Just got back from Stockholm and I loved it with the exception of the breathtaking cost of everything. Examples:
* 2 large Starbucks coffees (Americanos w/ an extra shot): $16 * 1 tap average beer: $9 * 10 min cab ride: $30 (on Taxi Stockholm; any other one, triple it) * Dinner at an average restaurant w/ drinks: $120 And our travel snafu room we needed in AMS at the airport hilton woulda been $400/nt would it not been for those kick ass Hilton Honors points which brings me to how we paid for this trip. The Hilton Stockholm kicks major ass. It's one of the best Hiltons we've stayed at and one of the best located hotels in town - I think our room (4th floor) has the best view from any hotel in the city. Anyway we paid for the room with Hilton points and mostly ate in the totally awesome Hilton exec club which saved us about $100/day. Want a port wine, beer, or 18 year old scotch? np, it's free. Open from 6am-11pm. Awesome. Hot breakfast, snacks all day, and some hot stuff at night meant you can practically eat all your meals there if you wanted. Stockholm, if you like European cities, it's awesome: a walking town , some english but too much, no danger at all, lots of cools stuff to see, great subway system, excellent coffee (better than Seattle!), nice people. It's my new favorite city. Plus it's got an ICEBAR.
