Uncover the warrior spirit of Sweden and the Vikings on this exploration of the historic cities of Sigtuna and Uppsala. Stop at many important Viking-era sites along the way and listen as your expert guide recalls tales of battles, sagas, and legends that made this area so important to the Vikings.

Starting with a stress-free pickup from your Stockholm hotel, head out into the stunning Swedish countryside. Your first stop is Jarlabankes bro with a Viking bridge and the old parliament at Arkils Tingplats. Admire the well-preserved runic stones and imagine yourself sitting on one of the stones that formed the ring of council members.

Journey to the town of Sigtuna, which was once a major marketplace for the Vikings. Wander through the centre of the town and enjoy some free time for lunch.

Later, make your way to the important site of Old Uppsala, so revered because of its longstanding parliament and the region's ancient mounds. Before returning to Stockholm stop at Younger Uppsala, where you can enjoy some free time to stroll through the shopping streets and admire the architecture of the town cathedral.
