Sweden’s capital city Stockholm has much to offer – stunning sights, gastronomic delights and, best of all, a laid-back lifestyle. The high quality of life in Stockholm is mirrored in the satisfaction of its residents and stylish hotels. With dozens of canals and waterways, you can see why it is often called the Venice of the North. Walk or cycle your way around this city of lagoons – and don’t forget to stop for fika (the Swedish tradition of afternoon coffee and cake with friends). Read on to discover the best hotels in Stockholm.
