Scandinavia: Denmark & Sweden
If you’re not familiar with the Swedish Riviera, it’s a thing. The sandy beaches of Torekov and Båstad have long been the summer haven of Sweden’s social elite—and the shoreline drips with opulence and distinctive Swedish charm. Starting in Denmark, your local leaders will introduce you to the region’s heritage in regal settings—including a visit to Helsingør, the castle said to be the setting of Shakepeare’s Hamlet. Cycle easy paths through the pristine forests of Småland, returning to an ancient manor house that’s been a frequent retreat of Swedish royalty for centuries. Your leaders will be delighted to introduce you to traditional Swedish folklore during a festive evening of song and dance—and of course a boisterous, and delicious, Swedish barbecue that’s nothing like anything you could ever experience back home.
Tour Highlights
- Discover the bike-friendly culture of two of Scandinavia’s most fascinating countries: Denmark and Sweden.
- Cycle past magnificent sea views on easy coastal routes, including the Kattegattleden bike path—Europe’s Cycle Route of the Year in 2018.
- Explore Hamlet’s moody castle of Elsinore on a guided tour, then ferry across the narrow Öresund Strait to Sweden.
- Tour Norrviken Gardens, widely regarded as Sweden’s most beautiful garden and consistently ranked among the most captivating in Europe.
- Savor the flavors of Scandinavia—from farm-fresh lunches and traditional Swedish fika to a scenic picnic at the Viking burial grounds of Dagshög, capped by a festive farewell barbecue with folkloric music.

The best Swedish tour guides, Pernilla & Philip. Nice bikes, nice hotels, good food, great trip!
Wonderful cycling through Scandinavia!
VBT has done it again. For over 20 years, my wife and I have been taking bicycle trips. We had long been hoping that VBT, our favorite tour company, would add a trip to Scandinavia. When we found out about this new trip last year, we signed up within days. It did not disappoint. Our leaders were friendly, knowledgeable and always ready to help. We had nice weather. Our mid-September departure had temperatures in the mid to upper 60s, and occasionally in the 70s. The rides were beautiful. We usually ride road bikes, but were glad to be on hybrids because there were some gravel surfaces and even a few miles of dirt road. The local people were a bit reserved, but quite friendly when approached. English is widely understood and spoken in Scandinavia. We chose to do both the pre trip in Copenhagen and post trip in Helsinki. We are glad we did. The evening cruise to Helsinki through the Stockholm archipelago was stunningly beautiful.
