Stockholm Travel Guide: How to Feel, Eat and Live the Most Beautiful Capital in Northern Europe
About this audiobook
Stockholm is the city that teaches you that beauty doesn't need monumentality to be completely extraordinary.
Built on fourteen islands at the exact point where Lake Mälaren pours its waters into the Baltic, Stockholm has something no other European capital can claim with the same conviction: the perfect harmony between water, forest, architecture and light that changes from hour to hour and season to season always creating something you haven't seen exactly like this before. Its medieval streets of Gamla Stan, the Vasa Museum with the world's most perfectly preserved seventeenth-century warship, the Scandinavian design that democratized good domestic taste across the planet, the new Nordic cuisine that revolutionized world gastronomy, the kanelbullar and the fika and the archipelago of thirty thousand islands extending toward the Baltic.
In just over an hour you will discover how to get around a city of fourteen islands and seventy bridges, what to see without wasting time, where to eat köttbullar and gravlax the way real Stockholmers eat them, how a night that starts earlier and ends earlier but that in summer can last until the sun rises again at three in the morning actually works, and how to organize your trip around however many days you have. Complete with itineraries for two, four and six days, practical advice on weather, money and Scandinavian customs, and the best day trips: the archipelago, Uppsala, Drottningholm, Sigtuna and Gotland with its medieval city of Visby.
Stockholm is waiting for you. And it is exactly as extraordinary, as clean and as visually perfect as they say. And at the same time much warmer and much more full of life than its exterior image might suggest.
