Stockholm is known as Venice of the north. This means there are plenty of spots for a nice swim. Here are some favorites!

Top 3 easiest ways to get around in Stockholm

Stockholm is a great city for public transportation! Also, did you know that if you are 18 or above and have a valid SL-ticket you can bring up to 6 kids at the age of 11 and below free of charge? Children between 12 and 18 travel at a reduced price.

Stockholm is a very walk friendly city and the easiest way to get around the city center, Djurgården, Södermalm and Östermalm is by foot.

If the kids are used to riding bikes a great way to explore Stockholm is by bike. There are a lot of bike lanes and bike parkings where you can lock your bikes.
