Visit Stockholm
Sweden is one of the most affordable travel destinations in Western Europe. This statement would have raised some eyebrows a few years back, but it has become reality. So why not go to Stockholm this year? A brief Stockholm city travel guide follows -
Leaders from both continents may have different opinions about world politics, but US travelers love Europe, just like Europeans love to see the US. Some American tour operators and travel agencies even expect to sell more trips to Europe this year than ever before.
The city is built on 14 islands and has another 24,000 just around the corner. Wherever you go you will always get a glimpse of water. It’s a very green city too. Stockholm is the only capital in the world with a legally protected national park within the city borders.
And that’s not all. There’s a well-preserved old town centre with medieval streets and alleys. The city has about 100 museums that are all different and appealing to all ages – and many even have free admission.
The vibrant nightlife and modern shopping district keep you busy after sightseeing, while the relaxed atmosphere and stunningly clean streets only add to your holiday mood.
Sweden is a great choice. Sweden is an EU country (no visa required for Americans), but the Swedes still pay with crowns, not with euros.
To check if prices in the Nordic country are really that much lower, I compared prices of three well-located three-star hotels in the Swedish capital Stockholm with similar hotels in the popular capitals of two euro-countries, Paris and Rome.
