Stockholm: a city of beautiful architecture, clean tap water, trend-sensitive Stockholmare, and mesmerising views of the Archipelago. The stomping ground of Ingmar Bergman, Astrid Lindgren, Ingrid Bergman, and Greta Garbo.
Also the city I called home during the formative years of 14 to 21. Since emigrating to London, whenever I now visit Stockholm, I do so with the nostalgia of an ex-resident, lying somewhere in between the expertise of the local and the wide eyes of the tourist. If asked what a visitor should spend a weekend in Stockholm doing, these would be the recommendations I’d share with close friends.
