Overview

Trip Overview

Venture inside the Arctic Circle for this unforgettable 5-day Sweden vacation to Kiruna and Abisko before exploring Sweden's capital, Stockholm.

Begin in the heart of Kiruna, a realm of dramatic mountain landscapes, midnight sun-draped summer nights, dancing northern lights, and winter dog sledding tours. Embark on an early morning dog sled tour to kick off your Sweden trip, riding through the sparkling winter Lapland landscape powered by excited huskies guiding you along secluded forest trails. Stop at a traditional Sami lavvu midway through your adventure to warm up around a roaring fire with a warm mug of hot chocolate or coffee and delicious apple cake. 

Take a short train ride to the village of Abisko, often within the auroral oval, offering high chances for incredible northern lights tours and viewing opportunities. See for yourself during your exclusive dinner at the Aurora Sky Station near the peak of Mount Nuolja, one of the best places in the world to watch the northern lights. Your tour begins with a beautiful ride in the chairlift up the mountain, immersing you in the secluded and dark night sky, soon to be brought to life with dancing green hues. Enjoy a delicious three-course dinner on your arrival with two exclusive guided tours and warm drinks throughout your unforgettable evening. 

Continue to Stockholm's stunning waterfront views, cobblestone streets, and colourful buildings and spend your final two days in Sweden exploring this historic and innovative Nordic capital. Enjoy a scenic and informative private-guided tour of Stockholm, visiting the city's best historical sites and Old Town with several stops at incredible panoramic viewpoints throughout.
