Stockholm, Sweden
The capital of Sweden, Stockholm, is a fantastic urban location if you are looking for the best sustainable destinations for outdoor sports in Europe. Sweden is well-known for being pricey, yet it is actually possible to go there on a tight budget. In addition, Stockholm has something to offer outdoor adventure enthusiasts year-round, no matter when you decide to visit.
Let's begin with the summertime. Sweden is a nation that takes great pleasure in its beautiful water and natural surroundings and is a fairly environmentally concerned society. You may not be aware, but Stockholm is a metropolis made up of a number of tiny islands. Kayakers exploring the city from a different perspective can be seen on the water throughout the warmer months (and occasionally even during the winter). Bring your swimsuit and take a dip—some of the islands even have beachfront!
The Swedes love the cold and continue their activities throughout the winter. Even if you visit during the holiday season, you may find ice skating rinks all around the city. When you have the opportunity to enjoy ice skating outdoors, it just seems different.
Another well-liked winter sport is snowshoeing, although it can't compare to a Swedish sauna session. Swedes swarm to saunas on the Baltic Sea coast to warm up and sweat in order to escape the chilly winter temperatures. However, they go a step further. When you start to feel warm, step outside and plunge into the Baltic Sea's icy waves. Although it may sound absurd, one of Sweden's coolest winter hobbies is this. Stockholm is a real gem for European outdoor sports destinations.
