Visit Stockholm – Top 5
With the Swedish krone so weak against the pound at the moment, now is the perfect time for a cheeky weekend in Stockholm. And while you’re there, here’s our rundown of the top 5 luxurious must-sees the city has to offer while you’re there.
Pub
Two years ago this old fashion department store started a huge refurbishment. The result? Probably one of the coolest department stores in the world, and something definitely not to be missed during a trip to Stockholm. Among the highlights is the “+46” shop on the third floor: 350sqm filled with the latest in Swedish fashion.

Grill
This restaurant is probably one of the coolest in Stockholm. Decorated like an enormous living room and with wonderful staff, it is the place for a cozy yet fun night out. In 2008 the whole place burnt down only to rise phoenix-like soon after – and it’s now cooler than ever.
