Stockholm is an incredibly elegant Scandinavian capital, spread beautifully across a vast archipelago where the Baltic Sea meets Lake Mälaren. Exploring the city alongside Tamara reveals a destination that maintains a surprisingly intimate and natural atmosphere, seamlessly blending cutting-edge modern design with wonderfully preserved medieval history. From the vibrant, narrow cobblestone streets of the old town to the expansive, green parklands covering its central islands, Stockholm is a city built on the water, offering a brilliant mix of world-class museums, striking architecture, and a rich maritime heritage.

Highlights from Our Days in Stockholm

  • Gamla Stan (The Old Town): Getting lost in the winding, cobblestone alleyways of one of Europe's best-preserved medieval centers, and taking in the iconic, brightly painted facades of Stortorget square.

  • The Vasa Museum: Marveling at the sheer scale of the Vasa, a beautifully preserved 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage and was salvaged centuries later.

  • Exploring by Water: Taking advantage of the city's unique geography by hopping on the local ferries to cruise between the islands and see Stockholm's striking architecture right from the water.

  • The Royal Palace & City Hall: Admiring the grand, baroque facade of the Royal Palace, and visiting the iconic red-brick Stockholm City Hall, famous for its towering spire and for hosting the annual Nobel Prize banquet.

  • Djurgården's Green Spaces: Escaping the urban energy by walking through the lush, peaceful parklands of Djurgården island, home to great museums and a relaxed, natural atmosphere.
