A week ago, I jetted off to : to see for the first time. In my four days in the Scandinavian city, I experienced the ultimate — members can redeem their points for special adventures like this one — which included premium tickets to the Eras Tour in Stockholm, a stay at the luxe Nobis Hotel, and other activities. While the main purpose of this trip was to see Swift in concert, I was excited to check out Stockholm's famous sights, shops, and food in the days prior.
Stockholm is known as the world's "smallest big city" for a reason. Spread across 14 different islands, the city is easily walkable and surrounded by beautiful lakes and greenery almost everywhere you look. In just two days, I was able to take in the architecture of must-see tourist spots like the Swedish Royal Palace and Stockholm's historic old town Gamla Stan; walk through serene parks like Humlegården and Kungsträdgården; and roam the designer stores in Biblioteksstan — all in between snacking on Swedish meatballs and enjoying afternoon fikas.
Although it was admittedly a jam-packed few days, the result was the perfect mix of history, food, and fashion before the main event. To accommodate for both attending the show and exploring Stockholm, I made sure to pack in addition to chic, casual outfits and general for a quick European getaway.
