Sweden may be a relatively quiet nation – probably because its dramatic landscape does all the talking for them – but once winter rolls around, and the country becomes the very definition of a winter wonderland and makes sure to give its visitors something to shout about. From Swedish Lapland, where solitary snowcapped mountains roll into swathes of stoic pine trees drooped under the weight of previous snowfalls, to the magical cities of Stockholm and Gothenburg, which glow under rows of twinkling fairy lights, you’ll be spoilt for choice on how to spend your winter break. Run wild on a dog sledding adventure through Abisko National Park or appreciate its soundless scape while snowshoeing under the Northern Lights. If you like your breaks to come with hearty servings of history, culture and food, spend afternoons sipping cups of Swedish Glögg around Gothernburg’s historic Haga district and escape the country’s chill in ABBA’s museum. Experience all this and more on one of our Sweden winter holidays.

"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."
