Stockholm is a very interesting city for architecture lovers. Discovering Stockholm on foot is a great experience. Get off the main streets to the side and there between the residential buildings you will find true architectural wonders. Amazing the semi-circular building and park Fatbursparken.

On the way to the viewpoint Mariaberget - it is worth to go there to watch the sunset. The sunset in Stockholm in June is very long so you do not have to rush very fast.

M/S Birger Jarl - Hotel & Hostel, Stockholm
Cheap hostel very close to the center of Stockholm. The hotel is on the ship next to the Photographic Museum (Fotografiska) in Stockholm.
You can choose from a variety of cabin options from the cheapest multi-person room without bathroom, to cabin with window and bathroom - very different standards and prices.
The rooms are small but the proximity to the center and the waterbus stop (just behind the stern of the ship) are very good.
Free WiFi
The breakfasts were good.
