The Heart of the Baltic: Why Your Nordic Story Should Begin in Stockholm
As the largest city in Scandinavia, Stockholm serves as the ultimate bridge between the Nordic west and the Baltic east. Choosing a Stockholm departure gives you access to the region’s most sophisticated transport network, from high-speed trains to the iconic white ferries that navigate the Stockholm Archipelago. At Scandi Travel, we use our local expertise to turn your departure into a highlight of the trip.

Where can the “City of Islands” take you? We’ve curated the best routes starting from Stockholm to showcase the diversity of the region:
