Northern delights in Abisko

Join a guided tour from Stockholm or Gothenburg and travel to the north of the nation in search of one of the natural world’s most impressive events.

The Abisko National Park is among the best spots for catching the stunning displays of the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. Hues of green, blue and red dance across the sky in a truly enchanting and unforgettable experience.

Caused by solar wind reacting with the Earth’s magnetosphere, these rare yet magical natural light displays are best viewed during the summer months.

Cultural Gothenburg

Gothenburg is the nation’s centre for all things design and fashion. A port city, the winding canals and riverside walks are a draw for visitors from across Europe.

Head to Skansen Kronan, or the Crown Keep, a hilltop fort first built in the 17th century. The small fort has served as a prison and army barracks during its long history, and today hosts a popular restaurant.

Wander around Haga, the city’s old town district, complete with traditional wooden Swedish houses and plenty of cool cafes and shops.
