Details of the cycling holiday around the Stockholm Loop route

Sweden is an ideal destination for cycling holidays not only proven by the quality of the cycle paths and the well-developed cycle path network. The mild, not-too-hot summer temperatures also promise the best conditions for an unforgettable cycling holiday. For seven days, you can explore the green surroundings of Stockholm, breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea, charming islands and picturesque harbours.

Along the way, you'll encounter cultural and historical treasures. Visit royal palaces such as Drottningholm Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and explore picturesque towns like Sigtuna, Sweden's oldest surviving town. Enjoy the rich history and architectural gems as you pedal through charming neighbourhoods and vibrant city streets.

The round trip leads in seven days from Stockholm to Mälaren, one of Sweden's largest lakes, through the landscape of Sörmland and along the Baltic Sea coast back to the capital. Whether you're seeking nature, culture, or a blend of both, cycling in the Stockholm region offers a rewarding and memorable experience.

Highlights of the Stockholm region cycling holiday

  • Cycling fun in Stockholm: Swedes love cycling and especially on the well-developed cycle paths throughout the country.

  • Stockholm: As the start and end point of the round trip, Stockholm scores with small cafés, green parks and the typical Nordic attitude to life. The royal family's Drottningholm Castle near the capital is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is also on the cycle route.

  • Sweden's small-town flair: Small towns like Mariefred or Trosa are reminiscent of the popular Inga Lindström films.

Itinerary

Take your first stroll through Sweden’s capital and explore some of many sights and tourist attractions.

 

Your first cycling day takes you along the third biggest lake in Sweden called ‚Mälaren’ and follows an ancient trade route dating back to the Vikings. On your way to Södertälje, on the island of Lovön, you will find Drottningholm Palace, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Situated directly at and overlooking the lake, this beautiful palace is the place where the Swedish Royal Family was raised. Also worth a visit is a Chinese Palace from the 15th century.

The cafe in the basement awaits Swedish waffles and is a perfect place for a rest. Onwards by ferry towards Södertälje where typical Swedish scenery with fields and forests will amaze you. Sturehof Palace is a great place for a lunch break. The small town of Södertälje south of Stockholm is situated at the canal between Mälaren and the Baltic Sea.

 

On quiet side roads, today’s route leads to ‚Gripsholm Palace’. Also the title of a book by Kurt Tucholsky, who lived in exile in Sweden and has found his final resting place in Mariefred. Mariefred and Gripsholm Palace are two main focal points in Royal Swedish history. Onwards to your final destination for the day, Strängnäs.

Today’s tour takes you right into the middle of untouched and remote nature reserves, through the amazing scenery of Sörmland. At this spot, countless rivers and lakes were formed due to vast tectonic movements. Nevertheless, the altitude is never higher than 100m. Once you have mastered the hills you are rewarded with stunning views and a long descent afterwards. Your hotel is located in the middle of the wonderful Swedish nature near the water.

Your destination for the day is the idyllic Baltic Sea town of Trosa, which is also used as a setting for many movies. Finish your day with a stroll through the picturesque village and enjoy the small alleys, red houses and wonderful views of the water. We recommend trying crabs, salmon or smoked fish in one of the nice, little restaurants for dinner.

Northward bound and after a short ferry trip later you return to one of Stockholm’s many islands. Top tip: take the overground ‚ S-Bahn to Stockholm centre and in the afternoon cycle on lovely flat cycle paths along the water to Stockholm’s Southern island of Södernmalm. In the evening experience the great variety of restaurants.

Departure from Stockholm or spend extra nights in the city or surrounding region.
