Sweden Trip Advice [GronaLund, Kolmarden, Lisberg]


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm planning a trip to Sweden to get to three theme parks over a weekend in October 2017 (27th-29th). I haven't been to Sweden before hence I know nothing about how to get from place to place/best tickets for parks etc.This is my broad plan with basic research so far:

 

Friday

 

Fly to Stockholm from the UK in the morning/early afternoon.

Grona Lund in afternoon/evening then brief sight seeing.

Stay in hostel overnight.

 

Saturday

 

Travel to Kolmarden by rail in the morning.

Kolmarden for about 2-3 hours.

Train to Norrkoping by rail and sight see there then continue by train to Gothenburg.

Arrive in Gothenburg in the evening, go Lisberg at night/sightsee, stay in hostel overnight.

 

Sunday

 

Lisberg during the day.

Fly back to the UK in afternoon/evening.

 

Hoping some knowledgeable Swedes can help me out with these questions and perhaps other insights I might need.

 

1) Is the plan realistic? I'm mainly travelling for the theme parks so sight seeing is not as important but would be nice to do. I can sight see after the parks have closes in Stockholm and Gothenburg (I reckon the cities are prettier at night). Also, since i'm mainly going Kolmarden for Wildfire I don't think I need to spend too long there. A good 5-10 rides would be more than enough and I might also like to go on the chairlift attraction that goes above the animal exhibits as a quick tour of the zoo side of the park.

2) How busy will crowds be at this time of year? Other than it being the weekend before Halloween is there anything else that would mean the parks may be busier than normal e.g. Swedish Holidays? I've checked park openings for GronaLund and Kolmarden and it makes sense to go at the weekend because to get to all three parks weekends are my only choice this time of year.

3) I'll be bringing a travel bag with me so are there places I can put it in parks so I don't have to worry about carrying it with me through queues, e.g. lockers/receptions? Kolmarden especially.

4) Are there any places that you would recommend in Stockholm and Gothenburg I visit e.g. good places for food/sights?

5) Any extra pieces of information I haven't thought of that would be useful?

 

Thanks
