Spend Some Time in Stockholm

Sweden is synonymous with sleek and minimal design, but this doesn't mean it doesn't have a lot to offer. Its capital city houses everything from modern streets and bars to old world architecture and even island life. No matter what you're looking for, Stockholm is sure to have it.

Stockholm

What to See in Stockholm

The capital city of Sweden may be made up of a variety of islands, but there is much more to see there than just water. Stockholm is home to an exciting array of national monuments, museums, and streets that display an impressive collection of architecture, culture, and history. One of the many impressive sights you will find here is the Stockholm Cathedral, an example of medieval architecture in the city. Other sights to visit include the City Hall, home to the annual Nobel Prize banquet, and Stadsbibliotek, the largest public library in the country. Because there is so much to see, a walking tour of the city is a must.

Where to Go

If Scandinavian design is more of your thing, definitely head over to Östermalm, a district in the capital city where you will find the best shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Stockholm's archipelago is also a must-visit spot, especially if you're there in the summer. You can escape the bustling city and find yourself relaxing as you island hop or simply sail through the relaxing waters. If you prefer to stay in the city, you can also visit one of the many boats or pontoons that are home to some of the city's most trendy bars and restaurants.

Eat Like a Local

If coffee is a daily must for you, you'll love fika. This term basically refers to a daily social tradition which involves drinking coffee with a friend, family members, or colleagues and having a sweet pastry to accompany it. If you're looking for the perfect sweet treat to have with your coffee, try a kanelbulle, basically a cinnamon roll but with traditional Swedish flavors. Finally, if you don't want to waste time sitting down for a restaurant meal, street dogs are the perfect option. These are sold by street vendors on just about every corner and are a delicious option for when you're on the go.
