Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Both Denmark and Sweden have their own currencies; however, payment by card is preferred everywhere, so there’s no need to worry about currency exchange.
  • The weather in Scandinavia during the summer can be unpredictable, often changing from fall-like conditions to summer weather within a single day. Be prepared for wind, rain, and cold, but also remember to pack your bathing clothes and summer attire. It’s advisable to bring layers, along with rain gear and a wind shell, and consider bringing gloves for the rides. Also note that summer days are long, with late sunsets and early sunrises, providing up to 17 hours of daylight.
  • Riding conditions: Cycling close to the coast at times involves strong head- and sidewinds. Some routes take you through old villages where the center of town usually involves riding on cobblestones.
  • Dinners in Denmark and Sweden can sometimes take longer than you might be accustomed to but don’t let that discourage you! This allows you time to enjoy the delicious and carefully-prepared cuisine at a leisurely pace.
