36 Hours in Stockholm

Glittering waterways, blooming parks and night life aplenty await summer visitors to the Swedish capital.

'Every summer, Stockholmers depart their city en masse, decamping to country cottages as if compelled by instinct, just as their city is approaching its peak. Don’t follow them. Instead take these long days bathed in Nordic light to explore the Swedish capital’s pristine nature — glittering waterways, blooming parks — between stops at excellent new bars, bakeries and restaurants (confirm opening times as many spots close for summer holidays and reopen in early August). Even the streets are more appealing this time of year, since a new initiative has transformed several blocks into lively summertime pedestrian zones. And with trendsetting shops, cultural gems and night life aplenty, Stockholm seems to ask: Why would you want to be anywhere else?'>>>
