The two things that struck me on my Stockholm city weekend was life on the water and the ubiquitous greenery. The combination made it feel fresh to be outside, and we were blessed with good weather to savour it. The picture above was our view while having a beer on the evening we arrived.
Stockholm sits on 14 islands, and water is everywhere. As I mentioned, the weather was good and we walked around a lot. Every so often, we would have a rest at one of the many bars and enjoy the calm of our surroundings. It’s not often you hear the words “tranquil” and “city” together.
It made me wish that we made more of London’s river and riverbank life. It’s not non-existent, but it could use a healthy helping of green.

I was in Stockholm a few years back on sunny days – with all the green and blue around, it ended up being my favourite Nordic city (yet).
I can see why you think that. Although it’s a toss-up with Copenhagen for me. I’ll just have to go back to both!
Ah, this brought back some nice memories of our visit to Stockholm…a very nice city. (Suzanne)
I really loved it. I want to go back and see more of Sweden.
How lovely! I had no idea about the islands. So glad you enjoyed your time there 😀 Did you get your meatballs to go with that beer? 😉
Ooh, you’ve anticipated my next blog post. Yes, I had meatballs !!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😃
Haven’t been but it looks like picture postcard material.
Yes, it is absolutely picture postcard stuff. And the quality of the light was really lovely.
