Unique, well planned, beautiful and clean. Orderly in a good way. Great public transportation system. Love the islands and ferries. Buy a transport 24 hour etc. Pass, it is easier. Diverse museums. The Toy Museum is a cool, nostalgic one, clearly a passion for the collector. Great for adults too. The Viking Museum is really good too and includes the tour guide and Viking ride at the end. Eat at the Cafe, delicious food to include the Swedish Meatballs as well as potato and leek soup. The Vasa Ship museum, WOW.... SKANSAN is an open air/living history museum, like a little Sweden. There are homes, farmsteads, churches, windmills, craftsmen, eateries, zoos etc., a very special place for all ages. Support the museums, buy at their gift shops. Note, there is a cool island where most of these are located. Also it has an amusement park with rides. Entire spectrum of entertainment and restaurants. Potable tap water. Stay in the old town, super historic. Lady Hamilton hotel was great, best of four hotel stays this trip. The antique shop owner/lady across from hotel is a treasure and has great items! Seek out the locally owned shops off the main streets; local artisans need support. Spent two nights. Wish I had done it for three. Swedes are super nice as a people and truly fluent in English. Most places have Swedish/English translations. Stockholm is a compact area and everything is closeby. Lastly, CARDS rule. VISA is best. Some MC and AMEX. Cashless society, for situational awareness. Enjoy!

Stockholm is a thrilling city, offers a lot of culture and fun activities. We went there to run the marathon and the city made it an unforgettable event. Gamla Stan is advisable within less busy hours and museums like the Nobel Price museum are worth visiting. The Vase museum is a bit overpriced but still impressive.

Stockholm offers lots of boat tours to different islands and other lakes. It also offers many places of interest such as castles , museums and less cultural places. There are also very nice restaurants. Everybody is extreamly nice and helpful wherever you go.

Stockholm is a big, but now overwhelming city, with beautiful views, closesness to the sea and many attractions. You can walk around, but also public transport is very accessable and it will take you anywhere. Also- ferries! Famous meatballs are a must-eat!

Beautiful city. Consider a bike as the main way of moving around. Lots of amazing museums for free. Great people and ice cream. If they tell you is cold/windy, believe it. Is expensive but you can get around. 3 days was OK for me. I recommend to travel to other parts of Sweden also, is a great country and connections are easy.

If I had to describe Stokholm in three words, I'd say: different, expensive and cold ;-). Different of course is a positive thing, since I have never been in a place like Swedish capital. The water is everywhere and most of citizens have their boat moored in the port. Walking through the coast was something that really made me feel Sotckgholm's specific atmosphere. There are also lots of museums worth seeing. It is actually hard to decide which ones to see. I decided to visit Nobel Center, Fotografiska and Vasa Museet. I wasn't disappointed with neither of those. Each of them was unique and gave me different kind of experience, so I can honestly reccomend all three of those. Gamla Stan is also a beautiful place to just wander and get lost between narrow streets. What suprised me in Stockholm (and it wasn't really good suprise) is that local people are pretty closed and it is not that easy to get in contact with someone when you're travelling alone. Nevertheless, I think the capital of Dala Horse and Fika is a place really worth seeing :-)
