Gourmet Tour - A Celebration Of Tradition And Taste

OVERVIEW

Enjoy a unique tasting, a traditional Swedish lunch and a glimpse of Stockholm’s iconic landmarks as you travel between destinations. The capital city sprawls across 14 islands, including Djurgården, home to the waterfront Vasa Museum, and Skeppsholmen, a leafy island known for cultural highlights such as the Modern Art Museum. You will drive through both islands on the way to Östermalmshallen, a beautiful 19th-century market hall where you will snack on the local delicacy smoked reindeer. Continuing on, you will stop in Stockholm’s historical district to explore and shop on your own. Think of it as an appetizer for the multi-course meal that follows at a cozy restaurant. The menu will likely include classic Swedish meatballs and the sticky chocolate cake kladdkaka for dessert. The return route will present architectural treasures such as City Hall, the setting for the annual Nobel Prize banquet, and natural settings such as Lake Mälaren.
