STOCKHOLM IN…
TWO DAYS
Beat the crowds to the labyrinthine streets of
Gamla Stan
, the city's historic old town.
Watch St George wrestle the dragon inside
Storkyrkan
, the old-town cathedral, and join a
tour of the royal palace,
Kungliga Slottet
. Then trek to
Södermalm
for dizzying views

A WEEK
A week gives you time to visit the royal palace of
Drottningholm
,
then take a boat to an is-
land on the
archipelago
for a quiet, pastoral overnight stay.
Djurgården
This parklike island is a museum-goer's dream. Not only are many of Stockholm's top mu-
seums gathered here but the setting is sublime: gardens, greenery, a lazy river, cycle paths,
picnic places, and all of it just one footbridge away from the centre of town.
