Stock Up on Something to Eat

Food fanatics looking for a culinary holiday may consider November 10th to the 12th to be a good time to visit Sweden, as the country hosts the Stockholm Food and Beverage Show.

The International fairs and congress centre will host the event, which sees everything to do with food, drink, kitchen equipment and cookbooks on display.

Entry is 120 Krona (£8.74) for adults and 50 Krona (£3.64) for children.

Away from the food, Stockholm is a large city by Scandinavian standards, with a population of 1.6 million in the metropolitan area and plenty of accommodation, including lots of cheap hotels.

The city is built across a number of islands at the mouth of Lake Malaren, featuring a number of bridges, marinas and locks, earning itself the moniker "Venice of the north".

According to the Visit Stockholm website, the water is so clean a visitor could drink it and catch salmon, even in the heart of the city.

Other attractions in the city include the historic old town, the Royal Palace with its crown jewels, the royal residence of Drottningholm Castle, the Alfred Nobel Museum with its features on the pantheon of prize winners and Storkyrkan, the medieval cathedral.
