Summer in Stockholm?  It's the Best Idea If You Got Attitude!

Before summer turns its heat on full blast, plan your summer getaway in Stockholm, Sweden, and get the best deal with your flights to Stockholm.  Although the sun seems never to set, it's still the coolest place to beat.

Summer Attitude

Summer is short in Stockholm and every moment of the season is squeezed into fun activities.  Before summer is heralded by longer days, locals gear up for the promise of summer - sandals and tees - and storm the hot spots.  This is not surprising; after a long winter spell and long nights, summer is welcomed with a bang.  You are talking about 1.8 million city dwellers that have put on their summer attitude.  As a tourist, get into the groove and enjoy the summer as the locals do.

So where do the locals spend their time?  Most of the people sail to nearby islands - and there are 14 islands that ring the island archipelago.  If you see many bridges, then that explains why there are a lot of ways to spend a summer in Stockholm and it is inexpensive getting around the city.  Get a Stockholm Card and get around on the train and ferries.           

Get yourself to Old Town and take a horse drawn carriage to take you on its narrow streets.  If you have more time, walk the old streets and view the old buildings built way back in 1700 and 1800.  Since there are several restaurants, tourist shops, museums and art studios in Old Town, boredom won't catch up with you.  Instead, you'll find yourself falling in love with the place.

If romance rules your heart, don't let it down.  On a lazy afternoon, take your partner to the southern waterfront at the Gamla Stan and watch the changing magical colors of the sunset on the Old Palace.  Later, share a generous bowl of cafe au lait in one of Chokladkoppen cafes.  It's a cool way to cool off in Stockholm.  The number of coffee shops in the city clues you into the coffee habits of the locals who gamely quip that coffee breaks is a religion.

Parks come alive during summer.  At Skansen Park, visit the 16^th century homes and imagine yourself living in that period.  Every nook and cranny of these homes is authentic.  The park, which is actually an open air museum, houses a slew of farm buildings, houses and other historical structures coming from the different parts of Sweden.  The displays blend naturally in carefully landscaped grounds that everything seems so natural and it includes an old cemetery. 

Do you want to be fascinated with a different rustic setting?  Let your imagination run free in The Archipelago which is an extension of Stockholm.  The place is a perfect romantic setting for a summer holiday.  Go boating around the Orno Island.  The Archipelago is Stockholm's best kept summer open secret.  It is a perfect summer hideaway where sea, sand, sun and the lush green foliage create a magical world.  If you got attitude, then Stockholm has lots to offer for you this summer.

Stockholm is the setting of several world class hotels, budget hostels, and apartments.  Book your hotels Stockholm online ahead of the crowd.
