What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word “Stockholm”? IKEA? H&M? Absolute Vodka? Herring? Snow? ABBA The Museum? The Royal Palace? Even though you can find all of these things in the Swedish capital, the city has much more to offer. Stockholm (the ‘World’s Smallest Big City’) is unquestionably a city that should be visited once in a lifetime.

With its idyllic islands, beautiful waterfronts, spice-rack-hued medieval buildings, chic coffee shops, outstanding restaurants, exclusive shopping centres, world-renowned museums, majestic parks and gardens, and tree-lined boulevards, it is no wonder that the city is a dream destination for many visitors from all over the world.

In short, the splendid natural beauty, impressive architecture, award-winning design, high-end shopping, traditional Swedish cuisine, and excellent coffee culture make the city an obvious travel choice. Unlike other European cities, Stockholm is an amazing destination to relax, unwind, and live in the present moment. In the city, you will not find a cacophony of too many cars or too many people, fast-moving rush-hour traffic, and skyscrapers making the sky seem small.

It is one of the safest, cleanest and most peaceful cities in all of Europe. It is neither known for its warmth nor for its budget-friendly activities. But, you can still visit the city during the winter months, enjoy the jaw-dropping winter scenery, indulge in a lot of winter-friendly activities, and see most of the unmissable tourist attractions, without breaking the bank. Just get the Stockholm Pass and use public transport to make the most of your trip to this magnificent city!
