If you’re after a holiday that is nothing but pure chilled vibes and amazing landscapes, culture, and food, look no further than Stockholm, the mellow capital of Sweden. This Swedish city has some great restaurants, bars and a whole lot of sightseeing (hello, ABBA Museum), plus the city and surrounding areas are home to some incredible natural landscapes – best seen by boat. A trip away, however, needs a peaceful and cool place to stay and rest, and Airbnb has an array of incredible places. From swanky city apartments to quirky eco-friendly spots for groups. We’ve picked a selection of the best to help you with your planning.
What is the best area to stay in Stockholm?
‘The best’ is a hard thing to choose: rather, each of Stockholm’s neighbourhoods will give you something quite different. For your first time in the city, we’d probably recommend Gamla Stan at the top, which will give you a good tourist look at the city without being unbearable (think charming cafés, historic buildings and a good amount of old-school vibes). If you’re museum-obsessed, try Djurgården. Cool kids go to Södermalm, particularly Hornstull. Here’s our full neighbourhood guide for more.
