background
Stockholm is the residence of the royal couple, the seat of a university and several colleges. The seat of the Evangelical and Catholic Church of Sweden is located in Stockholm. There are 14 islands in the city, which are connected by 53 bridges. The city center is divided into the districts Gamla Stan, Kungsholmen, Norrmalm, Södermalm and Östermalm.
Stockholm is a real tourist magnet in the summer when many locals leave the city and travel to their holiday homes. Bus groups from various nations populate the city as do backpackers on the way to the North Cape.
It doesn't seem exaggerated to say that Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities in the world: ancient old town houses, countless cafés, ice cream parlors, well-kept parks, the sea, lots of sun, surrounded by thousands of archipelago islands. In addition, the sun hardly sets in summer.
A particularly accurate description of the city provided Kurt Tucholsky in his novella Gripsholm Castle. There he dealt with Stockholm in a nutshell with the words: “Stockholm is beautiful. Cities on the water are always beautiful. "

The af Chapman & Skeppsholmen- The youth hostel is probably unique: some of the beds are on a three-master and you only have a few minutes' walk to the city center. The island is rather calm. But it's worth it book early, because normally this youth hostel is always fully booked. You should book at least six months in advance if you want to stay here.Open: 01.01.09-11.01.09, 14.01.09-31.12.09.Price: adult bed from 185 SEK.
- 2 Backpackers Inn, Banérgatan 56, 11553 Stockholm (District of Östermalm). Tel.: 46 8-6607515, Fax: 46 8-6654039, Email: [email protected]. The cheapest place to stay in Stockholm is the Backpackers Inn. Here you mainly meet young travelers. Sixteen people sleep in the school's classrooms. This is also the reason why this YH is only open in summer (during school holidays).Open: 25.06. - 08/12Check-in: 4 p.m.Check-out: 10.00.Price: bed from 140 SEK.
- 3 STF Stockholm - Långholmen, Kronohäktet, Långholmsmuren 20, 11733 Stockholm (on an island a little west of the center). Tel.: 46 8-720 85 00, Email: [email protected]. Open: 11.01-14.01. closed, open 24 hours.Price: bed from 230 SEK (for members).

- 5 STF Fridhelmsplan, Sankt Eriksgatan 20, 11239 Stockholm (near city center on Kungsholmen Island). Tel.: 46 8-6538800, Fax: 46 8-6538920, Email: [email protected]. Open: open all year round, 24 hours.Price: bed from 225 SEK.
- 6 Formula 1, Mikrophonevägen 30,126 37 Hägersten, Sweden. Tel.: 46 77 144 66 88. The motel is a particularly cheap place to stay Formula 1 at the subway station Telephone plan. An overnight stay in a double room with a possible extra bed currently costs 320 crowns (around 35 euros). But you have to accept the unfavorable location directly on the motorway and a drive to the city center of about 30 minutes.
medium
- 8 Mälardrottningen Hotel, Riddarholmen, 111 28 Stockholm. The famous yacht of the 1920s millionaire Barbara Hutton has moored in the harbor in Stockholm's old town - and now serves as a hotel. The view over Stockholm's waterways is spectacular and all the sights of the old town and the main downtown shopping area are within easy walking distance. Easy parking. Most of the cabins are single rooms with an extra bunk bed.
- 9 Lord Nelson Hotel, Västerlånggatan 22, 111 29 Stockholm. The Lord Nelson is only five meters wide - that should be the Swedish hotel record. However, to deduce the quality from the dimensions would be completely wrong. On the contrary, the standard is actually quite high, and the 31 rooms (22 of which are single rooms) are small, but extremely cozy. This is mainly due to its maritime flair. In general, a lot in the pretty Art Nouveau building is reminiscent of a ship, even the floors are called "deck" here. However, guests - many business travelers - never have to worry about getting seasick. And when you look out of the window - or from the roof terrace, you don't look at the surging sea, but at the liveliest alley in Stockholm's old town.
- 10 Best Western Hotel Terminus, Vasagatan 20, 101 25 Stockholm. The terminus opposite the main train station and the City Air Terminal is run by the owner's family. The old town, restaurants, shopping, entertainment and government districts are all within a short distance. The subway station is under the building. Nothing can be heard from the subway and the area around the main station cannot be compared with that of other capitals and large cities! If you value well-kept and central accommodation at a moderate price, this is the right place for you.
Upscale
- 11 Grand Hotel Stockholm, Södra Blasieholmshamnen 8, 103 27 Stockholm. Tel.: 46 8 679 35 00. The hotel has been around since 1874.Characteristic: ★★★★★.Price: from 315 €.
- 12 Browallshof, Surbrunnsgatan 20. Tel.: (0)8165136. This hotel has existed as an old guest house since 1731. King Gustav III's guests were already guests. and his friend Carl Michael Bellman. The house offers a restaurant with very good Swedish cuisine and a small hotel with 10 rooms in Gustavian style.Characteristic: ★★★★.
- 13 Radisson Blu Royal Park Hotel, Stockholm, Solna, Frösundaviks Allé 15, 169 03 Solna. Tel.: 46 8 624 55 00, Fax: 46 8 85 85 66, Email: [email protected]. The hotel is located in very beautiful surroundings north of the city center in the Royal Haga Park. The breakfast room has a beautiful view of a lake. The airport bus stops around 400 m from the hotel.
"Other"
- 14 Nordic Light Hotel, Vasaplan 7.101 37 Stockholm. Tel.: 46 8 505 630 00. Directly at the main train station and therefore ideally centrally located, this four-star hotel with its beautiful interior design turns out to be a sham. In reality it is more like a three-star budget hotel; especially when the hotel is full, breakfast is like a train station atmosphere and a fight for food and seats breaks out. The rooms are quite small. And, non-smokers watch out, non-smoking rooms are advertised, but not guaranteed, so that you are definitely forced to stay in a room that smells extremely of smoke.

