A short break to snowy Stockholm, Sweden

You see, just because I had an idea of where I wanted to visit this year, didn’t mean they were set in stone. Not only is travelling part of the excitement, so to (for me anyway) is planning, doing something spontaneous and then changing course. See where things take you – that’s what I love about travelling on my own. Your thoughts may take you anywhere. For me, this time it was Sweden!

I’d actually been to Sweden in 2018, visiting Malmö on a day trip while I was in Copenhagen. Visiting Stockholm was already on my wider list, I just hadn’t planned to go just yet. Stockholm came up (and was a seriously good bargain on the flight) and I thought why wait?

After I’d made my mind up to visit Stockholm, I wasn’t at all surprised to find many places were already booked up and expensive. I knew I wanted to stay close to the main station in Stockholm – especially as my flight was getting in quite late. And I wanted to be in the Norrmalm area for a few reasons. The location would give me easy access to parts of the city as well as the islands; Gamla Stan and Sodermälm.
