Easy Terrain: 3-6 miles daily
Summer is the perfect time to visit Sweden and Finland. During the period of “white nights,” when the sun barely dips below the horizon, the great capital cities of Stockholm and Helsinki blossom, flaunting their exceptional natural settings astride the Baltic’s islands and inlets. Based at luxurious, centrally located hotels, discover the best of Nordic history, culture, and nature as you stroll through the vibrant streets and urban parkland of these two sophisticated cities. On day trips into the surrounding countryside, follow in the footsteps of ancient Swedes among Sigtuna’s colorful timber houses, walk through the forested expanses of Nuuksio National Park, and explore the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Drottningholm and Suomenlinna. You’ll sense the intimate connection to nature that is so central to Swedish and Finnish culture, as you walk beautifully maintained waterside paths and dine on wild-caught and foraged foods from the Nordic land and sea. Complementing your daily walking excursions are ferry trips among leafy green islands, and an unforgettable overnight cruise across the Baltic Sea.
