Stockholm is one of the most amazing places in the world to visit. The warmth of its people enhances the magic of the architecture and nature within the city. Like with any location, the time of year you decide to visit can change the entire feel of a trip.
Despite what people may think, any season is a great time to visit Stockholm as each one offers something different.
Spring
One of the activities to enjoy in the spring is the annual Tap Dance Festival. Festivals like these get you out of your comfort zone and get you to enjoy activities that you never knew were so much fun.
You’ll never know. You may go home and decide to pick up tap dancing! Stockholm is also full of magnificent cherry trees that blossom in the spring. A walk through one of Stockholm's amazing parks to see the cherry blossoms is never a bad idea.
Summer
Summertime in Stockholm is a beautiful time. The islands of the archipelago can be the perfect places for a Swedish lunch by the sea. There is also the Midsummer Festival for travelers to participate in, where they can get in on the maypole dancing, the singing, and the overall merrymaking. Another great place to visit in the summer is the open-air museum of Skansen at Djurgarden.
Autumn
Fall colors seem more magical as they highlight the city of Stockholm's natural aura. The colors throughout the city make the cafes a little cozier, and gatherings seem more intimate. While strolling to the next museum or the park down the street, a great cup of coffee makes you feel like you could be smack in the middle of a romance novel.
Winter
Despite what you may be thinking, Christmas is a great time to visit Stockholm. Let's face it, Christmas time is a great time to do anything.
Winter in Stockholm is a time to enjoy the food, drink, and people. This is when you should look for those places that are less mainstream and get in touch with some of the locals for some great saffron buns, the Swedish soft drink Julmust, and some Sankta Lucia songs.
No matter when you decide to go to Stockholm, you will not be disappointed. Stockholm is a fantastic city whose history goes back to the 13th century. This long history has laid the foundation for a modern city with a country feel.
