Stockholm Flights

Set on the Baltic Sea, Stockholm is on an archipelago of some 24,000 islands. Swathes of the city are either waterways or parks and green spaces – this is a place you can really enjoy a fresh, spacious feel not often found in a capital city. Known also for its design, fashion and nightclubs, this is a city in where people-watching is an attraction in itself. In summer you can certainly get some mileage out of one day – it's light for about 18 hours; but conversly you only get about 6 hours of light per day in winter.

Old Town

Here's a quick guide to the central neighbourhoods so you can hit the ground running, or meandering, whichever you prefer:

• Gamla Stan – the enchanting old town, with its cobblestone streets and attractive buildings, is dominated by the Royal Palace; the adjacent island is Riddarholmen and its church is the burial place of Swedish monarchs
• Norrmalm – the commericial and business hub is here along with the summertime tourist-swamped pedestrian shopping street Drottninggatan, laid out in the 1630s
• Östermalm – this is an upmarket neighbourhood dotted with a large city park, high end shopping and nightlife, several museums (including the Skansen open air museum) an amusement park and Stockholm University
• Södermalm – home to rugged terain and many restaurants, bars and pubs
