Leave the city's stress behind and head to the Swedish countryside, where rolling hills, farm pastures and the city suburbs welcome you. Go from rural to royal and get the chance to see both Sigtuna, Sweden's oldest preserved town and Drottningholm Palace, home of the Swedish King & Queen.
Close your eyes and travel back in time to a town founded long, long ago… in AD 980, to be exact. You see townspeople loading and unloading goods from their boats, the smell of cattle floating through the air, and the sound of the mint masters' tools clinking and clanking away, producing the land's first coins. Welcome to Sigtuna, the first town of the Swedish Kingdom, founded by the great Viking King Erik the Victorious (it's all in his name, see?!). Wander the streets like the Vikings, preach to the church ruins like the priest did in the old times and poke your head into the inner courtyard of one of the charming wooden houses along the main street. A good place to enjoy some traditional Swedish "Fika" at the café during some free time!
We continue from the rural to the royal and leave this pocket-sized town behind. Headed for Drottningholm, it's where we find a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a palace and a Swedish Royal home. Not only is this 400-year-old palace one of the ten palaces that the Royal Family of Sweden have at their disposal, but it's also located on the shore of Lake Mälaren (just like Sigtuna!) and has a gigantic "backyard". Why is it inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list? Come journey with us to find out! Palace, playhouse and pavilion altogether make this a one-of-a-kind site.
Take the smell of cinnamon buns, the freshwater of Lake Mälaren and countryside air back to the city as we make for Stockholm. Doesn't the Swedish countryside sound wonderful?
