Stockholm is, in my opinion, one of the coolest cities in Europe. Located on Sweden’s east coast, this capital city is famous for its great restaurants, fun nightlife and beautiful people. And like the people, the city ofStockholm is also stunning.
ThisBaltic Sea archipelago boasts 14 islands and more than 50 bridges! With a population of roughly 910,000, Stockholm is the most populous city in the Nordic countries. But the magical architecture of Gamla Stan (old town) with its colorful buildings and cobblestone streets – along with the meandering waterways and beautiful parks – make this city feel small and intimate. Here’s a quick guide to Stockholm to help you make the most of your visit to the coolest city in Europe!

BOQUERIA
Boqueriaoffers good Spanish tapas in a fun, upscale setting. Perfect spot to grab dinner and drinks before a fun night out on the town.
MISTER FRENCH
Mister Frenchis for sure my favorite restaurant in Stockholm! This fab spot is right on the water with a fun party atmosphere, great food, and it turns into a club after dinner!
LYDMAR HOTEL
Lydmar Hotelis the perfect place to grab brunch or dinner in an upscale setting. Their restaurant offers delicious food and co*cktails at their indoor dinning room, outdoor terrace, or on their beautiful patio across from the harbor. Just be sure to book in advance as they get very busy!
BERNS ASIATISKA
I am obsessed with Berns Asiatiska– a gorgeous restaurant hall with crystal chandeliers and mirrors everywhere, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner in an opulent setting! We had a big group dinner here with 12 people. The sharing menu has a great assortment and the staff does a good job at staying on top of requests. After dinner head over to their club to dance the night away! This place goes off till 4AM!

BERNS HOTEL
I love Berns Hotel so much that I stayed here on both of my trips to Stockholm! This boutique hotel dates back to 1863, mixing eclectic modern design with old school luxury, and has welcomed famous guests such a Rihanna, Noomi Rapace, Bill Gates and the Dalai Lama. Centrally located in front of Berzelii Park, close to the train station, waterfront and old town, Berns offers 60 individually decorated rooms and suites, two fantastic restaurants and several trendy bars that stay open into the early mornings hours, creating the perfect atmosphere for travelers looking for a lively hotel stay. I love the location, the fun party vibe, and the friendly staff who are always kind and helpful.
