Stockholm

Sweden brought Ikea and H&M to the world, and the country’s capital is packed with equally innovative shops, glass-walled art galleries, and stylish boutiques. But it’s the quiet beauty that gives Stockholm an edge over its Scandinavian neighbors. Water surrounds you at every turn, and traffic-clogged streets are practically nonexistent. Instead, canals and pedestrian bridges connect the 14 islands that make up the city. Each isle is distinct in character and mood: there’s shopping in posh Östermalm; narrow, historic streets in medieval Gamla Stan; and a thriving bohemian culture in Södermalm.
