Magnificent waterways, islands, palaces and parks, Sweden’s capital is a must for anyone interested in beautiful cities. You’d be forgiven for thinking of meatballs, snow and furniture stores when we mention Stockholm. The fact is, the Swedes are indeed masters of design, and they certainly know how to whip up a tasty meatball or two.
Fly to Stockholm in the summer months for balmy temperatures and plenty of sunshine – these are the perfect conditions for strolling along the city’s harbourfront. Mid-July tends to offer the warmest weather. The festive period is also highly recommended, when the streets and buildings are bathed in twinkly Christmas lights.
If you want to experience a slightly quieter Stockholm, avoid the months of June, July and August, when prices soar and the tourist numbers swell. April and May are both good months to visit in, as the temperatures can often be mild and the city’s parks and flowers are blooming.
