Sweden - Stockholm

"I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in your yours"

 - Bob Dylan

Norwegian landing in Sweden - stunning...

Scandinavian life is dreamy on its own, but add in some lovely Finns, and a perfect time to just forget about real life for a bit. It's the most civilised country in the world, from the minute you land to the Arlanda Express that travels at 190km/hr to get you into downtown in 20 minutes. It only gets better - one of those places you can come back to every season and get a new amazing experience. I love Scandinavia in the winter because it's cozy and they do it right with saunas and cardamon desserts.

Finns and Poles unite in Stockholm

 The Essentials:
1) Hotel: The Diplomat hotel- great breakfast, bar, rooms, views and private sauna. Very charming and centrally located with amazing staff

Lovely morning wakeup in Stockholm

2) Restaurants: Love the Flying Elk (and the grapefruit G&T) and Sturehof for seafood

Surrounded by Sea

3) Stores: other than design stores which are stunning, there is NK + Acne Studios which are my fav and H&M since it's local. Behind NK there is great home store called Cervera (reminds me of Canvas in NYC which was my favorite) - rustic, simple, lovely

Ture Scandi Charm

The views by the water are calming - just a quiet and relaxing city overall with warm people and great spirit for being chill but having a good time too!! You can't go wrong, just spend more time here.
