Well preserved wooden houses, lake Malaren just around the corner and a multitude of exciting museums make your holiday in Sodertalje a once in a lifetime experience.

Sodertalje is Sweden's sixteenth largest town, and there are plenty of things to do here. Take a trip down memory lane and discover the historic wooden buildings or enjoy the wonderful nature in this central Swedish town's gorgeous surroundings.

Stay in a nice hotel in Sodertalje, fill your day's with entertaining activities and eat at fine dining restaurants in the evenings. Learn more about Sweden and its fascinating history while you're here, and visit one of the many museums this town have to offer.

As early as the 16th century Sodertalje was an established trade and merchant port, and still today it boasts one of Sweden's largest commercial harbours. The reason that most houses in Sodertalje are wooden is that back then it was considered unnecessary to spend money on more expensive materials like brick for a simple trading town. Go on a guided cruise in the world's oldest coal fired propeller driven steamship the S/S Ejdern. During the summer the cruise departs from Borgmastarudden. The daring can even go on a Surstromming Cruise, and try the Swedish odorous rarity of fermented herring.

Take the kids to Tom Tits Experiment, where the whole family can deepen their knowledge of science and technology. Discover the royal summer residence Tullgarn from the 18th century, and enjoy the beautiful interior decor and the peaceful gardens. Go back in time with a walk around the outdoor museum Torekallberget which consists of a series of 19th century settings like old residences, cafés, gardens and animal holdings. Go shopping in central Sodertalje, or visit one of the shopping centres Telgehuset, Kringland or Lunagallerian.

It is easy to get to Sodertalje, which is located close to a motorway and has its own train station. The motorways E4 and E20 merge in Sodertalje, and allow you to reach the town from both north and south. Get the train to Sodertalje from most of Sweden's larger cities, or the regular commuter train from Stockholm.

Spend a whole weekend in Sodertalje or go on a daytrip from the Swedish capital. Whatever you choose, Sodertalje offers every opportunity for a great Swedish holiday.
