Stockholm Sweden: Holidays to Remember

Stockholm in Sweden is one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. It is built across 14 islands connected by 50 bridges and is often called the Venice of the North. Referred to as the Capital of Scandinavia it is a lively, cosmopolitan place with modern Scandinavian architecture, waterways, parks and green space. This is a great place to enjoy holidays abroad or short breaks

If you’re looking for something truly special the entire family can enjoy, Stockholm holidays may be the answer. This is a holiday destination that has a lot to offer and a very family friendly atmosphere to offer it. It’s a little different than many of the “beach holidays” you’ve enjoyed in the past and can offer a cultural experience that is somewhat unique.

What are some of the things you’ll not want to miss during your Stockholm breaks?

One that is truly unique among holiday experiences is the Vasa Museum in Stockholm Sweden. This museum is dedicated to a 17th Century ship that sank during its maiden voyage only to be resurrected 3 centuries later. It is now the flagship (so to speak) of the museum and a major record of the maritime history of Sweden. It’s definitely worth a visit.

Planning your Stockholm breaks in winter? Then you’ll enjoy ice skating (for free) in Kungstradgarden Park where you can skate with other visitors and locals alike.

In addition to the many museums and galleries there are also several guided tours of Stokholm that you and your family can enjoy during your stay. Some package holidays will include these tours along with flights to Stockholm Sweden, Stockholm Gatwick taxes and fees, and hotel accommodations during your stay. If you want the best selection for seating on your Stockholm flight it is a good idea to book early.

The crowning jewel for many people when it comes to Stockholm holidays is a walk around Djurgaden Island. This is an island that is located in the middle of the city of Stocholm! Amazing isn’t it? The island is famous for its beauty as well as the events that are held there. It is one of the most popular attractions during Stockholm holidays as it receives millions of visitors each year.

Popular with families, the Grona Lund Amusment Park boasts a Viking Ship ride that is extremely popular. Another popular attraction for families visiting Stockholwm Sweden is the changing of the Royal Guard. This is a forty minute event that is quite budget friendly (in other words, it’s free) and will delight young and old alike.

There are also several festivals held in Stockholm throughout the year that make this a great adventure for some families. Among them are the Sweden Rock Festival, Midsummer, the Sweden Water Festival, and the Stockholm Film Festival. Make your plans today for family Stockholm holidays you’ll remember for many years to come.
