Stockholm apartments

Stockholm, officially known as Scandinavia's and Sweden's capital, offers an array of holiday apartment choices for those looking to get off the beaten tourist path in exchange for something more authentic. Stockholm has come a long way from the ABBA days, and is a cornucopia of different cultures, owing to the fact that 16 percent of its inhabitants are immigrants.

The city's skyline is considered as one of the most beautiful in the world, and the city is known as a place for edgy fashion, design and culture. Stockholm is surrounded by an archipelago of more than 24,000 rocky islands, and the blue waters that are part of the city are perfectly juxtaposed with the terracotta colored buildings of a time gone by - a family holiday in Stockholm is sure to be a success.

Renting in Sodermalm

The island neighborhood district of Sodermalm is found in central Stockholm, and is known as a laid back, bohemian surrounding thanks to its chic and indie stores, coffee shops and buildings. This is an art and vintage shopping heaven, and promises an evening of sheer, unadulterated fun in its numerous nightclubs and Swedish restaurants.

The Ostermalm district

Ostermalm, on the other hand, is yet another district situated in central Stockholm. It is known as one of the affluent districts in Sweden, and is home to 36,000+ inhabitants. It is also known as the home of glamour in Sweden, showcasing both local and international brands such as Louis Vuitton, Prada and Whyred.

Choosing to stay in Vasastan

Vasastan is a great place to pick out your holiday apartment, perhaps due to the fact that it is a charming and affordable section of Stockholm, and doesn't contain much of the hustle and bustle found in other nearby districts. While here, check out Karlbergs slott, a stunning palace set on the shores of Lake Karlberg. It is a great place to take a stroll and escape the hectic city life for an afternoon during your Stockholm vacation.

Stockholm is a multi-faceted city that never fails to impress, and should feature in your European travel itinerary. The Scandinavian culture that is synonymous with kindness and wholeness awaits you, all through Stockholm and the surrounding districts found within it.
