How to Plan a 3-Day Fishing Road Trip Through Sweden on €300

Planning a 3-day fishing road trip through Sweden sounds like a dream—for those of us who love fishing and discoveries. If you’re on a tight budget, don’t worry! You can enjoy a fantastic adventure without breaking the bank. Just remember, the ultimate goal is to catch fish, not to blow your budget on unnecessary extras. Let’s dive into how you can plan this trip of a lifetime on just €300.

Day 1: Arrival and Exploring Stockholm

Start your trip in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, known for its beautiful architecture, vibrant culture, and, of course, fishing opportunities. Spend your first day exploring the city and getting settled.

• Accommodation: Look for budget-friendly options. Hostels or budget hotels in Stockholm can be surprisingly affordable. A bed in a hostel might set you back around €20-€30 per person, and private rooms are usually €40-€60 per night. If you’re feeling adventurous, camping near the city can save even more money.
• Food: Stock up on snacks and meals to save on dining costs. Visit the local grocery store or explore the city’s markets for affordable eats. For dinner, head to a budget-friendly restaurant or cook your own meal in your hostel’s kitchen.
• Activities: Check out the famous ABBA The Museum for a quirky afternoon or stroll along the waterfront, Sdermalm, for some scenic views. In the evening, take a walk around the Old Town (Gamla Stan) for some photogenic spots.

Day 2: Fishing in the Stockholm Archipelago

The Stockholm Archipelago is a must-visit for anyone who loves fishing. It’s easily accessible and offers a variety of fish, including perch, pike, and trout. Best of all, it’s within a short boat ride or drive from the city.

• Fishing: Rent a fishing rod or join a guided fishing tour (if your budget allows). A basic fishing rod can be rented for around €10-€20 per day. If you’re feeling adventurous, try fishing from a small (rowboat) you rent for the day.

• Accommodation: After a long day of fishing, head back to your hostel or campsite. If you’re not in a rush to leave the city, spend another night in Stockholm to catch up on laundry or plan your next move.

• Dining: Treat yourself to a nice dinner at a local restaurant. Look for places that offer “student discounts” or are part of the city’s food scene.

Day 3: Drive to Dalsjna and Torsby

For the final day, pack up your things and hit the road. Your destination is Dalsjna, a small fishing village in the province of Bohusln, known for its beautiful scenery and excellent fishing spots. From Stockholm, it’s about a 3-hour drive, making it a perfect day trip.

• Activities:

  • Fishing: Get out there early in the morning to try your luck in the local lakes or rivers. If you’re feeling lucky, you might even catch a massive trout or salmon (depending on the season).
  • Exploring: Dalsjna is a idyllic spot for hiking, with trails that take you through forests and along lakes. If you’re not up for hiking, just enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the breathtaking views.
  • Lunch: Bring a picnic lunch with you to save money. You can pick up some snacks and sandwiches from the local supermarket.

• Accommodation: After a day of fishing and exploring, you’ll need a place to rest your head. Look for affordable options in nearby towns like Torsby or back in Stockholm if you want to extend your trip.

Budget Breakdown

To make sure your 3-day trip stays within €300, stick to the following:

• Accommodation: €80-€100/night for a hostel or budget hotel in Stockholm. If you camp, it’s around €15-€20 per night.
• Food: €25/day for snacks and meals. Combine grocery store buys with the occasional cheap restaurant dinner.
• Transport: €0-€100 for car rental (if needed). Public transport in Stockholm is affordable, but having a car gives you more flexibility.
• Fishing: €20-€50/day for rods and bait. If you bring your own gear, it’s free!

Final Tips

• Save Money: Always bring along snacks, sandwiches, and reusable water bottles. Picnic lunch is your best friend!
• Travel Light: Don’t bring unnecessary items. A small backpack, sleeping bag, and fishing gear are all you need.
• Book in Advance: Look for discounted hostels or camping options in advance to save money.
• Get Local Recommendations: Ask locals for the best spots to fish or hang out. They’ll be happy to share their knowledge!
