The Region

City and islands in one stay

Stockholm is the most polished of the Nordic capitals — Gamla Stan’s medieval core, the Vasa and Fotografiska museums, and a design and dining culture that rewards more than a single night.

What makes it work for us is the archipelago. Thirty thousand islands begin at the city’s eastern edge, reachable by private boat in under an hour, which lets a short stay cover both the city and real island quiet without an internal flight.
