Stockholm is a beautiful city filled with gorgeous people. And, then there’s the Kanelbullar (Sweden’s version of Cinnabuns).
If money were no object, what would you do in Stockholm?
1) I’d spa at Sturebadet, then I have Afternoon Tea at the Grand Hotel, and finish up with shopping at the best shopping complexes: NK and Sturegallerian.
2) RIB Boats (high-speed boats) to Sandhamn
