More fool me, but Stockholm had never made it onto my holiday hitlist – let alone my summer one. When a 24-hour work trip stretched into a long weekend exploring the city and its surrounding archipelago, I came home convinced it’s one of Europe's most underrated summer destinations.
I’m clearly not alone in falling for Stockholm's seasonal charm. As Southern Europe swelters through increasingly punishing summers, travellers are looking north. For those seeking cooler climes, Scandi tourism is having a moment.
