The Best Airbnbs in Stockholm Offer Up Scandinavian Tranquility

When considering Stockholm, you might not immediately recall that it comprises 14 islands, nor the fact that a vast archipelago of 30,000 islands is just a short boat trip away. However, the Swedish capital, where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea, is shaped significantly by its extensive waterways. Stockholm invites exploration through winding cobblestone streets that trace along canals, along with vibrant townhouses and cafés steeped in centuries of history, having been established as a trading post back in 1252. A trip to Stockholm is undoubtedly a must-do. While the city’s hospitality offerings pay stylish tribute to Nordic minimalism, the top Airbnbs in Stockholm immerse you in the center of the action.
