Ultimate 3-Day Stockholm Itinerary: Top Things to Do & See, Stockholm, Sweden
This 3-day Stockholm itinerary offers the perfect mix of history, culture and beautiful scenery, ensuring you make the most of your time in Sweden's capital city.
No trip to Sweden would be complete without a few days spent exploring its impressive capital city of Stockholm. My grandparents were Swedish, and I have always been curious about my Swedish heritage. So it was with great excitement that I started planning our trip to Sweden, starting with this comprehensive 3-day Stockholm itinerary to cover the top sights.
Hotel Kungstradgarden was our choice of accommodation. It is centrally located in the Norrmalm district, next to the Kungsträdgården (King’s Garden) park it is named after. It is also just a short walk away from Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town.
This hotel has a stunning Atrium foyer with bar and restaurant, which made up for the small size of our room. The room had just enough space to walk around the bed…. add a suitcase or two into the mix and it was a little cramped. Of course, some of the pricier rooms have more space, but space wasn’t really a priority for us.
Having said that, we didn’t spend much time in our room, especially when the atrium of the hotel was so inviting! We found it the perfect place to enjoy an evening beverage after a busy day of sightseeing, with lots of cozy corners and quiet spaces to choose from, spread over 3 floors. Breakfast was also served here. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
