So green and walkable, trams are charming and timely. Would come back in late spring for better weather and blooms.
City feels relaxed, friendly locals, but expect high prices at tourist spots. Two full days felt enough for main sights.
Skip the restaurants by Kungsportsplatsen, walk two blocks toward Haga for cheaper traditional lunch and better cinnamon buns.
Underwhelmed by the hype, rainy weekend and lots of construction noise. Still enjoyed fika stops and parks.
If you're on a budget, grab groceries at Lidl or Hemköp and picnic in one of the big parks, much cheaper than eating by the harbor.
