Our range of Adagio leisurely walking holidays and sightseeing tours are designed at a slower pace than the average Ramblers Walking Holidays, perfect for those who would like to slow things down but keep active.
Overview
‘A rather large village set in the middle of some forest and some lakes’ is how Ingmar Bergman described Sweden’s beautiful maritime capital. Stockholm spreads across fourteen islands, and many more lie beyond in the archipelago. Fine buildings, impressive museums, parks and wild nature on the doorstep of one of Europe’s most beautiful capitals.
Stockholm is a city of lakeside promenades, tree-lined boulevards, cobbled streets leading to ferry quays, parks and long summer days. Situated where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea, its fourteen islands are just some of the thousands in the Stockholm Archipelago. Surprisingly close to the city lie quiet beaches and ancient forest.
During our week we will mix some easy walks on islands, in forests and parkland with visits to palaces and open-air museums. Travelling around Stockholm and its surroundings on foot, by boat and public transport could not be easier. Come with us to Sweden to enjoy the perfect summer city.

Accommodation
Below is the accommodation featured on this holiday across all departure dates. Please refer to the Itinerary for more detail about each night's accommodation for each departure date.
Stockholm has all the facilities you would expect from a city, all of which are a short walking distance from the hotel. There are plenty of banks with ATM cash machines, supermarkets, cafes, bars and restaurants close to the hotel. The excellent public transport system allows us access to any facilities not in the immediate vicinity. The city has plenty of parks and accessible lake shores, so you are not short of scenic areas to relax and watch the world go by. There are also many islands to discover, which are easily accessible by the city’s excellent public transport service. Stockholm is a virtually cash free city, so we recommend bringing very little cash with you as most shops and services in the city take payment by card.
The four star family run Hotel Kungsträdgården is situated next to the Kings Garden and a short walk to the centre, including the financial district, the shopping district, the Old Town, and the harbour of Nybroplan; from where many of the boats depart. The location is also within easy access of all the major transport links. The Hotel Kungsträdgården is the ideal city base. It is set in a renovated 18th century building and its interior is fresh, clean and beautifully decorated.
Rooms are minimalistic and all beautifully decorated in their own unique design. Typical of many city hotels, the rooms are compact but with high ceilings, which make the rooms feel more spacious. Single rooms contain a single bed in most circumstances. Some rooms look into the Kings Garden and some views are of hotels inner courtyard, built in a glass atrium style so the light of day can still be seen. Storage in rooms is a little limited but facilities include:
