The most beautiful city
The most beautiful city I've known so far. Everything seemed like a fairy tale, the colorful houses, the river, the boats... impressive.
Sandor, . Stockholm (Stockholm)
Expensive but worth it
Expensive city in an expensive country. Really nice inner city and very spectacular buildings from the early ages, like the prison on Langholm (hotel, hostel), The royal castle, Gamla Stan, etc. Worth to be there for a weekend or even a bit more, no doubt.

View from the City Hall tower
View from the City Hall tower. The city of Stockholm is a marvel, everything is very well maintained and clean, the only thing is it's cold almost any time of the year, so try to choose the destination towards summer and always be prepared for any weather mishap. People are very nice and the food is great, despite the high prices, which is normal in Europe. We were there on April 20th and it's the night of museums, everything is free from 6 PM to midnight, although with long queues, but it's worth it. We saved more than 80 euros per head in tickets. For airport transport, there is a combination of a bus and the metro that costs about 3.6 euros per trip and is included in the day ticket or 72 hours or a week, and not the fortune the Arlanda express charges, taking 45 minutes instead of 18.

Beautiful city, a must-see
Beautiful city. A must-see :) The food is good, but for now, I stick with the Spanish cuisine. The meatballs are good in their different varieties, the salmon we tried was spectacular, and the chocolate balls were spectacular. Recommended to take a boat ride to appreciate the magnitude of Stockholm and its beautiful landscapes.

Beautiful city
It is a beautiful, clean, and orderly city. I loved its architecture and its people. A beautiful city, although very expensive for us. There's a lot to see and visit. I was there for 3 days and it wasn't enough, so I'll be back. The only thing I can complain about is its weather.
Anton, . Stockholm (Stockholm)
Beautiful city to visit, especially during May September. Perfect combination of nature (lakes, hills, canals) and architecture (churches, museums, amusement parks).
