After learning that the Swedish have their own word for a coffee and cake break, we recommend that ‘Fika’ is taken as much as possible over the duration of your stay in Stockholm.<\/p>\n
The standard of food and service in the city was faultless, however be prepared to pay considerably more for dinner and drinks in general.<\/p>\n
– In the Norrmalm\/Ostermalm district we dined at Speceriet<\/strong>, a cosy and relaxed restaurant with a small but thoughtful menu, located next to sister restaurant Gastrologik. Head to Niklas<\/strong> for a friendly barman and chilled out drinks afterwards<\/p>\n– We also stumbled across\u00a0K25 Food Hall<\/strong> \u2013 extremely busy on a Friday night, but a great variety of different cuisines under one roof, keep your eyes peeled for somewhere to sit<\/p>\nF O R \u00a0 A R T<\/p>\n
– Walk across to the Moderna Museet<\/strong> on Skeppsholmen island some to see to big name artists, such as Matisse, Picasso and Warhol. We’d also recommend the buffet-style restaurant here for lunch and some great views. Take a pit-stop at the espresso bar for some fika between exhibitions<\/p>\nF O R \u00a0 H I S T O R Y<\/p>\n
– The Vasa Museum \u2013<\/strong> a salvaged 16th century warship that sank just outside of Stockholm on her maiden voyage, found and restored in the 60’s<\/p>\n– The Gamla Stan<\/strong> ‘old town’ is another island not to be missed for its picturesque cobbled streets and a selfie opportunity, here you can go into tourist mode and visit the Royal Palace and the Nobel Museum<\/p>\n– Wanting to see a view of the city from the water, we took a boat ride around the islands and quay, sitting on reindeer hides and eating pea soup – fun in winter, but this would no doubt be even more glorious in the summer months<\/p>\n
