Stockholm, “The Venice of the North”, is based on water. Perhaps Stockholm’s most distinctive quality is the interplay between the city and the wild nature which surrounds and traverses it. During 2010 Stockholm was the first city to be European Green Capital awarded by the European Commission.

Experience Stockholm and it's nature

Stockholm Archipelago is a nature paradise offering something for everyone with its whispering pine trees, smooth islets and colourful orchid meadows. There are over 25,000 islands and smaller skerries just in the area around Stockholm, which have risen slowly after the last ice age some 10,000 years ago.

Stockholm is the ideal setting for a combination of adventure and city life. Try our Stockholm Active Week to experience the jewels on Stockholm and it's surroundings! Join a week with a combination of the different activities we offer in and arond Stockholm; a guided bike tour, wildlife safari, wilderness hikes and/or kayaking in the archipelago. There are also a couple of days with self guided tours of your own choice. You can do walks or make free use of the Stockholm City bikes available all over Stockhkolm.

The activities
We have designed the activities so that everyone with some interest in an active holiday can participate. The hiking and biking are done in a comfortable pace. The kayaking is done in very stable one and two man kayaks. Most participants have little previous experience form kayaking. You will, however, have even more fun if you prepare yourself at home with some practise. Good walking shoes is necessary for the hike. For the kayaking you just need to bring some warm clothes and an extra change (to be on the safe side). Rain clothes can come in handy even though weather in Stockholm mostly is fair in the summer. The archipelago is among the sunniest areas of Sweden. We require that the participants in the kayaking can swim.
