Where to go walking in Sweden

“Be prepared for some early starts and long days and the necessity to make time-sensitive connections with boats, ferries buses and taxi transfers. Also, be aware that Sweden is outrageously expensive for eating out – be sure to factor that in!” – Felicity Bond

“We very much enjoyed tramping along the well-marked Soderlandsleden trail which leads through the woods; exploring the islands at Stendorren and Savo; seeing creatures we hadn't seen before, such as a slow worm, an otter, a white-tailed sea eagle; and learning about the Baltic Sea at Naturum visitor centre. I’d also recommend lounging in the saunas in Nynashamn; jazz evenings in one of the restaurants in Nynashamn; paddling and bathing in the Baltic at Natarro and Alo; the fast boat trip from Savo; and the sedate boat journey on the MS Flora.” – Bronwen Davies

“We particularly enjoyed the first three days walking to and around Trosa. The walks through forests, along the coast and around islands were quite varied and really lovely. They provided a fantastic start to our holiday and a memorable introduction to the Stockholm archipelago.” – Sharon Reardon

“Make sure you arrive the day before the holiday starts, or stay an extra day at the end, to take up the suggestions for walking in or near Stockholm itself: we took up the Eco Park option and spent a day walking in Djurgarten, unwinding from our journey to Stockholm, catching a glimpse of deer in the park, and seeing another side of the city, before setting out on our trip.” – Bronwen Davies
