July in Sweden means long, bright days, fresh air and plenty of nature. At the same time, the high season attracts many visitors to the well-known spots in most countries. At Travel.se, we know that Sweden has even more to offer: it is vast and empty enough to find stillness even in July. So here we share our best insider tips for travellers who want to really relax in summer as well as experience the country in a special way.

For the adventurous

1. Canoeing on hidden lakes and rivers
Take a canoe through quiet, secluded lakes or meandering rivers in regions such as Värmland and Jämtland. Here you are at one with nature, away from crowded beaches and other boats. A perfect way to discover Sweden intimately and at your own pace. Many of our accommodations include a canoe, so no hassle travelling to a rental place, just hop on and off at your own dock!

2. Berry picking in unspoilt nature
Go in search of fresh, wild berries in the forests of Dalarna or Småland. Berry picking is a typical Swedish summer experience not to be missed in July. You will find special tools for this in the supermarket. 

3. Cycling on unique routes along old railway lines
Southern Sweden offers surprising cycle paths along former railway lines, such as the Kattegattleden. These quiet, often car-free routes take you past charming villages and hidden gems of nature, where you can enjoy the summer in peace and quiet. Whether you bring your own bike or it is included with one of our unique accommodations.

For those seeking peace and quiet

1. Hiking in quiet nature reserves
Honestly, we don't even need to recommend taking lesser-known routes. After all, Sweden has the luxury of its grandeur, which means you will never hike the same trail here with many others at the same time. So don't worry and enjoy pristine landscapes, expansive views and almost no other hikers around. This is Sweden at its purest.

2. Spend the night in special, quiet locations
Want to really experience the silence? Then we will arrange that for you; an off-grid cabin, a boutique B&B or a carefully selected glamping spot in the middle of nature. These accommodations combine comfort with tranquillity and make your holiday extra special.

For the enjoyers

The great thing about our locations is that they are an experience in themselves. We select them carefully, putting comfort, design and personality first. That often means small-scale and unique places with all the comforts. For example, a glass house in the forest, where the owners also specialise as bakers and thus have the kanelbullar ready for you in the morning. A place that is actually too beautiful to leave. And we get it, so that's why you choose whether you want to have dinner in the farm restaurant in the evening or prefer to have it delivered to your own place.
