What Does Stockholm Have To Offer?

Stockholm is built across 14 islands and is often called the Venice of the North. With more foreign visitors than any other city in Scandinavia it is also considered to be the Capital of Scandinavia.

When you visit Stockholm the first thing you notice is how clean it is. The water in Stockholm is so clean that you can drink it. You can even fish for Salmon in the middle of the city. How many cities in the world can you say that about?

How about the food? There are some great restaurants in Stockholm In recent years, Stockholm's restaurant life has blossomed. There are lots of new, fashionable restaurants with enticing menus. The quality of the food can rival any major city like London or Paris.

Its it expensive? Yes it is. There is no hiding the fact that Stockholm is an expensive city, especially for tourists. If you want to try and save a little money, try to get off the beaten track a little, try to find the restaurants where the locals eat. It will be a easier on your pocket.

The public transport is expensive but good. But at least the tickets are transferable between the bus and subway systems for one hour from the time of purchase, so that's good.

All in all I would say that Stockholm is a beautiful clean city and well worth a visit.
