A Journey Through Sweden’s Sharpest Cities and Wildest Coastlines
This Luxury Stockholm Gothenburg Bohuslän itinerary 7 nights blends three distinct Swedens into one seamless route: Stockholm’s style and neighborhoods, Gothenburg’s harbor energy and design scene, then a slow exhale in Bohuslän’s outer archipelago—where seafood, sea air, and open horizons reset the pace. EscapeXperts® designs it with premium comfort, privacy-forward logistics, and a flow that keeps days exciting and evenings effortless.
At EscapeXperts®, your planning/design fee translates into clear deliverables: a discovery session, curated options, iteration rounds to refine the pace, and a final plan + checklist—plus support for changes as travel details evolve.
Stockholm: The Lydmar Hotel, Gamla Stan, and Sodermalm
Arrive in Stockholm and check in at The Lydmar Hotel, perfectly positioned for a first afternoon that feels immediately “in it.” After a quick coffee, step out to explore the city by contrast—beginning with the historic lanes and landmark façades of Gamla Stan, then shifting to the creative edge of Sodermalm, where galleries, boutiques, and café culture give the city its modern pulse.
As night falls, dress up (or keep it quietly chic) for dinner at Brasserie Le Rouge—a moody, glamorous room that turns a simple meal into a proper first-night moment—before returning to the calm of The Lydmar Hotel.
Stockholm from Above: Archipelago Helicopter + rib boat Return
Early the next morning, elevate the experience—literally—with a helicopter flight over the archipelago for a panoramic read of Sweden’s scattered islands and Baltic blues. You’ll touch down for a fresh seafood lunch (and, if it suits your style, a celebratory schnapps), then switch gears for the ride back: a fast, fun return by rib boat, skimming the water toward the city center.
Back in Stockholm, the evening is deliberately easy—time for a relaxed plate in The Lydmar Hotel’s bar and restaurant, a cold drink, and an early night before your next city shift.

Gothenburg: Clarion Hotel Post, the Garden Society of Gothenburg, and Sjömagasinet
On your third morning, leave Stockholm behind and travel to Gothenburg. Your base is Clarion Hotel Post, a former post office reimagined as a contemporary city stay—right in the heart of the action.
Spend the day discovering Gothenburg’s architecture and gallery scene, then slow the tempo in the Garden Society of Gothenburg before diving into Scandinavian creativity at the Röhsska Museum. In the evening, the city’s food story takes center stage: dinner at Sjömagasinet, set on the edge of the harbor with seafood that feels both refined and deeply local.
For an additional local flavor moment, make time to head to Gothenburg fish market for a spot of dinner—a simple, satisfying way to taste the city’s maritime identity.
Bohuslän’s Outer Archipelago: Salt and Sill, Cooking School, and Koster Marine National Park
Next comes the coastal finale. On day five, you’ll set off for Bohuslän’s outer archipelago and check into Salt and Sill, the ultra-modern floating hotel designed for sea views in every direction. Over the next couple of days, settle into archipelago life—marine scenery, slow mornings, and a private rooftop Jacuzzi that makes the outside world feel very far away.
You can learn to recreate the hotel’s signature flavors in their cooking school, take an evening cruise along the coast, and indulge in a bit of restaurant hopping—confident that each stop is chosen for quality. On your last day, finish strong with a kayaking tour through Koster Marine National Park, keeping watch for spotted seals and soaking up the rugged beauty of the coastline.
