STOCKHOLM - ARCHIPELAGIC BOHEMIA

Water frames this maritime urban hub of clean living, liberal values and quiet sophistication, whereby fabulous Royalist heritage seamlessly marry with modernist functionality - all with that enviable clarity of the Swedish touch.

It is a hub that fosters creativity alongside rooted traditionalism, all dusted in fables and pagan tales.

Across the some 14 islands (holm) that make up the city, you will find small beacons of individualism from bespoke fashion houses, crafted furniture design, jewellers, potters et al which are ever-present, it is a sort of loose creative co-operative that echoes throughout the city scene and so unlike many other destinations – here you find a distinctive signature.

So catch yourself some of the ethereal light that casts an effervescent mood across the waters and head to this Nordic enclave.

Stockholm is akin to A CULTURAL SURF N TURF - urban pleasures on the edge of the archipelagos.
