Join our editors on a tour of their greatest finds - from secret swimming spots to delicious cocktails and fancy shops - in the hugely admirable Swedish capital.

Stockholm has a world-leading design scene, palaces and an enviable marina in the waters of an idyllic archipelago. But it's more than just the look that adorns the place (even if a dedicated Beauty Council oversees the architectural development). There are also plenty of new restaurants to spice up the once-one-dimensional food scene - one that now quickly surpasses the old New Nordic movement with its fresh approach to informality and charm.
We avoid gloomy, predictable tourist fodder and overrated premieres in favor of proven, independent and captivating.
