Simply Sweden

New Year Special 2011/12

Here at Simply Sweden we have designed a very special New Year holiday taking in the best of Stockholm and of course the World famous and original ICE HOTEL.  Due to popular demand this holiday has limited availability and is on a first come first served basis.

Stockholm is one of the most attractive capital cities at any time of year. Built on 14 islands around one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved medieval city centres (The Old Town), the Swedish capital is superbly positioned, with stunning and extremely varied scenery. Where ever your interest lies, be it history, art, opera, modern dance, traditional handicrafts or contemporary design, Stockholm has something for you with its wealth of museums, theatres, sights and events.

ICE HOTEL is now over 20 years old and every year and incredible hotel of ice is re-born from the frozen water of the Torne River. Every year talented artists from across the globe gather in northern Sweden to create magical ICEsculptures. Huskies, snowmobiles & northern lights also provide the entertainment!
