DESTINATIONS STOCKHOLM SCANDINAVIA
If you’ve got a head for heights you can throw yourself off the Victoria Tower – it’s the highest bungee jump in the Nordics
19.00: Flying Elk
16.00: If you’ve got a head for heights, you’ll love Stockholm’s newest attraction, and as of last year, you can even throw yourself off the Victoria Tower, the location for the highest bungee jump in the Nordics. Afterwards, pop next door to the Kista Galleria for some retail therapy. Essential stop-offs include Sweden’s biggest bookstore chain Akademibokhandeln, Åhléns, an upmarket Swedish department store, and Kahls The & Kaffehandel, a specialist tea and coffee shop that dates back to 1911.
