Ah, Stockholm!
The capital of Sweden is indeed a handsome destination to be in. As I was there last year in July for the TBEX (Travel Blog Exchange) Europe Conference, I had a couple days when I managed to sightsee and explore this beautiful nordic city. Working with the Visit Stockholm Tourism Board, this is what I did on my tour of Stockholm:
- Trips on the water with Good Morning Stockholm Tours
- A bespoke guided tour ‘Under the Rainbow’ by Marco Giertz from Stockholm Guide Services
- Contextual walking tour of ‘From Bloodbath to Realpolitik: War and Peace in Sweden’
- Opening TBEX party at Haymarket by Scandic Hotel (a very luxurious affair!)
- Staying at Generator Hostel Stockholm
- Travel Massive Nordic Party at Hotel Rival
- Closing TBEX party at Vasa Museum
- After party at Pop House and ABBA the Museum
- KeyFlow Access to VIP events in Stockholm
But it’s impossible for me to go into great detail to tell you what I did. So, I thought I’d show you 85 reasons why Stockholm is handsome through my photos that I lovingly took in this beautiful city of the north. Here there are, I hope you enjoy. If you have any questions about what to do in Stockholm, why not leave a comment below?
