A Wonderful Waterfront City

The capital of Sweden is one of the most beautiful and pleasant European destinations, where every visitor can find something that they like. Although spread over 14 islands off the Baltic coast, Stockholm is a relatively compact city that can be easily explored on foot, but there's an efficient and safe public transportation system available too. The city boasts all sorts of contemporary art, cutting-edge design and stunning architecture. Stockholm's old town, Gamla Stan, looks like something out of a fairytale, as it is one of the most charming and perfectly preserved historic centres in Europe with countless interesting streets, squares, churches and palaces that you can explore slowly and happily for days.

There are several top museums and galleries to visit. You can discover Vikings' treasures and warships at the Swedish History Museum, explore art at the Moderna Museet (Modern Art Museum) and learn about the legendary band Abba, its story and dazzling props at ABBA The Museum. End the day of discovering history with a tasty meal in a high-end Michelin-starred restaurant or in a local, sustainably-oriented eatery. Be it traditional or modern, Swedish master chefs have raised Stockholm's gastronomy to an enviably high level.

The Swedish capital is like a living gallery – sophisticated style that can be seen everywhere you look is part of its DNA.

The Swedish capital is like a living gallery – sophisticated style that can be seen everywhere you look is part of its DNA. The city is not only beautiful on the outside, in fact, any building you enter, you will notice every single detail has been meticulously designed. This is a perfect opportunity to enjoy sophisticated cafés and restaurants, admire your room's and hotel's imaginative design and buy some stylish mementoes in one of the many designer shops with local products. Here, good design is not luxury, but something one's entitled to. You’ll notice that even seemingly the most basic coffee shops feature great design – a lot of thought has been put into everything, from lighting and cups to glasses and utensils.
