Graffiti is classified as ‘street art’, frumpy or clunky design is a rarity, and the city is as safe and clean as it is hip and cosmopolitan. You’ll come back poorer, but cooler and more chilled – skål!
Go for a sauna and massage, or hire a private Turkish bath at the Sturebadet (www.sturebadet.se). Head to the beach. In winter, go skiing in Flottsbro, or skating in Kungsträdgården Park.
Our round-up of the hippest hideaways and romantic boutique hotels in Stockholm
With the ornate main bar big enough to hold a double-decker bus, the Berns Hotel’s public spaces are on a very opulent and grand scale.
Stockholm's Hotel J on Nacka Strand, stands on the shore of the Saltsjön waterway, and there is a distinct feel of New England in the red, white and blue scheme.
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
This cosy, homely place with checked tablecloths dishes up Swedish favourites such as meatballs, pickled seafood and cheeses. The traditional bar downstairs is as popular as the eatery itself.
Karlbergsvägen, 14
There are two Erik's in Stockholm, but Erik's Gondolen, partly suspended beneath a pedestrian footbridge that connects the island of Gamla Stan with the island of Södermalm, is the most spectacular. Gain access through a (free) private elevator from the Stadtsgården and find a restaurant with a decor that hasn't changed much since it was built as an engineering oddity in 1935. The menu, if you can take your eyes off the panoramic views, is a mixture of French and Swedish cuisine.
Fredrikshovsgatan 4
A business-y crowd comes here for lunch, and a more casual, stylish crowd arrives at night, all to enjoy some of the best food in town. Chef Melker Andersson works his magic, creating Swedish-, Asian- and European-inspired dishes that defy convention.
Fredsgatan, 12
So named because the building was supposed to be a hotel before the developer's plans changed, Hotellet houses a restaurant serving Mediterranean food, a rooftop terrace with sunloungers and a cool club, all under one roof.
Linnégatan 18
