As ever, if you can’t see it here then we can still plan it for you.
With an undeniable sense of style and sophistication, a getaway to Sweden is an offer we can never seem to refuse. A place where innovative cultural hubs run into a wild countryside; a luxury vacation in Sweden is one for the ages and one for the seasons. A place where we are equally at home in the city or out in the country, Sweden is made up of moments to breathe, to appreciate and to reset.
Appealing to city-goers and countryside seekers alike, Sweden is a polished gem in the Scandinavian crown. It’s a forward-thinking country that showcases refined elegance down to a tee. Discover the cosmopolitan city of Stockholm or head to the Arctic Circle for the Northern Lights, but do it in style with our on-site experts that know this country like the back of their hand.
Design lovers, history buffs, and fashion fanatics will all find the city of Stockholm to be an inspiring fusion of the old and new. With insider knowledge, discover what’s behind the colourful facades of Gamla Stan – the city’s old town – as well as receiving exclusive tours of Stockholms most notable museums and galleries. Dine on Swedish delicacies, recently celebrated as some of the best cuisine in Europe, before retreating to the trendy Ett Hem luxury hotel.
Of course Sweden deserves a lengthy itinerary all on its own, but there’s no denying that tacking on Norway, Denmark, and Finland (or just one of the three) will expose you to even more of this regions charm and allure. Combining the Fjords of Bremen, the castles of Denmark, and the snowy wonderlands of Sweden is a dreamy concoction sure to deliver on cultural and culinary discoveries.
Located in the northernmost province of Sweden, Lapland is a playground for snow lovers. Everyday activities in Lapland consist of snowmobile excursions, husky sledding, snowshoeing on fresh powder, and at certain times of the year, a natural light show that sets fire to the entire night sky. Isolated and exclusive, a luxury vacation to Lapland is a once in a lifetime experience.
You know how it goes – the summer days are balmy and long, while winter days are short and chilly. In Sweden, the changing of the seasons is a cause for celebration, and we believe all four seasons bring new Swedish experiences to the table. Sip on traditional Glugg at the famous Gamla Stan Christmas market or enjoy the festivities of Midsummer’s Eve in one of Stockholms many picturesque parks.
Luleå
Glowing skies and a snowy adventure.
Lying on the coast of Northern Sweden in snowy Swedish Lapland is Luleå. Full of exhilerating opportunities, from snowmobiling and dogsledding to ice fishing and treehouse living, this magical land has a little something for every member of the family. Rest your head north of Luleå amongst the wild forest, and experience Sweden’s very own African-style camp, Aurora Safari Camp. Head out on a midnight hunt of the Northern Lights with our expert guide, before cosying up by the fire back in your tipi. Or for those who’d rather sit back in the sauna, simply peep out of your tent flap later to admire the spectacle. The choice is yours.
Stockholm
Sweden’s stylish capital: Beauty on the Water.
Much like Venice and its maze of canals, Stockholm is spread across thousands of islands connected by small bridges – 57 to be exact. Beautifully laced with cobblestoned streets, trendy coffee shops and wonderfully designed buildings, everytime we visit Stockholm we scratch a little more of its fascinating surface. We’ll fly you to the skies for a tour of the city, take you to the best spot for Swedish Fika and open the doors to one of Stockholm’s most stylish hotels, Ett Hem.
Gothenburg
Walk in the shoes of Gothenburg Vikings.
A waterfront swimming in history and neighbourhoods painted with contemporary art, Gothenburg is an intriguing city to say the least. Salivate your way through pungent food markets and check out local boutiques via foot, but our favorite way to tour the archipelago? Via kayak. Take to the water with our local guide and soak up Scandinavian stories of Viking longboats that sank so many years ago, one of which, the Askekarr longboat, can be seen Gothenburg’s very own museum.

Sweden is rewarding in every season, but the experience changes dramatically depending on when you go. June to August offers the midnight sun — daylight that lasts almost around the clock in the north, long warm evenings in Stockholm, and peak season for the archipelago. November through March is best for Swedish Lapland: husky sledding, snowmobile safaris, and the best chances of seeing the Northern Lights. Late May and September are shoulder months — fewer crowds, comfortable temperatures, and excellent conditions across the country. Your Black Tomato specialist will help you match the timing to what you want to experience.
Sweden’s range is one of its great strengths. In Stockholm, private tours of Gamla Stan (the medieval old town), rooftop walks, and design-led shopping in Södermalm sit alongside archipelago sailing and evening kayaking to outer islands. In Gothenburg, the harbour market, lobster safaris out of Bohuslän, and Michelin-calibre dining define the visit. In Swedish Lapland — particularly around Luleå — the experience shifts to snowmobiling across the frozen archipelago, husky sledding, sleeping in the Treehotel’s mirror cube, and aurora hunting with an expert guide. Black Tomato designs around how you want to feel, not a fixed checklist.
Sweden is a quietly exceptional honeymoon destination — one that rarely tops the obvious lists but consistently delivers for couples who choose it. Stockholm is one of the most romantic cities in Europe: 57 islands connected by bridges, waterfront dining, design hotels where the attention to detail is extraordinary. The archipelago by private yacht in summer is a genuinely intimate experience. For something more dramatic, Swedish Lapland in winter — the aurora, the silence, a night in the Treehotel’s floating UFO or mirror cube — offers something no standard honeymoon can match. Speak to a specialist about combining Sweden with Norway, Denmark, or Finland for a longer Scandinavian honeymoon.
Sweden is excellent for families, particularly those who want their children to come away with something to talk about. Swedish Lapland is consistently one of the most memorable destinations for children of any age — husky sledding, snowmobile rides, ice fishing, sleeping in a treehouse suspended in a forest, and the possibility of the Northern Lights all add up to an experience that is genuinely educational as well as exhilarating. In summer, Stockholm’s islands and archipelago create a natural adventure playground. Gothenburg’s food markets, Viking history, and kayaking trips are equally engaging. We pace family itineraries carefully and build in proper rest time.
Combining Sweden with Norway, Denmark, and Finland makes for one of the most rewarding multi-country trips in Europe. The most popular combinations are: Stockholm and Copenhagen (connected by the Øresund Bridge or a short flight); Sweden and Norway for fjords, cities, and contrasting landscapes; and Sweden and Finland for a Lapland adventure that crosses the border into Finnish lake country. We have itineraries covering all three Scandinavian countries in 11 nights, as well as Sweden and Finland together in 8. Your specialist will find the balance that works for your time and interests.
The cost of a luxury Sweden vacation with Black Tomato varies depending on the length of your trip, whether you’re combining with other Scandinavian countries, and the experiences and accommodation you choose. Swedish Lapland trips involving specialist activities and unique properties like the Treehotel will be priced differently to a Stockholm and archipelago itinerary.
