Sweden

Scandinavia's biggest country has had a long and influential history -- meaning lots of impressive architecture, historic sights, folklore, and culture. The Stockholm archipelago is breathtaking, as is much of the rest of the country. Svenska power!

Go with the flow in SoFo, Stockholm's trendiest neighborhood

JJFarquitectos If you’re the kind of traveller who likes to get beyond a destination’s usual tourist haunts and take the pulse of today’s trends – especially when it comes to culture – then while visiting Sweden’s capital you definitely won’t want to miss SoFo (short for “south of Folkungagatan”, a major business thoroughfare, and of course meant to evoke SoHo in London and New York City) read post