security
Stockholm is a relatively safe city, even the intrusive begging in other metropolises takes place more discreetly here. Be careful with drunk people. In places with a high number of tourists, such as the train station and Gamla Stan, however, the usual petty crime such as bag and luggage theft can be expected. SL personnel can be found practically everywhere on public transport, for example at the sluices of the Tunnelbanan, who intervene in the event of problems.

Practical advice
.JPG/160px-Stockholm_Telefonzelle_(1).JPG)
International credit cards work largely without any problems, and the PIN is often required. Paying with a non-Swedish credit card is declined in a few rare cases, but legitimation is often required. A valid identity card is sufficient in practically all cases. There are no problems with machines. EU documents (passport, driver's license, identity card) are sufficient for almost all situations.
The most common language here is of course Swedish, but tourists do not need to learn it as practically every Swede speaks English fluently. For German visitors, reading various signs is relatively unproblematic, as Swedish is very similar to German. If there are any problems, there are many people on the street who are ready to help.
In contrast to many other cities, you can find benches everywhere in Stockholm to relax and linger. So you don't necessarily have to stop for a break somewhere. You can also find trash cans on every corner.
trips
Skärgården
The Baltic Sea Archipelago (skärgården), is often found in the inner, middle and outer archipelago (inner, mellan and ytter-skärgård) divided up. In the inner archipelago you cannot see the open sea. The islands are large and forested and the waterways are quite narrow. In contrast, the outer archipelago is a transition area to the open sea. It has large bodies of water and small islands. Operates all year round Waxholmsbolaget Shipping in the Baltic Sea archipelago:
- From Stockholm the boat travels through the inner archipelago to the small fortress town in just over an hour 2 Vaxholm. The is worth seeing on a small offshore island 14 Vaxholm Fortress with museum. You can return from Vaxholm by bus or boat.
- The former fortress 15 Fredriksborg fästning can be easily reached by car. Both parts of the system are separated from each other by 180 m of water. All large ships, cruise ships, large ferries as well as cargo ships on their way to and from Stockholm pass through this narrowness, an impressive spectacle.
- A classic excursion destination is the pilot station in 3 Sandhamn at the beginning of the outer archipelago. In summer it is a glamorous meeting place for sailors, in winter only a few live here.
- Other beautiful islands can also be reached in the warm season by public boats, for example 16 Utö and 17 Rödlöga.
