Hi Buck

While you´re in Stockholm and it´s in the middle of summer you really dont wanna miss this one out:

And I´d recommend you go by boat as well to enjoy the scenery of swedish archipelago. Here´s a link with information about the boats and timetables:

Depending on the weather this is truly a great yet humble trip over day with great food, scenery and atmosphere!


Good luck with your vacation

If you are in Stockholm and it's really hot i'll recomend a drink at the Ice Bar @ Nordic Sea Hotel.

It's a strange experience having a cold drink in an ice glass in the middle of the summer!

What about the other locations or the road/countryside between our hotels?

In Stockholm:

To get a great view from high up you can try Kaknästornet, Stadshuset and Katarinahissen.

Djurgården is a nice park area with a lot of museums (incl Wasamuseum), the Gröna Lund amusement park, the Skansen zoo and other attractions.

For pubs visit Götgatan and the area around Stureplan for clubs.

Drottninggatan and the area around Sergels Torg and Hötorget is good for shopping.
