Sweden Package 13 Days 12 Nights

A 12 nights 13 days holiday is for travellers who want to see Sweden properly, from the southern cities to the Arctic north. In this time you can cover Stockholm, Uppsala, Gothenburg (Göteborg) and Malmö at a gentle pace and still fly or take the overnight train north to Kiruna in Swedish Lapland. Many long Nordic trips also cross into Norway, adding Oslo to the route.

The season decides the character of the trip. Between May and September the south is at its best, and above the Arctic Circle the sun barely sets around midsummer. From roughly late September to March, Kiruna and nearby Abisko are among the better places in Europe to look for the northern lights, though the southern cities are cold and dark by then. Very few ready-made itineraries run to exactly 12 nights, so expect to customise one.

Indian travellers need a Schengen visa, which generally takes about 15 working days to process after submission. If your trip also includes Norway, apply to the country where you will spend the most nights. This duration suits slow travellers, families on a long summer break and couples planning a once-in-a-lifetime Nordic holiday.
