If Design Is An Interest Of Yours, Get Inspiration From City Breaks To Stockholm

The capital of Sweden is in a league with Tokyo, Milan and New York and is hailed as one of the best and most innovative design cities in the world. The Swedes are frequently ahead of the game in the interior design and fashion stakes and are viewed as being so innovative that the country is often used as a test market for new products. Visitors to Sweden, on European city breaks will find there is a lot of inspirational work on offer. Now is the time, if you’re interested in design, to head to Sweden, especially as Skyscanner’s survey dispelled the expensive destination myth that hung over Sweden’s head for years. It may just give you the push you need to lend yourself to more creative things!

Stockholm offers several yearly exhibitions along with numerous museums covering aspects of design and art. Whilst on European city breaks to Stockholm, visit The Swedish Museum of Architecture and discover all the drawings related to the history of Swedish buildings. Hotel Skeppsholmen is top for design inspired accommodation, with each room offering different Swedish design features. Shoppers enjoy DesignTorget as they champion largely unknown designers and their limited edition ranges. After a day of taking in the sights, head to the popular and trendy restaurant, B.A.R, a gastronomic celebration!

Do your research first before heading off to design mecca Stockholm.
