Discover Sweden
Sweden is the second-least densely populated country in the European Union, and one of the safest. Miles of open roads await on a Sweden bike tour with VBT, taking you past rugged shorelines, picturesque farms, sparkling lakes and serene forests.
From its historic core to the sleek, modern neighborhoods boasting Sweden’s legendary innovative design, Stockholm is a wealth of cultural attractions. Explore a royal palace, wander through winding cobbled streets, or admire the minimalist design of a coffee shop in a converted warehouse. Stockholm offers the best of both the modern and the historic.
Venture outside of Sweden’s dynamic cities to discover a stunningly beautiful countryside dotted with charming fishing villages, ancient castles, sparkling lakes, and solitary beaches that stretch on for miles. Catch a glimpse of the northern lights, sail through the narrow straits of Sweden’s archipelagos, or explore the rugged wilderness of the Scandinavian Mountains.
A Sweden bike tour with VBT is the best way to experience all this Scandinavian wonder has to offer, from its natural grandeur to the Swedish style that permeates its beautifully designed cities.
Country Highlights
- Savor Swedish cuisine, including the famed smörgåsbord with local hosts.
- Cycle serene bicycle paths into Stockholm’s beloved parks of Haga and Djurgården.
- Ride along Sweden’s historic Göta Canal and view its locks.
- Explore Stockholm’s inner archipelago, old town, and manicured royal parks.
Ancient History
Sweden’s history can be traced back to the Stone Age, with dwellings and graves from this far back still being unearthed today. From Vikings to ancient kings, there are countless reminders of Sweden’s fascinating history in the form of burial mounds, ruins, and museums documenting archeological finds. History buffs will delight in tracing history so far back.
Midnight Sun
What would you do with 24 hours of straight sunlight? Visit Sweden in the summertime to find out! To experience the true Midnight Sun, you’ll have to venture to the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland, but you can take advantage of unusually long sunlight hours throughout the country in summertime.
Sámi
The Sámi people have lived in Arctic Europe since prehistoric times. Today, they maintain their rich culture and traditions. Visit a Sami village to see their traditional handicrafts, hear their unique language spoken, and maybe even visit a reindeer farm and learn about the longstanding Sámi relationship to these native creatures.

Pernilla is a Stockholm native who loves to share the history, good food, traditions, and beautiful views of Scandinavia with travelers.
I have done 9 trips with VBT so far, all have been great, but I must say this went to #1. The 2 best guides, the entire 20 guests like instant friends, with our leaders Prunella and Philip. I wish we had more time everywhere. The post trip to Helsinki was truly amazing, so glad we did it, only 4 of us went, sorry to say the others missed out. Jean Vermeeren
Scandinavia: Denmark & Sweden
This was such a great trip. Copenhagen was such a lovely city and perfect to discover by walking. Sweden was so beautiful and the biking was an exciting discovery each day. Bodhi and Philip were just wonderful as our guides - fun, professional and always helpful. We had never been to Scandinavia and this was such a lovely way to see it.
