Stockholm is the capital of Sweden, a city spread across 14 islands and known for its medieval old town Gamla Stan, its royal palaces and its rich museums. Turkish Airlines operates direct flights from Istanbul to Stockholm (IST-ARN) in about 3 hours 20 minutes. With its cool, calm air, lake-and-sea views and modern design sensibility, it makes a classic northern European city break to explore on foot in autumn.

The best time is May to September, when the days are long and mild; in autumn the parks turn golden and the city quietens. Winters are cold and dark, so it is wise to pack warm clothing.
