Cycling Stockholm

Cycling in Stockholm is very easy to access directly from the city centre and it is also very easy for all types of riders because of the typography.

Stockholm is often called “The Venice Of The North” because of all the water that is close to the roads everywhere. One thing you can be sure of is that wherever you go you will be close to fresh water for a swim or nice rest by the shore. There are no real obstacles in the area and the hills are no more than 50 m in height max.

The surfaces are also very good in most places. Try to stick to the special cycle roads that are plenty. The riding is good 360 from the city centre. If you go east you will soon reach the famous archipelago. If you go west you can find Drottningholm, Sweden’s own Versailles. And the home of the Swedish princes (soon queen).

Both north and south directions have beautiful and remote roads in the countryside. In Sweden it is perfectly alright to bring your cycle on the public trains and also on the archipelago boats to all the islands.

Gravel in Stockholm

There are some beautiful gravel rides that could start and stop close to the centre of Stockholm.

2. Choosing when to book:

Stockholm in Summer

Summer is the best time of the year for travelling to Stockholm. Beautiful long bright evenings and mornings. Best months are July and August when the water is warmer. Bring wind jacket and arm warmers. With some luck, you bring them home without using them. The Midnight Sun is towards the end of June (you have to go more north for the real thing).

July is the best time for traffic. Most local people are on vacation and the August crowds of walking people in the centre has not yet turned up.

Prices tend to rise a little in August. But Stockholm and Sweden are still very good if you come here with € or USD. The Swedish crown is low.
