Sweden - Stockholm & Around (Chapter) Lonely Planet

Stockholm’s good looks and mad style could be intimidating, but this city is an accessible beauty. Gamla Stan is a concoction of storybook buildings, imposing palaces and razor-thin cobblestone streets. The modern city centre shines like a fashion magazine come to life.And it’s all surrounded by pristine forests and an archipelago. What’s not to love?

Coverage includes: Around Stockholm, Drottningholm, Vaxholm, Stockholm Archipelago, Kapellskär, Tyresta National Park, Sigtuna and Mariefred.

Sweden - Stockholm & Around (Chapter)

STOCKHOLM, HERE I COME

Goodmorning, I'm ready for my trip to Stockholm for the GANT FW 2013.

And Winter it is in Stockholm minus 10 Celsius and lots of snow. This picture was taken in front of Hotel J at Nacka Strand.

RESTAURANT TIP - TRATTORIAN

Italy came a little closer to Stockholm with the recently opened restaurant Trattorian. We enjoyed a great Italian diner with nice wines. It ain't just the food and the wines that brings you in an Italian mood also the whole interior, the large tables gives you the idea to be invited for diner by an Italian family.

STOCKHOLM HERE WE COME

Everything is packed for my trip to Stockholm, looking forward to the SS2013 presentations of GANT, GANT Rugger & last but not least GANT by Michael Bastian. (pic via Rippedbackpocket)

DAPHNE'S, STOCKHOLM

Last week, during my stay in Stockholm, I got a tip to visit Daphne's. This is an elegant neighborhood restaurant with French bistro atmosphere and lots of charm. You can find the dish of the day on a blackboard on the wall or you choose from the menu. You can easily spent an evening with the tapas style dishes from the "smatt & gott" menu or you choose a delicious starter with main course from the same menu. The waiters are stylish girls and guys dressed in shirt from GANT Rugger with a denim self edge apron. Is there something cooking? 

CHAD GOES TO STOCKHOLM

I will be in Stockholm for the rest of the week to enjoy the presentation of the F/W 2012 collections of Gant, Gant Rugger and last but not least Gant by Michael Bastian. The collection will be presented to us in Nacka, where Gant has his headquarters.
