Sweden is well known for its cutting edge design, stylish locals and gorgeous capital city, but the country’s true wealth is in its remarkable natural beauty. This is a unique and inspiring destination for lovers of walking in unspoiled, uncrowded nature.

Once you’ve savoured the trendy shopping and storybook charm of beautiful downtown Stockholm, you’ll want to get out and start exploring the incredible landscapes Sweden has to offer.

Fortunately, you won’t have to venture far to start, with the Royal National City Park just a stone’s throw away from Stockholm’s city centre. This vast multi-use urban wilderness area—the first of its kind in the world—offers a lush green haven of parks, woods, forests and swimming beaches and is dotted with historic fishing cabins, palatial buildings and some of Sweden’s most important museums and cultural institutions.

With its gentle terrain and idyllic scenery, you’ll want to make the most of your Swedish experience by exploring the country on foot. Enjoy an unforgettable walking experience as you hop from island to island in Stockholm's southern archipelago; and experience quintessential Swedish landscapes as you hike through the land of lakes and castles, palaces and pine forests.
