Stockholm can rightfully be called Scandinavian Paris. The romance of the capital of Sweden attracts millions of couples from around the world. We recommend several places for the most unforgettable romantic experiences in Stockholm.
1. Grona Lund
In Stockholm, much has not changed for centuries, unless it has modernized and supplemented. For example, the amusement park Grona Lund is still one of the most visited places in Stockholm. You need to go there not so much for the sake of attractions but because of the views that open from them and the amazing atmosphere that is created here in the evening thanks to the lights and music of the carousels.
2. Stortorget Square
This is part of Stockholm’s huge landmark – the Gamla Stan district. Once upon a time, there were different fairs and festivals on this square. Today many old alleys and facades in the square are preserved in their original form. If you look for good date ideas for winter, then start with this place.
3. Stockholm Old Town
Gamla Stan has perfectly preserved the spirit of the Middle Ages. The oldest square of the city of Stortorget remembers the noisy markets, executions and pathetic speeches of the rulers. And nowadays, it turns into a wonderful fair on Christmas Eve.
