Your Destination —
Stockholm
As one of Europe's most enchanting, well-designed and dynamic destinations, Stockholm is an ideal choice for a city break in every season. From the fashion, to the architecture, vibrant dining scene and wealth of ever-evolving museums, this 'Beauty on the Water' offers something for guests of every age and description.
Spread across 14 islands, and yet surprisingly compact, the city of Stockholm is interconnected via a series of 57 charming bridges, which allow guests to walk between attractions with ease. The highlights across Sweden's capital seem endless, but Gamla Stan remains a firm favourite - one of the best-preserved districts seen across Europe, from the cobblestone streets to the cosy shops and cafés, where handicrafts, souvenirs and tasty, local treats can be found.
In addition to the winding, historical streets, Stockholm also promises an array of fantastic museums, the most famous of which is possibly the Vasa Museum. As the home of the only preserved seventeenth-century ship in the world, ornately decorated with hundreds of carved sculptures despite the 333 years it spent underwater following its maiden voyage - this is undoubtedly a must-see attraction when visiting Stockholm!
