Stockholm (Sweden) Reviews

While my sister and I were studying at university, my parents had the opportunity to move to Stockholm with dad's job. They were able to negotiate a package which included a wonderful apartment in the city centre and return flights for themselves and family so that we could still see each other regularly. I was lucky enough to visit ...  Read the complete review

Stockholm is a city I have previously visited several times on business and of which I've even enjoyed a little of the night-life. Stockholm is a very enjoyable place although, in general I find it's architecture somewhat "solid". It is also a very big city, spread, as it is, over hundreds of islands, many with only ferry ...  Read the complete review

I stayed in the city of Stockholm for one night in a hostel in the old town. The architecture was beautiful; everywhere you went there were beautifully coloured buildings in different styles. I was surprised at how walkable everything was- I was about fifteen minutes from the main street and the metro station where the heart of the city ...  Read the complete review

(Adapted from my travel blog post: http://thereisanotherworld.wordpress.com/2006/07/09/stockholm/) Stockholm is made up of many islands. As a result, it's visually very stimulating and naturally picturesque. For me, the old town (Gamla Stan) is a highlight. Here you'll find a whole network of wonderful little - often ...  Read the complete review

I visited Stockholm in June 2006. I was in the city to run in the Stockholm International marathon (which is the prettiest marathon to run in my opinion - more of that later). Stockholm is the capital of sweden with a population of 800,000. It is a city built on lots of islands which gives each part a distinctive boundary ...  Read the complete review

I have visited Stockholm on a few occasions now. My husband lived there for a number of years and he loves the city. When we first met, he consistently told me about the city and it didn't take long before he took me there. I have to stress, however, that my views on this beautiful city are spring & summer time ones as any ...  Read the complete review

I recently went to Stockholm to visit a friend of mine I met over here in sunny England, for some strange reason I decided to do this in the middle of their very cold and snowy winter. I decided to get their with ryanair (low cost airline) which was good value for a flight at around £50 rather than the alternative £120+ that BA ...  Read the complete review

We visited Stockholm in the summer of 2003 - you'll remember it as a very hot one and we visited Stockholm in the hottest week. It was our first family trip abroad and we went with the benefit of a brother and sister-in-law who have lived there for a few years. Stockholm and Sweden in general are everything you expect them to ...  Read the complete review

GOVERNMENT WARNING: Excessive smugness is bad for your health, and this is going to be an excessively smug review. Significant Other and I recently spent a brilliant 3 days exploring Stockholm and its amazing museums, restaurants, history and scenery, and I am just dying to tell Dooyoo how amazing it all was. If at any time you feel ...  Read the complete review

STOCKHOLM! What a brilliant city! My gorgeous girlfriend Bob and I were in Stockholm last weekend, in case you hadn’t heard, and we both agree that it is fantastic, brilliant, excellent, superb. We flew on Ryanair, an Irish lowcost airline (these things are all one word now), which was plain sailing, although the pilot did ...  Read the complete review

I lived in Stockholm for over a year. During that I time I grew to love the city, the people, the language, the culture and the history. The Swedes are a friendly bunch, and just dying to practice their excellent English on you! I had to force people to speak Swedish to me so that I could learn. The architecture and ...  Read the complete review

Don't be put off by Sweden's reputation for high prices - provided that you can live without alcohol for a while. Drink is expensive, but other costs in Stockholm are much on a par with London, Paris or Amsterdam these days. We first visited Sweden 10 years ago, and it was horribly expensive - even Macdonalds ...  Read the complete review
