Postcard from Stockholm, Sweden

Postcard from Stockholm, Sweden

The capital of Sweden is absolutely gorgeous–but in a different way from Paris or Rome. Instead of romantic streets, charming courtyards and perfectly-planned gardens, Stockholm boasts wide boulevards, modern buildings and an unbelievable amount of parks–with grass you can actually tread on. While it was a chilly change from the Côte d’Azur, there was an amazing amount of sunshine this week–even more beautiful when reflected off the water.
