Arriving by boat is the best way to appreciate the Vasa Museum, the charm of the Old Town of Gamla Stan and the thrills of the rides at Gröna Lund Tivoli.
6. A fika break
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, stopping for a fika break is part of the Swedish DNA of relaxation. Slowing down for coffee and something sweet, usually simultaneously socialising, is such a Swedish cultural institution that the word is both a noun and a verb.
Some argue that fika derives from kaffi, an old Swedish word for coffee. Whatever the etymology, Swedes drink more coffee per head than most other nations.
