A city built on islands, with candlelit Christmas markets, Lucia processions and a museum about Pippi Longstocking. Here's what Stockholm is like with the family, when to go and how long to stay.
The EU is bringing in new entry checks, so check the rules on GOV.UK before you book.
Late November to Christmas brings markets and lights, with Lucia celebrations on 13 December. May to August is warm with very long days, perfect for island-hopping. January and February are cold, dark and quiet.
Red huts in Stortorget, the old town's main square, sell glögg, gingerbread and smoked reindeer.
An open-air museum with Nordic animals and a traditional Christmas market on Advent weekends.
A storybook museum about Astrid Lindgren's books, with a little train ride through the stories.
A huge 17th-century warship that sank on her first voyage and was raised almost whole.
On 13 December, choirs in white robes with candles in their hair sing in churches and halls all over the city.
Ferries weave between thousands of islands. Best from May to September.
Yes. It's safe and easy to get around, and the museums are among Europe's best for children.
Gamla Stan's market usually runs from late November to 23 December. Skansen's opens on Advent weekends.
Fairly, especially eating out. Museums like Junibacken and the Vasa are worth the money, and a travel card saves on transport.
It's light for only about six hours, so plan outdoor things for the middle of the day.
Put Stockholm on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
