City break
The cities of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö offer very different flavours of one nation. You have the ‘cool’ of Stockholm, the maritime atmosphere of Gothenburg, Sweden’s second largest city and the multi-cultural aspect of Malmö.

What Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö share is an abundance of parks, museums, interesting sites to visit and vibrant cultures. Just about anything you would want to do or see in any one of the three is within walking distance.
Although smaller in size than Stockholm, both Gothenburg and Malmö offer a wealth of shopping, restaurants and theatres. Malmö is a city of 164 nations and 100 languages. This is deliciously reflected in the myriad of restaurants and cafes here.
The west coast city of Gothenburg meanwhile, offers maritime sights and sounds, along with Michelin Star rated restaurants and Sweden’s largest amusement park at Liseberg.
Sweden’s capital city, Stockholm. is built on 14 islands that are crisscrossed by bridges. One of them takes you to über trendy Södermalm island, with its live music scene, cool clubs and trendy inhabitants. Medieval and modern architecture vie for your attention, as do the seasons; of short, crisp winter days and long summer nights, where the sun barely goes down. Stockholm, in every sense of the word is world-class.
Although the locals probably would not want to admit it, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö have a few things in common. They share an abundance of historical sites and parklands, as well as excellent communications and amenities, making these beautiful cities easy to get around and even easier to enjoy.
