I only spent less than 72 hours in Stockholm… and because my couchsurfing host lived about an hour from the city center, I had to keep my schedule loose. I absolutely had a great time in Stockholm though! And while you may or may not have a host in Stockholm, this is an itinerary mostly based on free attractions. The attractions included in this list but I didn’t actually go are marked with green color.
