The capital of Sweden, Stockholm is one of Scandinavia’s most popular holiday destinations. Start your day with a decadent hot chocolate at Chokladkoppen, before wandering the medieval streets of beautiful Gamla Stan. Fashionistas will love stocking up on Swedish labels like Acne, Cheap Monday and Filippa K, while history buffs will be spoilt for choice thanks to Stockholm’s 70 museums. Popular options include Vasa museum and its 17th century warship, along with the unique open air museum and zoo that is Skansen. Royalists will enjoy the Royal Palace and Drottningholm Palace, while art lovers shouldn’t miss The National Museum (Nationalmuseet) and the Museum of Modern Art (Moderna museet.) To see Stockholm at its beautiful best, take a boat tour of the city’s glorious waterways. When hunger strikes, you’re in luck – Stockholm’s food is a tourist attraction unto itself. Classic Swedish dishes include gravlax (cured salmon) and meatballs (köttbullar), often served with boiled potatoes and lingonberry jam. Dining out can be expensive, so choosing self-catering Stockholm accommodation is a great way to save money. Östermalms Saluhall is a great place for food shopping, and has been supplying Stockholm foodies with beautiful produce since 1888.
