This guide is ideal for first-time visitors to Stockholm wanting to get the most out of two days in this beautiful capital. I'll let you know where to go to avoid the crowds, even at the busiest tourist spots, take you to see magnificent views across the islands that make up Stockholm, and provide dining choices so that you don't have to spend time searching for a spot to eat.
The city has been my home for some years now and I love showing off its best sides to visitors.
