Cheap Hotels in Stockholm - News

Long Day for a Long Run

Visitors to Stockholm in summer can find many ways to enjoy themselves during the very long days, with the sun barely going below the horizon, but the fit and brave can do it in style by entering the city's marathon.

The race takes place in the heart of the city on June 9th, taking in the sights and sounds of the Scandinavian metropolis and finishing in a grand manner by crossing the line in the 1912 Olympic Stadium.

Whether they choose to enter the 26 mile, 385 yard race or watch from the sidelines, visitors staying in cheap hotels can make the marathon part of a memorable trip to the Swedish capital.

Among the many attractions of this city is its watery location, surrounded by lakes and spread across 14 islands, making the place particularly attractive to those who like bridges or boats, while the city has a wide range of theatres and museums, plus a vibrant nightlife – not that there is much night in June.
