      Day 1: Malmo

      Individual arrival, e.g. via Trelleborg to Malmo, the picturesque "largest small town" on the Oresund. The city center lives mainly around the "Lilla Torget" (small market square), a striking landmark of the city is the Oresund Bridge and the skyscraper "Turning Torso". The Malmohus, the oldest preserved Renaissance castle in Scandinavia (optional), is a testimony to the cityโ€™s former glory. The city also offers ideal conditions for exploring by bike thanks to its cycle paths, short distances to the individual sights and small differences in altitude. One night in Malmo.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Malmo - Blekinge Region
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Malmo - Blekinge Region

      Itโ€™s worth making a detour to Ystad, made famous by Henning Mankell. In the hometown of his main character Kurt Wallander, you will find proud half-timbered houses and can enjoy a "fika" (coffee break) in the cozy market square Stortorget. Continue to your next maritime overnight stop. On the way you can visit the beautiful cliffs in Kaseberga with the Viking ship settlement "Ales Stenar" (optional) or make a stop in the heath landscape and beautiful beaches in Stenshuvud National Park. 2 nights in the Blekinge region. Approx. 265 km/approx. 3.5 hours via Ystad (breakfast).

  • Day 3 Day 3: Karlskrona
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Karlskrona

      Swedenโ€™s only baroque town Karlskrona is built on 33 islands. The Naval Museum (admission free) provides an insight into the past of the interesting naval port, which, together with historic buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The historic fortress completes the cityscape. Karlskrona is also an ideal starting point for excursions to the south-eastern tip of Sweden. Various boat trips (optional) depart daily from the fish market (Fisketorget in Swedish), e.g. to the islands of the offshore archipelago. (Breakfast).

  • Day 4 Day 4: Karlshamn - Oskarshamn
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Karlshamn - Oskarshamn

      Along the picturesque coast you reach the Nordic Union City of Kalmar with Scandinaviaโ€™s largest Renaissance castle. We recommend a stop in Timmernabben, a few kilometers north of Kalmar, with a visit to the candy factory and Gabriellโ€™s ceramics. From there, a round trip to Oland, the "other Sweden", is ideal (approx. 150 km extra). Lots of sun, beautiful beaches and an unusual, almost Mediterranean-like nature characterize the island. Landmarks are the very romantic windmills. As the island is 137 km long but only 4-16 km wide, the sea breeze almost always whistles across the land. Back on the mainland, the typically small Smaland town of Oskarshamn lies charmingly on the east Swedish coast. This is the gateway to the island of Gotland, a popular vacation destination for Swedes. One night in Oskarshamn. Approx. 185 km/approx. 2.5 hours (breakfast).

  • Day 5 Day 5: Oskarshamn - Norrkoping
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Oskarshamn - Norrkoping

      We recommend a detour to Vimmerby today. Follow in the footsteps of the famous author Astrid Lindgren, who spent her childhood in this town with its small wooden houses, winding alleyways and cobbled streets. Visit "Astrid Lindgrenโ€™s World" (optional), where famous locations such as Villa Kunterbunt are brought back to life and the various stories are presented on stage, or learn more about the authorโ€™s life through interesting exhibitions in "Astrid Lindgrenโ€™s Nas". Continue to Soderkoping and cross the Gota Canal. Here time seems to stand still and you experience dense forests, green meadows and red and white Swedish houses in a wonderful atmosphere. Continuing along the coast, you reach Norrkoping. The square "Gamla Torget" forms the city center. Here, historic houses from the 18th and 19th centuries adorn the townscape. In addition, two parks, the art museum and small shops invite you to stroll through the town. One night in Norrkoping. Approx. 170 km/approx. 2.5 hours (breakfast).

Promenades along Nybrokai invite you to go shopping. Stockholmers call the street Fjallgatan on the northern bank of Sodermalm the "balcony of Stockholm". In addition to a magnificent view of the city with the old town Gamla Stan, the southern part of the city is lined with brightly colored wooden houses from the 18th and 19th centuries and narrow, picturesque alleys. In the middle of the crowds, just outside Stockholmโ€™s city limits on the island of Lidingo, is the Gesamtkunstwerk by sculptor Carl Milles (1875-1955). Overlooking Stockholm, the Millesgarden is situated above the bay of Vartan and is reminiscent of an Italian Renaissance garden. (Breakfast).
