In a city that prides itself on being roughly one-third parkland, one-third water, and one-third city streets, it would be a shame not to experience a bit of each. Medieval ruins and verdant parks share space with museums, important cultural institutions, and world-class eateries. Stockholm is one of the most museum-dense cities in the world—there are over 100 museums in the city alone. On Djurgården, the greenest of the city center’s islands, you can enjoy the amazing Skansen and Vasa museums, then walk for miles through rolling parkland. If time allows, set aside a day to explore the glorious archipelago.
