Seduced by Summer

OUR TOP PICKS

Summer is here so let’s make the most of it. Every day there’s something new to explore here at Downtown Camper - check out all activities on the opposite page. Here are three of our personal favourites. Yes, there’s a clear water theme here and yes, it’s because we won’t have anything less than a perfect summer.

Kayaking

Tuesdays & Wednesdays at 09.30

Swim n’ Run

Mondays at 09.00, Thursdays at 16.00

Explore the city from a different angle. Let’s go for a scenic tour around the stunning island of Långholmen. Sounds like something that floats your boat? Come join.

Stockholm was built on islands, so we figured what better way to explore the city than from the surface of the water? This activity was such a huge success last year, so naturally we decided to do a rerun this summer. Långholmen offers a lot to explore - the old prison, the lovely wooden boats, the view, beaches, picnic spots. It’s a gem and one of our favourite spots, so rest assured - this experience will stay with you.

For all levels. Kids welcome in parent’s company. 3 hour event (bike trip incl.) 150 sek per person, no refunds. Dress accordingly, and bring an extra jumper / sweater. Rain ponchos for sale in the lobby gift shop.

Sign up before 17.00 on the day before at: lifestyleconcierge@scandichotels.com

Spending summer in the city requires the right approach. Keep your head cool - let’s go for a Swim n’ Run!

We’ve decided not to run in circles anymore and now we’re taking aim at one of Stockholm’s many beaches, the one in Rålambshovsparken. Join the DC crew on a fun city run and cool off in the blue waters by Kungsholmen. The Swim n’ Run activity takes you on one of the most scenic routes of the city and with our dedicated runners, you’re in good company.

In summer, our capital springs to life with lush greenery scattered in between the ocra-coloured buildings and quaint bridges. Although Downtown Camper is located in one of the most urban areas of the city, nature is never far away.

Thursdays at 09.30

Our newest activity takes place on, well, the water of course. On Thursdays we take you out on an adventure that will leave you hooked and longing for more.

This activity takes us around Långholmen on stand-up paddlingboards. Our starting point is 15 mins away by bike. Never paddled before? Relax, anyone can join (but it helps if you have a decent balance). Kids welcome in parent’s company. 3 h event (bike trip incl.). 150 sek per person, no refunds. Dress accordingly, bring a change of clothes + a jumper / sweater. Bikes for a loan.

Sign up before 18.00 on the day before at: lifestyleconcierge@scandichotels.com

Paddleboarding OR, JUST GO PLOGGING

We have selected our favourite running route for this activity, and the destination is one of Stockholm’s most popular beaches, in Rålambshovsparken. Just plunge in and cool off!

The pace will be adapted to fit the group, so whether you’re looking for a quiet jog or a high-pace sprint, that’s what we’ll do. The run is about 5 km and the activity takes about one hour, warm-up and stretching included. The DC runner crew will bring extra water to drink during the run.

You don’t have to sign up in advance to attend this event - come down to the lobby when it’s time, and remember to dress accordingly. Let’s go Swim n’ Run this summer, you won’t regret it.
