3 Cities + 2
Explore the cosmopolitan cities of Malmö (+ Copenhagen), Gothenburg and Stockholm (+ Uppsala) on our most popular rail holiday.
Overview
3 cities + 2 gives you so much more than just three city breaks in one! This is the best way to experience Sweden’s three largest cities, Malmö, Gothenburg and Stockholm . You also have the option of spending a day in neighbouring Copenhagen whilst in Malmö, and a day in the historic city of Uppsala during your time in Stockholm. This is a tour offering you a cultural, diverse and cosmopolitan experience you will not find outside Sweden.
Malmö
A visit to Lilla Torget and Saluhallen. The award-winning ecological housing development area of the Western Harbour is also a must do, with sandy beaches and a long promenade, restaurants and cosy cafes, complemented by a stunning view across the sea towards Copenhagen.
Gothenburg
A city cruise on the Paddan boat tours. There is a wide variety of museums, attractions, activities and sightseeing tours to keep people of all ages and interests occupied. Gothenburg plays host to Scandinavia's largest amusement park at Liseberg, or if a leisurely scene is more to your taste, take a casual stroll around Haga for a taste of local life.
Stockholm
A walk through Gamla Stan, a boat trip through the ever impressive archipelago, or a visit to the world famous Vasa Museum; Stockholm has it all. Explore Stockholm life on the islands of Södermalm, or take a trip to the islands of Sandhamn or Grindö. Stockholm is also renowned for its excellent shopping and NK is Sweden’s equivalent to London’s Harrods.
