in a nutshell
‘Chic’ doesn’t come close. Stockholm has been at the forefront of the fashion and design worlds for years. More recently, a burgeoning taste for Scandinavian food, music and drama has cemented its status as among the coolest of global cities. With such a reputation, it’s easy to forget Stockholm possesses one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval Old Towns, and that the wild beauty of the rest of Sweden is within easy reach. It’s not cheap, but this is one of those occasions when quality is probably worth paying for.
