Stockholm
Set across 14 islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea, Stockholm is a city shaped by water, nature and understated Scandinavian elegance. Often described as one of Europe’s most harmonious capitals, it blends serene green spaces with striking contemporary design and centuries of royal history.

The gastronomy of Stockholm reflects Sweden’s pure, seasonal flavours. Enjoy dishes such as cured salmon, herring, meatballs with lingonberries or creamy seafood stews served by the water’s edge. Trendy neighbourhood eateries specialise in modern Nordic cuisine, while local bakeries tempt visitors with warm cinnamon buns and cardamom pastries. Cafés and restaurants across Gamla Stan and Södermalm emphasise fresh ingredients, minimalist presentation and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Dive deeper:
Beyond the iconic sights, Stockholm offers a rich tapestry of experiences.

Art and culture enthusiasts can visit cutting-edge galleries, while nature lovers will appreciate the city’s abundance of lakeside parks and forests. Whether in winter’s soft twilight or summer’s long golden evenings, Stockholm reveals a unique charm in every season.
Good to know:
Stockholm is served by Stockholm Arlanda Airport, located about 40 minutes from the city centre by train or car. The best time to visit is from May to September, when the weather is mild and daylight hours are long, although winter offers magical snowy scenery and cosy indoor culture. The local currency is the Swedish krona (SEK).
Helsinki
Welcome to Finland
One of the world's most sustainable and eco-conscious destinations, Helsinki, the vibrant capital of Finland, is a beautiful seaside city that boasts urban charm, historic majesty and a dynamic dining scene. In addition to the urban elements of this destination, including the many museums, concerts, and Finnish flavours, Helsinki acts as a gateway to some of the country's most beautiful nature. While the Helsinki Archipelago is made up of over 300 unique islands, the city is also nestled less than two hours away from six spectacular national parks, making Finland's beautiful capital the ultimate base for a holiday that combines the best of both worlds.

Culinary scene
Local chefs turn Arctic ingredients, such as wild berries, reindeer, and mushrooms, into sophisticated dishes with minimalist flair. Food markets like Vanha Kauppahalli (Old Market Hall) offer an authentic taste of Finnish fare, from salmon soup and rye bread to smoked fish and cloudberry jam. Coffee culture runs deep; locals drink more than anywhere else in the world.
Good to know
The local currency is the euro. Summer (June–August) is the best time to visit for festivals and near-endless daylight, while winter offers magical snowscapes and Christmas markets. Trams, bikes and ferries make getting around easy and enjoyable.
Tallinn
Estonia's capital, sitting on the edge of the Baltic Sea is known for its medieval Old Town. Most of the streets are pedestrian only, allowing visitors to roam and stroll along as they admire the beautiful merchant houses that display Gothic architecture.
The city is divided into two towns, with the upper section which once housed wealthy Germans and the lower section which housed the poor Estonians, formed two distinct styles within the city. This is why you can find the majestic Toompea Castle in the Upper Town, a stronghold site since the 9th century that today houses the Parliament of Estonia and in the Lower Town, the market.
