THE EDIT

HOW TO GET THERE

Flying from Sydney to Stockholm will cost about $1500

return with Emirates. The best time to visit the Swedish

capital is in summer (from June to August), but airfares

will be pricier then. A taxi into the CBD from the airport

will set you back between $40 and $60.

EXPLORE

8. ArkDes
   The Swedish Centre For Architecture And
   Design (above) is associated with the
   Moderna Museet gallery, and entry is free.
   The centre is a lot smaller and has one or
   two special exhibitions, and a permanent
   exhibition where 3D models illustrate the
   development of Swedish architecture.

STAY

9. Ett Hem
   You’ll discover Stockholm’s most exclusive
   boutique hotel sitting a little off the city
   centre, in among charming late 19th-century
   townhouses in the quiet residential suburb
   of Lärkstaden. British designer Ilse Crawford
   has converted one of these residences into
   a hotel, where you will immediately feel at
   home. Guests are treated to an inviting
   library and a lounge room with corner bar,
   and breakfast is served in the orangerie –
   definitely no soulless reception area here.
