What to do, where to stay, and where to eat in Sweden
© François Dischinger
When the summertime daylight hours stretch languorously toward midnight, Swedes stay out late, eating, drinking and ferrying between the jewel-like islands scattered along its archipelago. But even in the darkest winter months, the Swedish know a thing or two about keeping warm. They hang glowing stars in windows, burn torches outside cafés and restaurants, and hit the glogg stalls Stockholm's Old Town for steaming cups of mulled wine. Discover the secrets of Sweden through T+L—the trendsetting design shops, hot restaurants and boutique hotels that insiders know—as well as maps and travel deals to get you there and around.
