Välkommen till Stockholm!
Stockholm is a city that sprawls over a series of islands and dates back to the viking age. You will be located in
Norrmalm
which is a commercial hub. The island to the west is Kungsholmen
which is a more chill residential area that features the City Hall
and this is where the Nobel banquet is held annually. During the summer months it has live music and parties on the water.
Directly to the south of the hotel is the Old Town (Gamla Stan)
, this is where all the pretty buildings and winding cobbled-stone streets are. It has a high density of tourist attractions such as The Royal Palace
and the Nobel Prize Museum
.
To the south of the Old Town is Södermalm
, this is the vibey part of the city (think Williamsburg/Bushwick or Shoreditch/Hackney), brimming with creative energy, it has a high density of bars and pubs.
The area in the east is known as Östermalm
which is home to the Swedish History Museum
if you want to see viking relics in the flesh, this part of town is where the you can party with Stockholm playboy types or visit high fashion boutiques.
