Stockholm is spread across 14 islands, which makes it one of the more visually striking capitals in Europe — old town charm, modern design, and water at every turn.
Suggested Route (5–6 Days)
- Days 1–3 — Stockholm: Gamla Stan’s old town, the Vasa Museum, and Djurgården’s parks and museums.
- Day 4 — Archipelago day trip: A ferry out to the islands for a different pace entirely.
- Days 5–6 — Uppsala (optional): A historic university town, an easy train ride from the capital.
Visa & Entry Notes
Sweden is part of the Schengen Area — a single visa covers Sweden alongside Denmark or Norway if you’re combining a Scandinavian trip.
Best Time to Visit
June–August for the long daylight hours and mild weather; winters are atmospheric but short on daylight.
