Flying offers an easy way to get to Sweden with regular flights from London and Manchester to Stockholm. If you have more time, consider slow travel by rail from London, via Cologne and Copenhagen.
Winter short breaks to Swedish Lapland including Kiruna airport near to the Icehotel, take 5-8 hours via Stockholm.
During summer, choose to fly direct to Gothenburg from the UK and drive around stunning West Sweden with its picturesque archipelago and gentle rolling countryside.
Your holiday should feel like it’s been designed just for you. I’m here to make that happen with a personal touch and local insights

Airlines
The most comprehensive flight services to Sweden are with Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) using mostly Boeing 737-800 aircraft. On most SAS services our prices are based on the lowest available fare which means that passengers are seated towards the rear of the aircraft and charges apply to food and drinks. Free baggage allowance is 23kg per person, plus one small carry on item.

Rail travel
Opt for a flight free option and take the train from the UK, journeying through Cologne in northern Germany and Copenhagen in Denmark before travelling over the impressive Oresund Bridge to Malmo in southern Sweden. From here you can connect with Gothenburg and beyond venturing in to Norway.
