Trip to Sweden

Sweden is one of the most accessible areas of travel in Western Europe. This statement will be raised some eyebrows a few years ago, but it became a reality. So why not go to Stockholm this year?
The leaders of both continents, may have different views on world politics, but U.S. travelers like Europe, just as the Europeans like to see in the U.S.. Several American tour operators and travel agencies even expect to sell more trips to Europe this year than ever before.
This is wonderful. Dollar euro exchange rates to make the European vacation away from cheaper today.
If you want to see Europe without losing too much money, you must choose a direction that had not yet switched to the euro.
Sweden is a great choice. Sweden is one of the EU (do not require a visa for Americans), while the Swedes are still paying with the Crown, rather than in euros.
To make sure that prices in the Nordic countries, in fact, far less than I the price of three well-located three hotels in the Swedish capital Stockholm to similar hotels in the popular capitals of the two euro zone countries in Paris and Rome.
The difference was incredible. Prices in Stockholm started between 113 and 125 dollars per night. In Rome, you had to pay from 155 dollars and 184, and in Paris from 167 dollars and 222 dollars.
And this is just the price. Restaurant prices in Stockholm took place in recent years, but at least for foreigners.
I also went to a popular ticket seller and the search for the lowest price. The cheapest ticket from New York to Stockholm cost 851 dollars, while the best tickets to Rome and Paris cost 897 dollars each.
But hey, you do not choose a travel destination because of the money! Would you like to see something too!
Well, do not worry about it. Stockholm is often called the most beautiful capital in the world, and rightly so.
The city is built on 14 islands, and another 24,000 not far. Wherever you go, you always get a glimpse of water. This is a very green city, too. Stockholm is the only capital city in the world with the legal protection of the national park within the city.
And that’s not all. There is a well-preserved old town with the center of the medieval streets and alleys. The city has about 100 museums, which are different and attractive to all ages – and many even have free admission.
A vibrant nightlife and modern shopping area to keep you busy after the sightseeing, but relaxed atmosphere and amazing clean streets only add to your holiday mood.
See you in Stockholm this year? You should already be there!
