SwedenWith a population of only 9 million, Sweden is a
small but mesmerising country known for its
snow-capped mountains, glaciers, U shaped
Valleys, incredible Northern lights sightings,
huskies and reindeer. There’s a lot of history in the
country and the populace has preserved it
wonderfully. The countryside boasts pine, spruce
and birch forest as far as the eye can see and
crystal-clear lakes perfect for a summer afternoon
dip – not to mention possibly the purest air you’ll
ever breathe.
Stockholm
Sweden’s capital city spreads out over 14 islands in
Lake Mälaren and looks out proudly to the Baltic
Sea to the east. Home to grand public buildings,
palaces, rich cultural history and museums, you can
experience the country’s 700 year-old history with
ease.
Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the Old
Town (Gamla Stan); expect and get cobblestone
streets, crooked but beautifully preserved
buildings, the Royal Palace, gothic churches and
excellent cafés, bars, restaurants and Swedish
design-ware shops. Take our advice and get a hit of
ca�eine at one of Stockholm’s many �ne cafés
before trawling the boutiques, shops and stores of
upscale Swedish and international design
boutiques of Östermalm, and independent Swedish
labels, vintage and retro shops and boutiques of
Södermalm. If you’re a fan of Steig Larsson’s
Millennium Trilogy books and movies Södermalm is
the place to be.

Located in the fashionable Södermalm district,
this the perfect base from which to explore the
buzzing city of Stockholm. Contemporary and
immaculately designed, the hotel is spacious,
light and airy and o�ers stunning views across
Stockholm. Not only that, but you are within
walking distance from the Skanstull Metro Station
making the city easily accessible.
Rooms are comfortable and cleanly decorated with
all the modern �xtures and facilities you would
expect from a city centre hotel.
The in-house restaurant Upstairs Bar & Restaurant
o�ers both lunch and dinner, and has a lively bar
where co�ee and cocktails are served. During the
warm summer months, guests can enjoy an aperitif
on the outdoor terrace.

history and surroundings. For those who want to
defy the cold and get the best view of the city,

rugs and �eece blankets and sip some Swedish
Glögg, a traditional hot mulled wine and watch
the city pass you by.

Swedish rail company SJ o�ers one of the most modern night train services in Europe. While you travel

Located 200km north of the Arctic Circle and
Sweden’s most northerly town, you’ll experience
natural phenomenon such as the Northern lights and
midnight sunshine. The remote town is home to only
23,000 people and much of the Sami culture is
preserved here through the active use of the North
Sami language. With miles of countryside, Kiruna is
great for hunting, �shing, climbing and skiing.

A hotel in demand which books up far in advance can now be booked for December through to March
with Fleetway. Located in the Swedish Lapland on the river Torne in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi,
and constructed entirely out of ice, this iconic hotel is an exciting way to experience Sweden. 200km
north of the Arctic Circle, it remains one of the most stylish hotels in the world. The hotel melts in the
spring time into the river Torne, meaning that each year the hotel is built with a di�erent design, so only
you and a select few will see the hotel in exactly the same way.
Inside, is a true spectacle. Guests have reported to have seen elaborate ice sculptures such as giant
elephants, whimsical unicorns and peacocks whose feathers have been enhanced with di�erent
coloured lightbulbs. The hotel is also home to an authentic Swedish restaurant which serves up
delicacies including reindeer, elk, grouse & Artic char. There’s also an ice bar for a casual drink and a
champagne bar for those looking for more sophistication.
As part of this incredible experience, you’ll spend one night in a warm room and another sleeping on ice.
The room is kept at -5°C and your bed is entirely sculpted out of ice laden with a reindeer blanket. You’ll
be given a head to toe snow suit to keep you warm.
Although this is a holiday �lled with activities such as seeing the northern lights, dog sledding and
mountain treks, snow and ice has a wonderful way of dissolving the noise and inducing a quiet, calm and
serene environment. This really is a trip to tick o� your bucket list.
