Sweden

Discover vibrant cities, stunning natural landscapes, and the enchanting Northern Lights in comfort and style

Sweden, a land of endless forests, shimmering lakes, and charming cities, is best explored by its efficient and scenic rail network. Start your journey in Stockholm, the vibrant capital spread across 14 islands, where the medieval old town of Gamla Stan invites you to wander through its narrow cobblestone streets, past colorful buildings and royal palaces. From Stockholm, hop on a train to Gothenburg, Sweden’s second-largest city, known for its Dutch-style canals, bustling fish markets, and the splendid Liseberg amusement park.

The true magic of Sweden lies in its natural landscapes, which are beautifully accessible by train. The Inlandsbanan railway offers a breathtaking ride through the heart of Sweden’s wilderness, passing through dense forests, pristine lakes, and charming villages. In winter, take the Arctic Circle Train to Kiruna, where you can witness the ethereal Northern Lights or stay in the world-famous Icehotel. The scenic routes offer a unique opportunity to experience Sweden’s vast, untouched beauty, from the coastal archipelagos to the mountainous north.

Beyond the stunning vistas, Swedish trains offer a comfortable and efficient travel experience. Enjoy panoramic views from spacious seats, dine on locally-sourced delicacies in the dining car, and experience the warmth of Swedish hospitality. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit Uppsala, with its historic university and grand cathedral, or venture further to Malmö, connected to Copenhagen by the iconic Öresund Bridge. Sweden’s rail journeys are not just about the destination, but the serene and scenic ride that makes getting there half the fun.
