Sightseeing

Where I usually take friends and family from out of town. A general tip is to check out the walking tours of Stockholm at Wikivoyage. Completely free with lots of information. One favorite is about historical Stockholm:
A 500-meter long (quarter mile) walking path with a magnificent view of Lake Mälaren, City Hall, and Riddarholmen, especially at sunrise and sunset. The path is lined with charming houses on one side and a beautiful view on the other. Bring your camera!

Great restaurants, beautiful location, and shopping too. But try the smaller streets and Österlånggatan for the shopping instead of the touristy Västerlånggatan. ​
