Stockholm: Copenhagen’s Bigger, Bluer Cousin
Architecture, Building, Spire

Copenhagen and Stockholm are often paired on Scandinavian itineraries, which makes complete sense. Both are handsome waterfront capitals packed with boats, bicycles, top-tier public transport, serious museums, and a population that seems constitutionally incapable of designing an ugly chair.
