The Swedish capital of Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities in Scandinavia and one of the most visited cities in Europe. However, after exploring the heart of Sweden, why not take some train trips from Stockholm?
There are plenty of great choices, and you can rely on Swedish trains to see most of them! Read on for our list of the best train trips from Stockholm.
Trip Ideas
1. Stockholm to Sigtuna
The small-scale, pedestrian-friendly town of Sigtuna is about an hour north of Stockholm by train. It has made quite a name for itself as Sweden’s oldest city, founded in the 10th century.
The city center of Sigtuna has everything you would expect from an ancient place — museums, wooden historical homes, narrow cobblestone streets, and many authentic little shops and restaurants.
The best things to do there are visiting Steninge Castle and Rosersberg Palace, one of Sweden’s ten Royal Palaces, for informative guided tours and lessons on Swedish history.
2. Stockholm to Uppsala
More widely known as a college town, Uppsala is way more important. It is one of the oldest cities in Sweden, dating back to the 3rd century, and played a significant role before the Viking age.
After about a 40-minute train trip, we suggest spending the day exploring the historical sites of Uppsala and taking in the spiritual vibe of Sweden.
While the city is buzzing with young people, it still has the solemn feel of ancient sites, so pick some churches and museums to visit.
3. Stockholm to Oslo
While the Stockholm to Oslo train takes longer, about six hours each way, it’ll be worth it if you leave early in the morning, so you’ll have a big chunk of the day left to explore.
The capital of Norway is famous for nautical history, inspiring museums, finger-licking good seafood, and all things Viking. You can experience all these subjects if you’re efficient, but you’ll need a plan.
We strongly suggest you visit Akershus Fortress, the Natural History Museum, and Viking Ship Museum. Research further for more great places here.
