So, pack your suitcase and head to the capital city of Sweden, where people are finally saying goodbye to the harsh winter weather and flowers are starting to bloom. This sprawling city covers many islands, each with their own distinct character, connected by beautiful bridges and waterways, with architecture dating back to the 13th century. It’s a great place just to walk around and take in the city, but there are plenty of other things to do too!
Get in touch with your inner child at the Stockholm Toy Museum. Head underground with its unique entrance located in the tunnel systems and browse around their collection of over 40,000 childhood artefacts, dating back to the 17th century. Enjoy a huge, interactive, fully nostalgic collection of toys, games, dolls, and more!
Continue your magical escape from the 21st century, with a visit to old-world Sweden, in the world's oldest open-air museum Skansen. Immerse yourself in the traditions, culture and craftsmanship of the past, with wild animals roaming around to keep you company!
If you want to head back even further then, you can take the Viking ride 'Ragnfrid’s Saga' at The Viking Museum. See how the Vikings traded and raided via informative and interactive exhibits and browse 30 objects on loan from the Swedish History Museum.
If all this history has left you needing some R&R, then head to the Nacka nature reserve to sweat it out in one of their saunas, a constitutional part of Nordic culture! And as one of the hottest foodie places in Europe, you will want to put time aside to bag yourself a table at one of the many restaurants in the capital, from authentic Swedish cuisine to Middle Eastern, Michelin Star and stylish brunch spots.
So, step into Spring and enjoy the stunning scenery of Stockholm!
