Family Holidays in Sweden

Family holidays in Sweden - rediscover the adventure of a traditional family holiday in summer or winter

Sweden has a reputation for being an ideal destination for family holidays - and this reputation is well-deserved. Sweden is very child-friendly, with good facilities provided in restaurants, on public transport and in hotels, making travelling with children in Sweden relatively straightforward. What's more, significant child reductions are almost always available on everything from train tickets to hotel rooms - making a Sweden family holiday with Nature Travels an excellent choice for parents, children, the environment and the bank balance!

Sweden is a very safe destination for travelling with children, and the country provides the perfect setting to tempt your children away from the computer or television screen and out into the fresh air for some old-fashioned family adventures. If you are an active family looking for a family-friendly holiday in Sweden, we have a wide range of experiences to choose from, whether you are looking for a family adventure holiday in the snow or would like to take the children on an active family break with wild camping and canoeing.

We understand that taking a holiday with children can be a costly business, but on a Nature Travels family holiday in Sweden, there are no entrance fees to expensive theme parks, no games arcades to swallow the children's pocket money - just clean, wide open spaces, forests, rivers, lakes and hills. And we think that nature's playground offers infinitely greater opportunity for a great family holiday experience than a theme park any day!

Our range of family-friendly Sweden holidays includes many experiences with substantial price reductions for children. Combined with an increasing range of low-cost travel connections between the UK and Sweden, this makes a family holiday in Sweden both accessible and affordable, as well as being a wonderful opportunity for your family to spend time together out in the wilds of this unique country.

For example, our self-guided canoe tours have rates of 50% of the adult price for older children or just 25% of the adult price for younger children. That means that two adults with two children under five years old could go on a family canoeing holiday in Sweden for 4 days for under £180! (based on prices as of April 2008). For our popular Summer Fun and Winter Wonderland on a Forest Farm experiences, children under 3 stay and eat completely free of charge.

Many of our family-friendly holidays in Sweden have been featured in the UK press, for example:

• Sunday Times journalist Nick Thorpe said in March 2008 of his experience of Timber Rafting on Klarälven, "I'm struggling to remember a more relaxing holiday".
• The Guardian featured our Beaver Safari and Timber Rafting experience as one of its top family-friendly holidays in March 2008.
• Easy Living magazine featured our Summer Fun on a Forest Farm experience as one of its recommended relaxing breaks in February 2008.
• Actress Imogen Stubbs participated in a number of our experiences, including our popular Elk Safari Adventure, and described her adventures for the Daily Mail in October 2007.
• With Kids magazine featured our Timber Rafting on Klarälven experience as one of its suggestions for active family holidays in August 2006.
