TRIP PROGRAM

At the appointed time, the group will meet at Madrid Barajas Airport T4 for departure on an Iberia flight from Madrid to Stockholm.

     Departure: 10:15 Madrid Arrival: 14:10 Stockholm

Meet with the driver and transfer to the TANTOLUNDEN Urban Gardens for your visit.

Tantoluden Urban Gardens – over one hundred allotments located in the southwest of Södermalm Island. The allotment area, established in 1915 to provide sustenance for the urban population during World War I, now boasts over one hundred small gardens, some with elaborate designs and charming little houses that look like they've stepped out of a fairytale. From its inception, it was stipulated that the size of the allotments could not exceed 14 square meters. It is a prime example of the urban gardens that emerged in major European and American cities from the 2th century onwards, contributing to the nutrition and health of citizens, as well as social stability.

After the visit, transfer to the suggested hotel and accommodation for two nights with breakfast included.

At the appointed time, I strolled to a classic restaurant serving local cuisine for the welcome dinner.

After dinner, transfer back to the hotel.

Breakfast at the hotel.

09.00 Hr . Hotel check-out.

Full day of sightseeing in Stockholm: Skansen, Rosendahls trädgård, where we will have lunch and finally Millesgården.

Skansen , the first open-air museum, was founded in 1891. Its aim, during the height of industrialization and profound societal change, was to preserve historic buildings of all kinds and the disappearing traditional way of life. More than 150 structures have been relocated from various parts of Sweden. From its inception, great importance was placed on green spaces, including traditional orchards, classical gardens, rose gardens, and medicinal herb gardens. It is undoubtedly a true landscape gem that reflects the history of Swedish gardens from the 18th century to the present day.

Rosendahls Trädgard is a collection of landscaped gardens created with the aim of bringing organic and biodynamic horticulture to everyone from different perspectives. According to the Foundation that manages it, "it is an oasis for growth, sustainability, and enjoyment." Here you'll find orchards with centuries-old fruit trees, a rose garden, a herb garden, and large greenhouses, one of which houses a charming shop and another a café-restaurant where you can enjoy their organic lunch.

Millesgården , the house museum of the great sculptor Carl Milles, is located on the island of Lidingö, just outside Stockholm. Created between 1908 and the mid-20th century, its beautiful gardens, filled with sculptures and fountains, offer spectacular views and are a testament to Milles' mastery of art and space. The gardens reflect a strong Mediterranean and classical influence, as well as the Alpine inspiration evident in one section, which he created in homage to his Austrian wife. It is a truly unique and inspiring place.

5:30 PM . Return to the hotel.

The rest of the afternoon is free to enjoy the city.

8.30 Hr . Departure from the hotel with suitcases. Transfer to Skogskyrkogarden and Drottningholm for your visit.

Skogskyrkogården (The Forest Cemetery) , a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located south of Stockholm and was created by architects Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz starting in 1917. Undoubtedly a reference point for 20th-century architecture and landscape design, it is a place that exudes a tranquil beauty that invites reflection, where landscape and construction are perfectly intertwined; the large forest, the clearings, and the paths that connect the different areas are the key elements of a project that took 40 years to complete.

Drottningholm , the splendid current residence of the King and Queen of Sweden, situated on an island in Lake Mälaren, is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will visit its Baroque gardens, the English Park, the palace, the Chinese Pavilion, and the world-renowned theater, built in 1766, whose interior remains unchanged since its construction, including the original wooden stage machinery.

Accommodation and dinner at Krusenbergs Herrgård, an old manor house converted into a hotel where we can enjoy its extensive gardens next to Lake Mälaren.

The parks of Enköping : Since the 1990s, the small town of Enköping has become a mecca for cutting-edge gardening, boasting twenty unique green spaces created with evergreens and trees. The star attraction is the renowned Drömparken, the Dream Park, designed by Dutch landscape architect Piet Oudulf, who named it after his favorite plants. A delight for all the senses.

Grönsöö. ​​A spectacular private estate by Lake Mälaren, whose origins date back to the 17th century. Enjoy a guided tour of the interiors led by a member of the family. We will also explore the gardens and enjoy a light lunch. A highlight is its 17th-century apple orchard (for citron).

Along the way we stopped to visit Linnaeus Hammarby. In Uppsala we visited the Linnaeus Garden, where we had lunch.

Linnaeus Hammarby is the house museum where Carl Linnaeus and his family spent their summers. The garden has been transformed into a small botanical garden, featuring plants that Linnaeus cultivated during his lifetime.

Uppsala Botanical Garden. Currently covering 13 hectares with over 11.000 species, it was established in 1780 on the grounds of the former gardens of Uppsala Castle. It was a gift from King Gustav III to Uppsala University. The Linnaeanum, the citrus greenhouse, also dates from this period.
