Your eyelids become increasingly heavy as the clickety-clack of the train serves as a locomotive lullaby. You fight to keep them open, afraid to miss the whitewater-filled fjords and dark green alpine spruces that rush past while your train climbs through Sweden’s Nordic wilderness. With no need to hurry from A to B, train travel is the optimum slow-yourself-down way to ditch the timetable and relax. Sweden train travel is the most eco-conscious way of discovering this expansive country, and with stops along the way to explore a traditional Sami village or even an ABBA-blaring bar, it is the ultimate way to flaunt your inner Greta Thunberg in style. Sweden is vast, brimming with archipelago islands, spikey peaked mountains and cloud-reflecting lakes, making travelling this way subtly thrilling. Venture from the temperate southern city of Malmö, to Stockholm in the east, or Gothenburg in the west, all the way to beautifully-bleak Swedish Lapland, nestled in the wilds of the Arctic Circle.

"The booking was very easy, and communication was great from start to finish. The staff at Sorbyn Lodge were all very friendly and really helpful, and the private activities were all amazing, with very knowledgeable guides who were very proud to live and work there. We felt we saw the real Swedish Lapland, and the trip was everything we were hoping it would be."

"Each experience was amazing, and the accommodation was excellent throughout. The Concierge was very helpful and addressed our needs, and Original Travel's emergency helpline was particularly supportive when we had problems getting to the airport, stepping in quickly to help when we needed it most."

"Valeria and Margarita were very friendly and helpful, responding quickly to any queries we had. Having a Concierge during a trip was not something we had previously experienced, but we found it provided reassurance that help was available if needed. We use Gatwick airport quite a lot, but your service meant we had the smoothest of passages through the system. Brilliant. We particularly enjoyed the guided tours in Gothenburg and Stockholm. The guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining."
