Sweden Package 9 Days 8 Nights

Eight nights and nine days sits between a quick city break and a full Scandinavian tour, and it opens up two quite different trips. The first is a city route through Gothenburg (Göteborg), Malmö, Uppsala and Stockholm, with two or three nights in each. The second is a northern lights journey that links Stockholm with Oslo or the Arctic, which is why several 8 night itineraries are built for winter.

If you travel in summer, from May to September, you get long evenings for walking Stockholm's Gamla Stan, cycling in Malmö and exploring Gothenburg's harbour. For aurora viewing, the season in Swedish Lapland runs roughly from late September to March, and you should pack for temperatures well below zero. Decide which of the two you want before choosing an itinerary, as the routes barely overlap.

Indian passport holders must hold a Schengen visa to enter Sweden. Processing generally takes about 15 working days from submission and can stretch in peak months, so do not leave it late. A 9 day plan suits honeymooners, photographers chasing the northern lights and travellers who want Sweden with a taste of Norway.
