Stockholm is the second biggest start-up hub in the world, second only to Silicon Valley and attracts some of the most innovative people from all over the world. The city is characterized by its tall rust-colored homes, as well as the harmonious coexistence between medieval buildings and avant-garde architecture.
If you’re looking to get one of the best views of Stockholm, head down to the Skinnarviksberget hill in Södermalm; it’s the highest natural point within the city center of Stockholm, and a definite hotspot for locals looking to enjoy a nice calming picnic, or even a beer or two.
Want to visit a true Swedish museum? No problem!

The Skansen museum and the Nobel Museum are another two prominent sites that are worth visiting.
