 Visitors to Stockholm can’t say they know Sweden’s stylish capital until they’ve experienced a quartet of one-off lures. An entire day or more can be spent at Skansen, the world’s oldest open air museum enjoying costumed musicians, craftsmen and century old buildings.
Another full day lure is Gamla Stan, the Old Town where Stockholm began in the 13th century. The streets here are lined with colourful buildings from another era while there’s a happy atmosphere among visitors and shop keepers.
Take time out from sightseeing, shopping and Swedish meatballs for a canal cruise that provides yet another perspective of this chic city on the water.
An illustrated feature on Stockholm can be written on assignment from 1000 to 2000 words, depending upon editorial requirements, and supplied with a selection of hi-res digital images.
