In that time, my relationship with the city has evolved and deepened in all sorts of interesting ways. As a young man I remember feeling dumbstruck by how cool and beautiful everything in Stockholm seemed to be, from its seemingly endless waterfront and elegant architecture to its abundance of hip design shops, cafes, bars and clubs.
These days, as a dad-of-two, I'm simply grateful for the excellent standard of living the Swedish capital supports. But the rest is still pretty cool too. Here are the best things to do in Stockholm. This guide was updated by Malcolm Jack , a writer based in Stockholm. At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out.

Forest-covered and dotted with brightly coloured cottages, the islands on your way range from the remote and unexplored to pristine tourist spots boasting boutique hotels , galleries and long stretches of sandy beaches.
