Description

Here is the translated bicycle trip program as HTML text: ```html

Day 1: Arrival in Stockholm

Welcome to Stockholm, one of the most elegant capitals in Europe, gracefully nestled between sparkling islands and waterways. Upon your arrival, you'll settle into your centrally located hotel, with time to explore this vibrant city at your leisure. You might decide to stroll through the cobblestone streets of Gamla Stan, admire the splendid Royal Palace, or relax in one of the many green parks or waterside cafés.

Day 2: Stockholm – Vaxholm (41 km; +400 m/-416 m)

You'll begin your adventure with a delightful ride around Royal Djurgården, the green heart of Stockholm. This island offers a combination of natural beauty and culture, from tranquil shores to flowering meadows, charming cafés like the Rosendals Garden Café, and famous museums like the Vasa and ABBA. Leaving the city behind, cycle through the elegant Djursholm before boarding a small ferry that will take you to Bogesundslandet.

From here, quiet gravel roads cross nature reserves until you reach the island of Vaxön. Soon, the picturesque village of Vaxholm, the so-called “capital of the archipelago,” appears. Wander through its narrow lanes, explore wooden houses and small boutiques, or enjoy a relaxing fika along the harbor before settling into your hotel.

Day 3: Vaxholm – Fågelbrolandet / Värmdö (Option A: 37 km; Option B: 42 km)

Today, you'll leave Vaxholm to venture deeper into the archipelago, choosing between two scenic routes.

Option A starts with a stunning ferry crossing to Lillsved on the island of Värmdö. As you sail past tiny islets and red cottages, you'll glimpse the serene beauty of the archipelago. From Lillsved, cycle south through woods and meadows to Siggesta Gård, an enchanting country estate with an inviting café in the orangery. Continue through the gentle landscapes of Värmdö, perhaps stopping at Bullandö Krog for lunch or artisanal ice cream with a view of the sea. Cycling along quiet coastal roads, you'll finally reach the Fågelbrohus Hotel.

Option B takes you by ferry to the island of Rindö, then again to Värmdö. After a short stretch on a main road, you'll reach Siggesta Gård once more, then continue on tranquil dirt trails through forests and open countryside. The route offers glimpses of peaceful bays and rural Swedish life before arriving at your cozy hotel in Fågelbrolandet.

Day 4: Fågelbrolandet – Sandhamn & Runmarö – Fågelbrolandet (51 km; +555 m/-555 m)

This morning, you'll cycle a short distance to the dock and board the ferry to the island of Sandön, home to the legendary village of Sandhamn — a lively and fashionable meeting point for sailors and visitors. Its harbor is lined with cafés, boutiques, and restaurants, while beyond lie long sandy beaches and breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea. Take your time to soak in the island's relaxed atmosphere, enjoy a swim, or a leisurely lunch by the shore.

Later, if you wish, continue by ferry to Runmarö, one of the largest and most varied islands of the archipelago. Its landscape bursts with wildflowers—including 27 varieties of orchids—and offers splendid cycling paths through forests and meadows. From the island's highest point, Telegrafberget, the panoramic view stretches across the entire archipelago. In the late afternoon, you'll return by ferry and cycle to your peaceful retreat at Fågelbro Säteri.

Day 5: Fågelbrolandet – Farstalandet – Saltsjöbaden (55 km; +629 m/-635 m)

Leaving the rural tranquility of Fågelbrolandet, you'll cycle westward through landscapes of pine forests, coastal bays, and artistic surprises. Crossing Farstalandet, you'll pass the Artipelag, an innovative art museum set in nature, before reaching the picturesque harbor of Gustavsberg. Take time to visit the historic porcelain factory founded in 1825, or enjoy a fika along the waterfront.

Continuing on, you'll cross the Skuru Bridge and soon arrive in Saltsjöbaden, a refined seaside enclave known for its grand villas and peaceful atmosphere. Your hotel overlooks the sea, providing the perfect spot to unwind after a day of discoveries.

Day 6: Saltsjöbaden – Stockholm (31 km; +337 m/-330 m)

Today's route is a celebration of Sweden's natural serenity. Leaving Saltsjöbaden, you'll follow dirt paths through the Erstaviken area, where forest and sea harmoniously meet. Passing by Erstaviksbadet beach, you might stop for a refreshing morning swim before continuing through the Nacka Nature Reserve — an oasis of lakes, rocky hills, and whispering pines.

Returning towards Stockholm, the scenery transitions from wilderness to urban elegance. You'll cycle along the water, passing Södermalm, Långholmen, and Kungsholmen, stopping atop Västerbron for an unforgettable view of the city, sparkling between lakes and sea. Returning to central Stockholm, you'll pass landmarks such as the City Hall, Parliament, and Royal Palace before arriving at your hotel.

Day 7: Departure from Stockholm

After breakfast, your adventurous bicycle trip through the Stockholm archipelago comes to an end. You might decide to return home—or linger a few more days to savor more of Stockholm's culture, islands, and northern light.

What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.

The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
