tours offered, and take in the incredible such as nature and architecture!

Sweden Tours from Stockholm
Being the cultural hub of the country, as well as the Capital city, Stockholm is often regarded as the ‘Venice of the North’! This owes to its archipelago of islands and waterways that cut the city into different and distinct parts.
Fortunately, a Royal Canal Tour of the city is available to view all the city’s varying characteristics. An audio guide will aid you in grasping the layout of the canals, as well as educate you about the history of the country.
What’s more is that on this Sweden tour you can treat yourself to some refreshments while viewing the colorful city, and participate in Fika culture by having a cup of coffee with your travel buddy!
The tour spans 1-hour and will show you how the locals make use of the canals in their daily travel! Should 1-hour be too short, you also have the option to make this a full-day tour.
