Helpful tips for your trip to Stockholm

Stockholm's weather varies wildly depending on the season, so it's paramount to rent a campervan in Stockholm at the right time. While a winter wonderland trip might sound lovely, bear in mind that if you go from October to February, there’s likely to be snow, which can make it difficult to get around in a campervan. 

Campervan hire in Stockholm is popular from June to September, with highs of around 25 degrees Celsius and plenty of sunshine. To get the best out of the weather and avoid difficulties driving, we would recommend a campervan for hire in Stockholm during summer.

  Hiking

  If you’re up for a challenge, try part of the Roslagsleden trail, the start of which (Danderyd) is just 20 minutes (10km) from Stockholm by car. Other popular hiking routes when you rent a campervan in Stockholm include the Björnö Nature Reserve, Tyresta National Park, and Paradiset Nature Reserve.

• 

  Swimming

  Following the nature theme, there are plenty of lakes and beaches in Stockholm, too, many of which are safe for wild swimming. Råstasjön is a popular lake, and Ängbybadet, Kanaanbadet, and Hässelby strandbad are all well-known beaches.

• 

  Sightseeing

  If you’re keen to learn more about the roots of ABBA or explore Stockholm’s iconic architecture, there’s plenty to do in this city when you hire a campervan in Stockholm. Some of Stockholm’s best sights include Gamla Stan (the old town), ABBA Museum, Vasa Museum and the Royal Palace.
