The beautiful city of Stockholm, capital of Sweden lies in the south of the country and is made up of some 14 small islands linked together by bridges. It's a beautiful, cosmopolitan place to visit with tonnes of fascinating things to see and do: including plenty of beautiful architecture; several world class museums and galleries including the award winning outdoor Skansen Museum of Swedish life and cultural history; and of course the majestic Royal Palace (almost identical to Buckingham Palace in London, only colder) where you can see the stunning crown jewels and the traditional changing of the guard ceremony.
The shopping in Stockholm is reputed to be some of the best in Europe, and prices are quite low on designer goods, making it a great place to pick up a bargain or two, in the evening, the vibrant nightlife of Stockholm is centred on countless bars and clubs, and there are plenty of places to eat out in and perhaps even try a Smorgasbord.
Increasing in popularity as a short break destination, and also as the entry point into the country for people wanting to explore the rest of Sweden, you can get cheap deals on flights to Stockholm throughout the year, and the wide selection of places to stay in the city, which is of a very high standard, is great value for money.
