Why We Fell in Love during Our Stockholm Trip

Considered to be one of the most livable cities in the world, Stockholm is progressive with its cashless society and also quirky with a subway system that doubles as a modern art gallery.

If you’re wondering whether you should visit Stockholm, the answer is yes. Not surprisingly, Sweden’s capital is hip and filled with great Swedish food.

Traditionally prepared, Swedish meatballs are pork or beef meatballs covered with brown gravy.

Meatballs

Local purveyors procure much of the farm-raised, fatty fish from nearby Norway for their luxurious, cold smoked product.

Seafood

They make this unique sandwich by putting a hot dog in a large flatbread and then top the tubular meat with mayonnaise, mashed potatoes, onions and shrimp salad.
