We round up some of our favourite articles of 2015.
In 2015, Slow Travel Stockholm continued to grow with talented contributors who help strengthened STS with their unique voices and we launched a special section called “Local Voices” where we’ll be introducing you to locals and some of their favourite things to do in Stockholm.
We also put together 50 free ways to explore Stockholm and 20 insider tips to help you navigate the city like a local.
We integrated with Booking.com’s offbeat lodging search engine so you can book cool places like boat hotels during your next stay in Stockholm.
In 2016, we hope to bring on key sponsors and partners who share our vision and passion for the concept of slow travel. We would love to keep bringing you deeper coverage of and more untold stories from Stockholm so you can see a different side of this city we love so much.
So grab a cup of coffee and check out some of our favourite stories from 2015. And if you’d like to share your own stories of exploring Stockholm beyond the standard guidebooks, please get in touch.
