Why you'll love this trip
- Take some time away from the city with a day trip to Donso Island in the archipelago of Gothenburg. Head out on a walk with your leader on one of the nature trails, looking out for birds, enjoying coastal views and taking photos of some iconic Swedish sights.
- Sweat the day away at a relaxing Finnish sauna – a quintessential experience in Helsinki and known as one of the key experiences to happiness – and maybe take a quick refreshing dip in the Baltic Sea!
- Tick trendy Copenhagen off your bucket list and wander the colourful houses, then explore Copenhill and learn about their sustainability efforts while taking in the views of the city from above.
- Head out on a pub crawl in Gothenburg – what walkable city doesn’t get better when the sun goes down? Enjoy a couple of drinks with new friends and explore the nightlife of Sweden's second-largest city.
- Choose your own adventure with heaps of free time to customise your trip however you like – maybe rent bikes and cycle through the cities, see museums and soak up the history, art and culture, or cafe hop to sample some local delicacies.
