Itinerary
Skokloster is considered one of the great Baroque castles of Europe. Built between 1654 and 1676 for Count Carl Gustaf Wrangel it is a monument to the Swedish Age of Greatness, the period in the middle of the seventeenth Century when Sweden expanded to become one of the major powers in Europe.
Sigtuna was founded on what was then the shore of Lake Mälaren just over 1,000 years ago. It took its name from an ancient royal estate (see Uppsala öd) several kilometers to the west (see Fornsigtuna). Various sources claim King Eric the Victorious as founder while others claim King Olof Skötkonung.

Loved this tour it was such a nice mix! The castle was absolutely beautiful and very peaceful to explore. Sigtuna had this small-town charm and cool Viking history. The guide was relaxed and didn’t rush us. Would do this again for sure.
This tour was excellent! We learned so much and Kate was a wealth of information in every subject. She was kind, patient and attentive to our needs. It's a long day but well worth it.
