Sweden

Stockholm archipelago summers and Lapland snow

Couples·Design·Families
The brief

Sweden, the long way — Stockholm archipelago summers and a Lapland snow week.

Stockholm is the most liveable Nordic capital — design hotels (Ett Hem), an archipelago of thirty thousand islands, and a food scene that has quietly become world-class. North, the Treehotel and Icehotel handle the bucket-list snow weeks.

Pair with Norway or Finland for a full Scandinavian fortnight.
