Things to Do in Stockholm
Plan your days in Stockholm, your way
Stockholm gives a little of everything, generously.
Morning in Gamla Stan before the crowds, coffee in hand.
The Vasa Museum, the one sight everyone agrees on.
Fika at a Södermalm café, cinnamon bun, no rush.
Wander SoFo's vintage shops and side streets without a map.
Ferry to Djurgården just for the ride across the harbor.
Climb Monteliusvägen at sunset for the view of the year.
Dinner on meatballs or something braver, your call.
One city, fourteen islands, easy pace.
You'll leave already planning the return.
