Stockholm and Warsaw by Air

Built on fourteen islands around one of Europe's largest and best-preserved medieval city centers, Stockholm is superbly positioned, with stunning and extremely varied scenery in every direction. To the west, Lake Malaren branches out among lush, idyllic landscapes. To the east the magnificent Stockholm archipelago stretches seaward, an enchanting maritime world of more than 24,000 islands and islets. The Old Town is particularly spectacular, and walking around the city's waterways and parks is a glorious way to spend a weeklong stretch of European summer.

Visit Gamla Stan (Old Town), Vasa Museum, Djurgarden, Skansen Open-Air Museum, The Royal Palace (Sveriges Kungahus), Fotografiska, The City Hall (Stadshuset), Moderna Museet, Royal National City Park, Östermalm, SkyView: The Globe, and so much more.

Much of Warsaw's historic center was painstakingly recreated and today's Old Town buildings are closer to the original architecture than they were previously. There are a wealth of shops and restaurants to potter around in. The city also boasts many green spaces, with leafy parks where row boats cruise past outdoor cafés during the summer and free classical concerts attract crowds of listeners. In addition, the Former Jewish ghetto is a stark reminder of the unforgiving hand of history. The nightlife scene is equally surprising, with the city's increasingly well-dressed youth flocking to the countless bars and clubs of a city that now hums after dark.

Visit and explore the Palace of Culture and Science, Royal Castle in Warsaw, Lazienki Park, National Museum, Copernicus Science Centre, Museum of the History of the Polish Jews, Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Wilanow Palace, and so much more.
