Hamburg and Stockholm

5-day independent rail trip from Hamburg to Stockholm

Illustration of Hamburg and Stockholm

Railbookers operates this 5-day, 4-night independent rail vacation from Hamburg to Stockholm, with the operator's Rail Expert support rather than a fixed escorted group. Two nights in Hamburg are left free to explore at your own pace, taking in the city's Town Hall and the 17th-century Baroque St Michaelis Church, along with its restaurants, bars, and museums. On day three, the rail journey to Stockholm crosses the Great Belt Fixed Link and passes rural landscapes and small towns on the way into Sweden, with the option to break the journey in Copenhagen. Two nights in Stockholm follow, with a day at leisure to explore Gamla Stan's cobbled old town, the 13th-century Storkyrkan Cathedral, and the Royal Palace, plus the option of a boat trip out to the archipelago. Breakfast is included at both hotels, chosen from a list of options in each city. This trip suits independent travelers who want a short, unstructured city-to-city rail hop between two northern European capitals.
