It's all happening in Stockholm
Get set for Tunnelloppet (the Tunnel Race)
Sweden's longest tunnel, Södra Länken, opens on October 24th but one week before the opening, the tunnel race will take place inside the tunnel. Participants will start and finish the 12km long race at the Globe Arena, so if you’re looking for an energetic short break, our Stockholm city break may be just the thing so pack those running shoes! For more information on this event visit www.tunnelloppet.se.

However if racing isn’t your thing, you can always opt for a leisurely stroll around the stylish city centre, which offers great shops, plenty of cafes and restaurants and not forgetting all those museums, over 100 to choose from! You might also want to purchase a Stockholm Card, which provides free admission to 75 museums and attractions throughout the city as well as free travel, parking and sightseeing offers – it’s a must have on this city break!
