3-Day Scandinavian Stockholm Escape

– History, Islands & Nordic Lifestyle by the Water

Welcome to a Scandinavian Stockholm Escape– in a city built on fourteen islands, where medieval alleyways meet sleek Scandinavian design, and where every view is touched by light and water. From royal palaces and world-class museums to vibrant cafés and peaceful archipelago shores, Stockholm offers a seamless blend of culture, nature, and contemporary Nordic living.

With us, you’re not just visiting Sweden’s capital – you’re discovering it through the eyes of locals who know its hidden gems and stories. Wander through the cobblestone streets of Gamla Stan, glide along the city’s waterways by boat, or dive into the creative pulse of Södermalm and Östermalm.
