Top 10 Things to Experience on Your Visit in Stockholm

If you don’t mind having a few hours of sunshine during the winter and money draining so fast from your pocket, then Stockholm, Sweden’s cultural, political, and economic capital is your next travel destination in Northern Europe. Spreading over more than a dozen of islands and connected by bridges, Stockholm is tourist-friendly with a broad range of public transport including trams, buses, metros, trains and ferries. This bustling city surely has got the look and a bit of everything for everyone from elegant boutiques, fine craft stores, cozy cafes and restaurants to impressive sets of museums including the famous ABBA Museum.’

Swedes, like Norwegians and Finns, are more reserved and introverted, so don’t expect them to start a conversation or be the first to lend out a helping hand. However, I find Swedes polite and helpful when I needed help. You jut have to ask for it. Swedes’ perfect English is a major plus because if you understand English, you will feel at ease traveling in a foreign country.

Plan your day wisely if you travel to Stockholm not in the summer when the days are much shorter. Allocate your budget for the trip and be aware that Stockholm is ridiculously expensive. What you spend for a weekend trip here can last you at least a week in Eastern Europe.

There are many things to do and see in Stockholm, and you will find different travel tips from other travel websites and travel blogs. Below my list, and I hope you find it useful while planning your trip to Stockholm.boo

Buses’ emission didn’t pollute the environment as confirmed by my mini experiment. But come all the way to Sweden and smell the bus? Well, Whenever I visited Scandinavia, I somehow got bored and did strange things.
