Sweden's capital city isn't just growing size-wise - Stockholm also offers an ever-increasing choice of new restaurants, cafés and other great places to visit. All parts of town have their own particular charm and the central area is small enough to allow you to walk between destinations. Grab the chance to hop on a ferry, if you can, and experience Stockholm from the water. The choice of things to do is huge so if you've got a limited amount of time it can be hard to know where to start, and what not to miss. We've tailormade a special guide for anyone who just has a day, or 24 hours, to spend in Stockholm.
