Don\'t miss SKansa - and spend the day there, we went too late and were disappointed. Junibacken is also brilliant for kids. The Hostel was scrupulously clean all the time - we were sharing toilet and shower facilities and they were never dirty. Though I found the atmosphere here a little like a hotel - not really a meeting spot for travellers. The kitchen was huge. Immaculate and well stocked. Also, you could rent a fridge of your own for about €2. Really good.close

It was snowing when i arrived and the place was paved in white..really beautiful! The old town is so quaint and lovely..i had a chance to visit the vasa museum and the skansen...skansen is a place where all the old swedish buildings have been moved to, depicting life in the different eras...you can go into the houses, see what it\'s like, talk to the \"people\" who are also in costume, buy pasteries from them, see the animals etc. Very fun day out! Also, the shopping there is not bad, HnMs are everywhere...there are also many big shopping centres to visit and makes a good shopping area. Also, don\'t forget to take a boat ride, even if it is just to get somewhere. It is a most beautiful experience with a lot of fresh air and veryvery nice people who are willing to help you! I recieved help from at least 5 people in the day that i was there. I love stockholm! Definitely worth visiting!close

Well, it was really cold when I was in Stockholm but it seems like a great city and I need to go back in the summer time to really see what it\'s like. The hostel was fine, clean and a full kitchen which was nice because Stockholm is really expensive especially since I am from the US and...more Well, it was really cold when I was in Stockholm but it seems like a great city and I need to go back in the summer time to really see what it\'s like. The hostel was fine, clean and a full kitchen which was nice because Stockholm is really expensive especially since I am from the US and the dollar is so weak. close

Beautiful city, wonderful in the summer (trips to the arcipelago, GRONA LUND, djungarden, view of Gamla Stan...), less in the winter if weather doesn\'t allow you to stay outside. Cheap food (Korv med brod...) is really good and easy to find, but if you are looking for a restaurant,...more Beautiful city, wonderful in the summer (trips to the arcipelago, GRONA LUND, djungarden, view of Gamla Stan...), less in the winter if weather doesn\'t allow you to stay outside. Cheap food (Korv med brod...) is really good and easy to find, but if you are looking for a restaurant, expecially in the centre, prepare your wallet!close

The weather is not that cold in February but the highlight would be the heavy snow downpour that awaits you. Walking around city is very easy. Tube,ferry or bus are not necessary unless you want to travel further away from the city center. 3 days to nights trip is enough for you to see most of Stockholm best attractions.close

Accomodation was warm,clean and comfortable but a few things kinda bugged me about the place...it\'s advertised as bed and breakfast but you have to pay extra money for breakfast, there was no headboard on my bead, no side table and there was very little soaps and gels available in the...more Accomodation was warm,clean and comfortable but a few things kinda bugged me about the place...it\'s advertised as bed and breakfast but you have to pay extra money for breakfast, there was no headboard on my bead, no side table and there was very little soaps and gels available in the bathroom. There was also noisy guests one night, that affected a good night sleep. Apart from that it was clean and comfortable. It\'s maybe about 3 mile from centre but trains run regularly to Alvsjo station and it\'s about 10 min walk from there. close

Lot\'s of antique/second hand shops with good bargains. But... The subway is crazy. You have to buy really expensive tickets that are only valid for 1 hour. Most museums don\'t have any translation for what\'s written next to their exibits. Eating is really expensive and most restaurants (including McDonalds) are closed by 9pm.close

Stockholm has become a city of design, fashion, innovation, and world-class food. The streets are flowing with a young people keen to drink the newest trendy joint. You can sense this energy as crowds that pack the street cafés discussing life over an espresso and from behind designer...more Stockholm has become a city of design, fashion, innovation, and world-class food.

The City can seem a little deserted at times, but don't let that put you off. A lot of venues are tucked away and don't look impressive at first glance but they are! Very polite service everywhere. The City can be explored very easily on foot or by public transport, it is spread out...more The City can seem a little deserted at times, but don't let that put you off. A lot of venues are tucked away and don't look impressive at first glance but they are! Very polite service everywhere. The City can be explored very easily on foot or by public transport, it is spread out over 6 or 7 main islands. Very laid back with beautiful buildings and lots of water. Prices are generally quite high, but no more so than in London. Well worth a visit.close
