Stockholm, the capital of Sweden has been a tourist destination for centuries. A city built on islands Stockholm is the perfect place to visit any time of year due to its temperate climate and overwhelming amount of attractions and cultural opportunities.
Stockholm is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful national capitals in the world. The Old Town is particularly spectacular, and walking around the city's waterways and parks is a glorious way to spend a week-long stretch of European summer.

During summer months in Stockholm one can spend a day merely travelling the street of the city and taking in the beautiful city around you. Haga Park is a great place to spend the entire day and night. The park is home to the cities Butterfly house, a museum where butterflies and birds fly freely about. and Kunggliga Slottet, the 18th century Royal Palace that is still used to house the royal family making it the largest castle in the world still used to its original purpose.

Once you have seen the city from the water, you can see the city from the air. City Hall (Satdshuset) and Kaknastornet both will allow you travel to their top and see a panoramic view of the entire city. Kaknastornet is the largest man made structure in Scandinavia and in addition to its observation tower also houses a wonderful restaurant. Stadhuset in addition to being the city hall for Stockholm also houses a banquet hall where the Nobel Prize is awarded.
Housing in Stockholm can be as much of a historical experience as visiting the cities landmark. Several of the cities hostels are housed in historical ships on the water. Af Chapman in particular is often thought of more of a landmark than a hostel. Originally a member of the British Fleet the ship became a hostel for the city in 1949. The city also has numerous hotels at different quality and price levels to ensure that you are able to find exactly the accommodations you are looking for during your trip.
Once the sun goes down Stockholm offers the best in Swedish nightlife. Hundreds of clubs and bars are available for travellers to experience Swedish culture, and party well into the night.
