Go to Stockholm

If you’re planning a trip to Stockholm, you’ve come to the right place. Go To Stockholm is a traveller’s advice website centred entirely around taking a break in Sweden’s stunning capital.

Stockholm at a glance

Stockholm is a vibrant and beautiful city nestled in the heart of Scandinavia. Modern culture and a bustling nightlife mix seamlessly with 750 years of rich history and medieval architecture. Perfect for the independent explorer, most of Stockholm can be navigated on foot in a relatively manageable space of time. The city is built on fourteen islands that are connected by fifty-seven bridges so your journey will be visually rewarding to say the least!

Stockholm’s archipelago

Tourists might expect to experience the wonderfully unique winding streets lined with craft shops, art galleries and cafes. Or Gamla Stan, one of the oldest and best preserved medieval city centres in the world. Not to mention The Vasa, the only preserved 17th Century ship in the world that can be found in The Vasa Museum in Stockholm. No, what visitors are often most surprised by is the amazing archipelago of Stockholm. There are over 30,000 islands, islets and skerries that make up the archipelago, all accessible from Stockholm in under two hours. In no time at all you can find yourself feeling a million miles away from civilisation on your own island surrounded by bountiful wildlife that is unique to Sweden. The peace and beauty of these islands is simply awe-inspiring and worth the trip alone.

A city for all seasons

No matter what time of the year you choose to go to Stockholm, you will not be disappointed. The city morphs itself to the season; in summer it is fresh, vibrant, colourful and bright. The sun barely goes down and the evenings brim with people eating in open-air restaurants and revelling until the early hours. In autumn and winter, the mood changes and a romantic, dreamy feel veils the city as cosily dressed couples promenade over bridges under the twinkling lights that reflect in the water. A truly magical experience.

So, whether you are visiting Stockholm for a short city break or main holiday, you will find plenty to do and see in this capital city that’s brimming with variety, life and wonder.
