Stockholm is a stylish, vibrant city, restless and effortlessly cool in equal measure. A place known for its minimalist design, dynamic art scene, and thriving bar scene, Stockholm features highly on top city break lists for couples and families alike.
Natives of the city live in traditional apartment blocks, the most common form of housing in the capital. If your ideal holiday includes having locals as your neighbours and the city's attractions within easy reach, staying in one is a must!
Apartments are typically found in colourful buildings opening directly onto the street. Inside, you’ll find lofty ceilings, wooden floors, and gorgeous Scandinavian interior design incorporating luxurious, neutral textiles and groovy lighting.
A mecca for the modern art enthusiast
For art fanatics or those who just enjoy browsing a beautifully put together gallery, Stockholm has heaps to offer. The art scene is open and diverse; exhibitions change regularly and incorporate politically charged photography and thought-provoking cultural projects.
Placed in an imposing Art Nouveau brick building, Fotografiska houses the works of both established and lesser-known photographers. The top floor boasts a stylish eatery with exquisite views. The restaurant downstairs offers the perfect setting for a cultural outing with seasonal dishes and fine wine on the waterfront.
In addition to Fotografiska, there’s the Modern Museum of Art with pieces by Picasso and Dali, as well as Magasin III, featuring ambitious art projects by internationally acclaimed artists.
Trendy tipples and booming clubs
Stockholm’s nightlife has a young, fun vibe, but is enjoyed by all ages. While staying at Stockholm accommodation, you can start your evening in a relaxed fashion, cooking dinner and enjoying homemade cocktails on your private terrace.
If you’re itching to see what's out there, however, the bars and clubs are plentiful. Start your evening at Mosebacke Terrace, which serves up tapas and a breathtaking view of the city, and is conveniently right next to Mosebacke Etablissement, the hippest club in town.
The Soap Bar also guarantees a fun night out, and Sturecompagniet is legendary. As they're both centrally located, you'll be able to get back your home-away-from-home easily for a good night's rest.
Island wonders minutes from the city centre
Stockholm, known as the “Venice of the North,” comprises 14 islands on the banks of the archipelago where Lake Mälaren joins the Baltic Sea. The nearness of water makes for many pleasing days out in and around the city. In the summertime, enjoy the family-friendly beach on Långholmen island.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, take the train out of the city and bask in the beauty of the archipelago. You can reach the rugged coastline in less than an hour from your centrally located Stockholm apartment. Enjoy the salty air and fresh, sandy beaches, the perfect contrast to an action-packed day in the city.
