Topic: Stockholm for a weekend.

[La Vecchia Magpie]

Been wanting to do this for a while, and have just started full time work so hopefully I'll have a bit money to do it. I'm wanting to go after New Years but the only experience I've got with booking holidays is your average lads package holiday to Magaluf/Ibiza etc. So can any of the lovely Swedish RAWKites or those who've done similar things help me out a little with this. Who's best to book it with? Is it better to book a weekend package away or just do it at your own leisure? How many layers of clothes will I need in January ? Like I say I've never done anything remotely like this so I want to do it right.

First one to say "Google.com" gets a cookie, too.

Sort it yourself..

Don't know where your're flying from but www.norwegian.com - has direct : manchester-stockholm arlanda (main airport) friday/monday for 80-90 pounds return now in january..

accomodation starts at 30-40 pounds a night (hostels etc) and. When you appropach 70-80 pounds a night for a double room, its becoming more than decent..

january/february can get pretty chilly and pick a weekend where Hammarby Bandy plays at home..

Bring shed loads of cash. Was there in early July for 5 days with some friends. Great city, with amazing roof top bars around Stadsgarden.

Things worth doing/seeing/experiencing

Food - Pickled herring in a myriad of sauces. The Pelikan Restaurant isn't too bad.
Markets - Östermalm Food Hall for the best produce available
Beer - Local brews are superb, some of my favourites included  All Hale to Nothing & Pickla Pils
Architecture - Virtually every building is pretty awesome
Museum - Historiska or the Mordena Museet.
Live Music - Debaser

Worked have paid for me to go to Stockholm/Sweden and I still shit it when I see the cost of stuff but I really liked Sweden and the Swedish so enjoy.
