The location of the Lydmar Hotel is pretty much unbeatable, so if you want to explore Stockholm by foot, you'd be well served to book a room here. Funky furniture, quirky design elements and charming staff make this place an evergreen fave.

Housed in a grand, art-nouveau building, Hotel Diplomat is undeniably Swedish and undeniably charming. This quiet hotel has well-appointed rooms and the most comfortable beds.

Situated on Skeppsholmen island, the Moderna Museet houses a prominent collection of art from the twentieth century to today (including Picasso, Dali, Derkert & Matisse). This stunning museum, designed by Spanish architect Rafael Moneo, also has a fab museum shop. 

Stora bageriet is a beautifully designed coffee spot with a large, lovely terrace. It's perfect for enjoying a good cup of coffee before exploring the city. The chai latte is a must!
