You like city breaks and Ikea, you say? That means your ideal destination in Europe is Sweden!

Cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg offer vibrant energy, historic charm, and stunning waterfronts. Dive into Gamla Stan's (Stockholm's Old Town) medieval streets, explore the cutting-edge design scene, or sip a Swedish craft beer in a hipster brewpub. 

An easy day trip from Stockholm brings you to Norrköping, an off-the-beaten track city with industrial heritage and walking paths through the city along the river. 

And for those inevitable Ikea cravings? No problem!  Sweden's the birthplace of the flat-pack giant, so you can browse the latest homeware or grab a classic Swedish meatball lunch.

To top it all off, experience the prestige of Stockholm –  host to the Nobel Prize ceremony and dinner each December. You may even be able to taste for yourself one of the Nobel banquet menus.

Pack your walking shoes, a touch of wanderlust, and maybe a measuring tape; let's go to Sweden!
