Stockholm summer vacation

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION
We are committed to offering low-impact vacations, which benefit the countries and communities we visit, as well as our travelers and the natural environment. We believe in the transformative power of travel and aim to minimise our ecological footprint by selecting eco-friendly accommodations, encouraging waste reduction, and supporting sustainable transportation options where possible.

The Hotel Kungsträdgården is a beautifully restored boutique hotel in a walkable setting right the heart of Stockholm beside Kungsträdgården. Its prime location makes it ideal for a low-carbon stay, with major sights, waterfronts, and neighbourhoods all easily explored on foot, supported by the city’s excellent public transport. Vegetarian options are widely available, and vegan choices can usually be accommodated, reflecting Stockholm’s strong plant-based food scene.

Traveling around the city is effortless and supported by good public transport and boat routes using the Stockholm Travel Card, which reduces reliance on private vehicles.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE
We operate a ‘leave no trace’ policy in national parks, archaeological sites, monuments, and other sensitive areas like beaches and coastlines; these should be treated with the ultimate respect to maintain them for future generations. Our tour leaders are trained to promote this message to our customers during the vacation.

This Stockholm walking tour offers a wonderfully low-impact way to explore, combining scenic walks with sustainable transport across Stockholm and its surrounding landscapes. With much of the journey experienced on foot through parkland, cobbled streets, and woodland trails, it allows for a deeper, more meaningful connection to nature while keeping your carbon footprint low.

LOCAL ECONOMY
We provide ample opportunity to explore the local areas on foot, where you can shop for local wares and crafts and immerse yourselves in the rich cultural heritage of the destination. To enhance your experience, as well as your tour leader, each vacation will be accompanied by a well-qualified and knowledgeable English-speaking local guide.

This walking and exploration tour of Stockholm and its surroundings is not only low-impact and eco-friendly but also a strong supporter of the local economy. By staying at family-run hotels like Hotel Kungsträdgården, dining at local restaurants, and enjoying fresh, locally sourced meals (often vegetarian or vegan-friendly), you'll help in sustaining small businesses and neighbourhood enterprises.

Excursions on foot through Tyresta National Park, along lakeside promenades, and into charming streets, along with boat trips in the Stockholm Archipelago, channel tourism directly into local communities. Visits to cultural sites like Drottningholm Palace, Uppsala old town, and small island villages further support local artisans, guides, and family-run businesses. Blending walking, public transport, and sustainable exploration keeps money circulating locally as well as offering an authentic and immersive Swedish experience.

This approach makes every step and every meal a contribution to the thriving local economy, turning your adventure into something meaningful for both you and the communities you visit.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY & DIVERSITY
We are committed to responsible and sustainable travel practices that support both the local environment and surrounding communities. By selecting environmentally conscious accommodation, encouraging reduced waste, and prioritising sustainable transport where possible, we aim to minimise our footprint. Through respectful engagement and conscious travel choices, we strive to protect natural landscapes while delivering enriching and memorable experiences.

Our walking tours are thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in local heritage and culture, building meaningful connections with the places and people we visit, including the employment of local tour guides. As a company, we believe in workplace diversity and equal employment, with opportunities available to everybody regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or nationality.
