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 Bar-B-Que 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 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 grounds in Europe.
What to Expect
This tour offers a combination of easy terrain and moderate hills and is ideal for beginners and experienced cyclists. Our VBT support vehicle is always available for those who would like assistance with the hills.

We've taken 16 VBT trips and the Scandinavia trip is definitely in the top two or three trips we've taken with them. Whoever laid this trip out really knew what they were doing. Great biking, three beautiful and most interesting cities: Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Helsinki, ferry ride experiences, the Stockholm Archipelago, great hotels, good food, incredible museums and wonderful guides who really knew the area and culture. This trip is one of VBT's very best and it won't surprise me to see it become their signature trip!
Cycling Scandinavia: Copenhagen to Stockholm
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
