Stockholm

Stockholm is home to AIK Fotboll and the Friends Arena, a topflight football club who play in the UEFA, as well as the Svenska Cupen and Allsvenskan. Hammarby IF, based in the Tele2 Arena, is also a Svenska Cupen football team.

As ice hockey is considered a major sport in Sweden, Stockholm has a number of professional teams including Djurgården IF, who play in the Swedish Hockey League.

Stockholm is a charming capital city famously formed by 14 hilly islands stacked with quintessential Neoclassical and Art Deco buildings painted in soft hues, which sprawl out into the Baltic Sea. Although it can be hard to get your bearings in Stockholm, the city is connected by a web of cute footbridges which take you from one distinctively stunning island to the next. While Gamla Stan, the historic old town, offers rustic vibes with cobbled streets and impressive landmarks, Södermalm is all about cool Scandi style and design. There’s even an island basically dedicated to museums, including the legendary Vasa Museum and Abba Museum. Of course, the scenery around Stockholm is what truly completes it, and a boat ride around its impressive archipelago is a must-do.
