Cheap Flights to Stockholm

Stockholm spreads across 14 islands connected by 57 bridges, creating one of the world's most beautiful capital cities where Lake Malaren meets the Baltic Sea. Gamla Stan's medieval streets, the Vasa Museum's perfectly preserved 17th-century warship raised after 333 years, and Nordic design that permeates from furniture stores to subway stations define the Swedish capital. The archipelago with 30,000 islands begins at the city harbor while Djurgarden island provides a green museum oasis. Stockholm's food scene ranges from Swedish meatballs to New Nordic cuisine at Michelin-starred Frantzén.

June through August offers 18+ hours of daylight and 20-25 degrees C for archipelago island-hopping to Vaxholm and Sandhamn. December through February brings 6 hours of daylight but Christmas markets at Gamla Stan and Northern Lights possible outside the city. Spring (April-May) transforms the city with cherry blossoms in Kungstradgarden. Autumn (September-October) provides crisp air and fall colors. July is the warmest month but many Stockholmers take summer holiday.
