Stockholm is a beautiful city where you will find modern ideas among historical landscape. The city has a lots of cycle lanes and electric scooters for hire, for getting around the city which has meant a great reduction of cars within the city.
While there we walked across one of Stockholm's beautiful bridges to Old Town where we visited the Noble Prize Museum which had a good mixture of literature on past winners and practical learning for the kids.
In Old town there are lots of small shops for your tourists trinkets and some terrific cafes.
We went in February and enjoyed ice staking in Kungsträdgården that was free (apart from hiring skates) before visiting the Vasa Museum to see the Vasa ship from the 17th century.
Tip: Stockholm is almost completely cash free where the locals have embraced contactless payments and even advertise that they do not accept cash.
We visited Haga park for walking, cycling and seeing the Crown Princess Victoria's Residence Haga Castle.
For evening meals with a difference, there is dinner at Junibacken – Museum of Fairytales and Stories where not also do they server great food but they also offer a very unique fairly tale ride.
Or a night of games and dinner at the Kastellet Fortress, Vaxholm where you can enjoy the local cuisine.
Overall we found Stockholm to be a beautiful place to visit with the perfect balance of history and modern convenience, from Old Town to modern shopping centres, from dinning in a castle to having a burger at Hard Rock Cafe.
Travel by bike, electric scooter, water taxi or just a nice walk, you will find Stockholm has a lot to offer.
