Stockholm

Fourteen islands, one royal capital

Best time to visit

May to September for archipelago cruises and long evenings.

Getting there

Overnight Baltic cruise from Helsinki, or a 50-minute flight.

Where you stay

Waterfront hotels in Norrmalm, or boutique stays in Gamla Stan and Södermalm.
