Why visit Stockholm?
Looking for a city break with a culture fix? Look no further than Stockholm! With over 100 museums to choose from, you will have no trouble finding one you love.
From the picturesque old town to Storgorget, the city’s oldest square, Stockholm is one of the prettiest cities in Europe. It’s made up of 14 islands and a boat trip is one of the best ways to experience them, so why not take a sightseeing tour to admire the islands’ untouched nature and learn more about the intriguing history of the city?
Why not add a boat trip to your ‘things to do in Stockholm’ list in the Pogo travel app?
My My! When you think of Stockholm, surely an image of the chart-topping Swedish super group springs to mind?!
From the band’s show-stopping outfits and gold records to interactive exhibitions where you can sing along to your favourite ABBA tunes and undertaking quizzes to see how much of a super fan you really are, if the answer is ‘I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do’, when it comes to enjoying a day out at the ABBA museum in Stockholm, then make sure you add it to your Stockholm Pinboard under ‘See & Do’.
Where to stay in Stockholm
Art lovers should consider a stay at the elegant and luxurious At Six hotel in Stockholm. It’s just a 7 minute walk from the Royal Palace and under a mile away from the Museum of Modern Art. It's also in close proximity to great restaurants and shopping – making it a perfect hotel for a stylish Swedish break

TOP TRAVEL TIPS
Here are our top three travel tips when visiting Stockholm
Fall in love with Fika - We are sure you don’t need any persuading, but Fika is a thing in Sweden! Bringing together two age-old favourites - coffee and cake, Fika is an unmissable ritual which can be found throughout the best cafes in the city. From the traditional fika such as a cinnamon bun to more innovative alternatives, be sure to add a few dining options to the ‘Eat & Drink’ section of your Stockholm Pinboard.
Consider island hopping - Order yourself an SL card in advance (SL being the Stockholm transport system) which will allow you to travel pretty much on any mode of transport, including some of the ferries that run between the islands of the city.
Get your culture fix for free! - On a budget? You can still take advantage of the city’s culture by planning your time wisely whilst in the Swedish capital. Certain museums will give you free admission at certain times, so be sure to upgrade your Pogo app subscription to Pogo Plus, where you can use Pogo Magic which will generate your very own tailored trip itinerary to make sure you can plot in those all-important freebies.
This includes free entry to the Nordic Museum on Wednesdays between 5-8pm, and the Nobel Prize Museum from 5-8pm on Tuesdays. With Pogo Magic, your dream Stockholm trip itinerary just got easier!
