City of Uppsala
If you have already seen Stockholm, we suggest heading 45 kilometers North from Stockholm to Uppsala. Uppsala is a university city, famous for its historical atmosphere. The history can be seen all around the city, in its fabulous architecture and museums that reveal amazing stories from the old times. One of the great scientists of the 19th century, Carl Linneaus, received his education in these surroundings. He became famous for devising the modern classification system for plants and animals. Linneaus spent his early years studying medicine at the University of Lund and botany at Uppsala. His house and botanical garden can be visited in Hammarby, Uppsala.

Even more exciting place especially for children is Pelle Svanslös Hus which is a theme park-house that is famous for the cat with no tail. Pelle Svanslös is a sympathetic cat, who is bullied due to his loss of the tail. This story from 1939 illustrates the importance of tolerance and friendships.

DAY 2: Step back in time Your next destination is a town, Västerås located in a 1-hour journey from Uppsala. In Västerås, you can have an opportunity to step back in time by visiting a traditional Sweden’s open-air museum – Vallby. Here, you will see traditional old houses, where local people lived, meet, and pet farm animals, and see crops that were cultivated in the old times.

For a great city panorama head to Djäkneberget – a city public park. Afterwards, take a stroll in the town in search of a place to have an early lunch before hitting the road again.
Fika time in Arboga

To get an authentic feeling of Scandinavia we suggest visiting a prosperous old town of Arboga lying on the old iron route between the Bergslagen and Stockholm ports. Sweden´s oldest canal is located here with its nine manually operated locks. Arboga is an idyllic small town with a beautiful marina area with a lovely local cafe where you can taste famous Swedish pastries and learn the culture of "fika".

Salmon fishing in Svartå
Only a short 40-minute drive from Arboga is another beautiful town, Örebro. This town is great for outdoor activities! Take a walk along the Svartån river and visit an Örebro Castle.

When you are ready to continue, hit the road and travel 115 km from Örebro to the sunniest town in Sweden, Karlstad. Here, make sure you visit the longest stone arch bridge in Sweden, Gamla Stenbron, underneath which flows the longest river in Sweden, Klarälven!

Eye to eye with a king of the Nordic forest

DAY 4: West coast. It’s time to change the scenery and drive the rental motorhome to the west coast, where the landscapes of the shores by the Northern Sea are very different and rough compared to the ones on the east coast by the Baltic Sea. If you are ready for some Scandinavian history, make a quick stop at the town called Tanum. In Tanum, you can visit spectacular “Rock Carvings” that was declared to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to their high concentration. Your next stop will be a small fishing village, Fjällbacka located in a 20-minute ride from Tanum. A prominent Swedish actress, Ingrid Bergman spent her summers here. Today Fjällbacka is all about good food in a stunning authentic Scandinavian setting. Scandinavian countries, especially Sweden, are known for their fish dishes. Try some of these specialties such as marinated salmon with dill potatoes or chives and sour cream. One of the must-try dishes is called Toast Skagen which is widely available in almost every restaurant in Sweden. This delicious dish includes sautéed bread along with prawns, whitefish roe, dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and fresh dill. The high point of this area is called Vetteberget and it offers magnificent views over the archipelago. This is also the setting for Astrid Lindgren's famous children's story Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter.

Family-friendly activities
Other family-friendly attractions nearby include Nordens Ark, a nature park, and a zoo that cater specifically to endangered species. It is particularly enjoyable for families, as there are special children's activities all around the park. After a full day of amazing sceneries, exciting local stories, and exotic animals it´s time to park the rental motorhome for the night and spend an evening by the campfire. Along the western coastline, there are several good camping places to choose from.

DAY 5: The Gullmarn fjord. Start your morning with a nutritious breakfast and continue your journey to Lusekil, which is located in 1-hour from Fjällbacka.
