8
days

This package is the ultimate way to spend the may holiday break with your family! From a vibrant start in the city of Gothenburg, to fishing crab on the Swedish Westcoast, this is an adventure for young and old. You'll sleep in one-of-a kind stays, experience local activities and most of all make the most out of your days in Sweden!

Lobby of hotel in Gothenburg with a unique gold slide
Day 1

Welcome to Gothenburg! Your hire car is ready and waiting, so you'll be in the city in no time. You will check in at a unique family hotel, where the atmosphere is immediately welcoming. After that, you can decide what you feel like doing: grab a bite to eat in the city? Take a stroll? Or head to Liseberg, an amusement park for young and old, where you can enter from 6 p.m. onwards. A great start to your week!

Day 2

Start the day good with a delicious hotel breakfast, including a merry-go-round for the children, so good luck leaving! Later in the day, something really fun is planned: a ceramics workshop with Pien, a Dutch ceramist with a beautiful studio in the centre of Gothenburg. Here you can throw, knead, try and laugh. Everything you make will be delivered to your home after the trip. Your own Swedish souvenir, but really homemade!

Luxury safari tent in the Swedish forest with deck chairs
Day 3

Another quiet morning in the city, perhaps with time to visit a few more places from our city guide. Then you'll head for the coast, where a luxury safari tent awaits you among the trees, sea and silence. Upon arrival, you'll find a campfire kit, marshmallows, cinnamon buns – the whole shebang. Light a fire by the tent or find a nice spot somewhere in the woods. Enjoy!

Day 4

Good morning! After a wonderful night, the breakfast basket is already waiting for you at the door. Then the day is wide open. The children can catch crabs from the jetty, you can go for a walk or rent a boat at your leisure. This place is the perfect base from which to explore the region, or simply relax on the spot! 

Red Swedish fishermen's cottages on the west coast with sea views
Day 5

After a pleasant final night in the safari tent, today you will move to the northern archipelago of Gothenburg! Your own sjöbod awaits you on Hönö: a cosy house right on the water, with views of the rocks and the sea. The rest of the day you can explore the island, go swimming or settle down somewhere by the water for dinner in the evening sun (for example, on your own terrace!).

Day 6

During this last stay, it's also time for a special activity! Today, you'll be setting off with fisherman Lasse, a cheerful character who has been sailing through the archipelago for years. He'll take you out on his small fishing boat to catch crabs. Think: orange sailing trousers, life jackets, wind in your hair and lots of fun. Afterwards, you can prepare the crabs yourself or ask the restaurant to do it for you (always a good idea).

Stunning summer views over the Swedish west coast from the island of Hönö
Day 7

Today is a wonderful day off on the island. Perhaps you would like to visit that lovely café? Take a mini road trip inland? Or simply read a book on your terrace overlooking the sea. This is your day, to spend exactly as you wish.

Day 8

After one last night, it's time to say goodbye to the island and to Sweden. After a final coffee with a view, you drive back to Gothenburg and return the car. Then the journey home begins, hopefully with a phone full of photos and a head full of wonderful memories!
