Long renowned for its scenic beauty, Sweden is fast becoming a cultural and culinary destination as well. There are an estimated 1500 restaurants and bars in Stockholm alone, and Swedes are becoming as fanatical about chefs as they are about their national hockey team. Since its designation as the cultural capital of Europe in 1998, Stockholm has become a trendy destination for museum goers, students of architecture, music lovers and the club set.
This is part of the premier Frommer's series - the only book independent travellers need to make smart choices, avoid rip-offs, get the most for their money, and travel like a pro.
It includes complete details on getting active, from serving up a game of tennis (on Bjorn Borg's practice courts, no less) to hitting the dogsled trail, to sailing one of the Baltic's most visually rewarding archipelagos. There are also tips on where to go to see the northern lights. The book is packed with lots of money-saving tips and affordable hotels and restaurants to help travellers save money in this expensive destination.
