HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
Lively nightlife > A boat trip to the Archipelago > Fresh seafood

One of the most appealing cities in Europe, and with the added attraction of a vast archipelago of islands within easy striking distance, Stockholm is ideal short break territory.

The city itself is built on a series of islands, and in the depths of winter, when the sea is frozen solid, children can be seen ice skating to school past the enormous Royal Palace.

There is a wide range of top class museums and attractions, and excellent restaurants showcasing the very best in what is a resurgent cuisine. Add a plethora of bars and some extremely chic clubs, and Stockholm is as much fun when the sun goes down as it is during the days – which can be brief in the extreme during the deep winter months.

In summer the beautiful and diverse islands of the archipelago come into their own, and city dwellers flock to their holiday homes and take to the crystal clear waters of the Baltic in yachts and kayaks.

There are a number of excellent hotels out in the archipelago, but it is just as easy to take a day trip to the likes of Sandhamn Island, where there are often sailing regattas.

Particularly hip is the Berns Hotel, a daring revamp of one of Sweden’s most famous hotels, where the ballroom now houses a bar and weekend nightclub, and the rooms are a perfect mix of design flair and traditional comfort.

The nearby Grand Hotel is the most famous hotel in Sweden, and has some of the best views from any hotel rooms on the planet, across the harbour and on to the Royal Palace on the far shore.

Finally, the Nordic Sea Hotel is conveniently situated next to the Arlanda Express station for fast trains to and from the airport, and is a classic of Scandinavian style with clean lines and classy design.
