#northerneurope

📍 Location: spread across 14 islands in Sweden
🕰 Best time to visit: late spring to early autumn (long days, soft light)
🎫 Cost: mid to high, but many scenic spots are free

🌊 What to do

* Wander through Gamla Stan – cobbled streets, ochre buildings, royal vibes
* Visit the Vasa Museum – giant 17th-century warship that actually sank ⚓
* Take a ferry – the city is made for boats, and the views are unreal 🚤
* Chill at Monteliusvägen – short cliffside walk with dreamy city views
* Explore Södermalm – vintage shops, indie cafés, and effortless cool

🍽 Don’t miss

* Fika – the art of coffee and cake breaks ☕🍰
* Cinnamon buns – especially from Fabrique or Vete-Katten
* Fresh herring, salmon, and pickles if you’re feeling local 🐟
* Open-air museum Skansen – history, animals, and tradition in one

🌟 Tips

* 🎫 Get a SL card for public transport – works on metro, buses, and boats
* 📸 Bring a camera – golden hour in Stockholm hits different
* 🧥 Layers – even in summer, evenings can be crisp
