Spread across 14 islands connected by bridges, with a cobblestoned old town (Gamla Stan) and a smattering of elegant parks, Stockholm combines fairytale good-looks with the functionality of a Scandinavian metropolis, and the safety and slickness of this city makes it a particularly great city option for solo females. Perhaps get your bearings in a GPS-guided Vespa Tour designed by locals, winding up in hip Södermalm at the Pet Sounds Bar (psb.bar), the ginsoaked sister of the legendary record store across the street, which plays everything from Abba to Zappa.
Culture comes easy in Stockholm, so start at the Moderna Museet (modernamuseet.se) on the central island of Skeppsholmen, or take things shamelessly pop at the ABBA Museum Hall of Fame (abbathemuseum.com). Berns Hotel (berns.se; from £220) is the chandelier-draped grand dame with a legendary bar and restaurant, at the geographical and figurative heart of Stockholm, but the stylish young upstart is Miss Clara (missclarahotel.com; from £150). This sleek 92-room Nobis hotel is housed in the former Ateneum girls school, with original art nouveau decor and herringbone parquet flooring, swirly bentwood bedheads and arched windows that overlook Sveavägen Boulevard.
