The Nordic countries often evoke a sense of chic sophistication. Sweden's capital, Stockholm, offers a calm and serene atmosphere, completely different from Tokyo. With fewer crowds, it’s an ideal travel destination!
Here are some spots in Stockholm where you can enjoy its stylish scenery 😍
① Riddarholmen Church (Photo 1)
A quietly standing church in the Old Town. This historic site is the burial place of numerous Swedish kings⛪️. It is said to be one of the oldest buildings in Stockholm. Representing the medieval era, joining a guided tour is recommended to learn about its history. Visiting in the evening, the backlight created a very stylish ambiance📸.
② Artificial Beach (Photos 2 and 3)
Not exactly a tourist hotspot, but it’s a place with benches where you can admire the sea and the historic, stylish buildings across the shore. Personally, I highly recommend it. The scenery at dusk is particularly captivating, and everything—from the people walking by to those sitting on the benches—feels chic🤍. If you’re tired from walking, stop by here and enjoy the twilight moments!
③ Ivar Los Park (Photo 4)
This isn’t a main tourist attraction either, but it’s a great spot to view Riddarholmen Island and Stockholm’s city center from above. Located about a 15-minute walk from the Artificial Beach (②), it has several benches where you can enjoy a stunning panorama🙌. It’s a romantic spot, especially recommended for couples☺️. If you have time, definitely check it out!
④ Stockholm Central Station (Photo 5)
The central hub of Stockholm. If you’re visiting Stockholm, you’ll likely use this station, and it’s incredibly stylish! The purple circular dome-shaped hall is simply breathtaking.
⑤ Grand Hôtel Stockholm (Photo 6)
Known as the most prestigious hotel in Stockholm, the Grand Hôtel is where Nobel Prize winners stay. Its exterior is stunning, adorned with flags that make it stand out. Of course, the accommodation costs are on the higher side, so you’ll need to splurge a bit 😅.
Stockholm is full of stylish spots, even beyond the main tourist attractions. Be sure to visit and experience its charm!
