Self guided cycling tours around Stockholm – 1 Day and more

Discover the surroundings of Stockholm at your own rhythm from your bike on this self guided (or guided) excursion. This trip will take you through beautiful and typical Swedish countryside landscapes filled with only nature and red cottages, as well as archipelago scenic routes. The different options are designed to fit every cyclist wether you are looking for a day trip out of the city or a longer and more physical journey reaching further out. 

ONE DAY

The one day cycling trip we’ve designed is a great idea if you are happy to bike for 2 to 4 hours with some nice breaks to rest the legs. After meeting us at our office and equipping yourself with the right bike and helmet, we’ll show you the way to the train station. You’ll then get to the start of the trip after 30 minutes by public train. Once there, the real biking trip will start and will take your through open fields where you might spot a deer or two, some deeper pine forest smelling good of warm pine needles, lakeside roads where you’ll wanna stop for a refreshing dip, and a few red cottages topped by the classic Swedish flag. At the end of day when you’ve completed the route, you’ll take the train back into town and we’ll wait for you at the office with a cold and well deserved beer!
