Stockholm: From Scenic Beauty to Culinary Delights

Stockholm, Sweden, boasts scenic beauty with its spread across 14 islands, interconnected by waterways and bridges, amongst bustling streets and colorful architecture. Notably, the city has one of the highest rates of bicycle riders and extensive bike paths for transportation. 

Old Stockholm, also known as Gamla Stan stands out as one of the city's most iconic and historic picturesque areas, characterized by narrow cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, souvenir shops and coffee houses selling "kanelbulle" celebrated for its unique twist.

Our culinary exploration in Stockholm introduced us to a variety of Swedish flavors, including pickled herring, Swedish meatballs, and reindeer burgers, accompanied by an array of hard breads, cheeses, and crisp wafer crackers. However, indulging in these delights came at a premium, as Sweden's cost of living, surpassed that of many other cities we've visited. Despite the expense, our immersion in Stockholm's culture and cuisine left an enduring impression and a desire to explore more of the city's offerings.

Our visit to Stockholm left an enduring impression, making it a beautiful city to remember and cherished memories for years to come.
