Hotels By City: Cheap Hotels, Hotel Guides & Hotel Blogs

Stockholm's summers are as short as they are beautiful, so do as the Swedes do: take the party outside. A heavenly spot---both kicking and cozy---is Restaurang Josefina. Named after a Victorian-era queen and located in Djurgården ("Stockholm's Central Park" ) just outside the exclusive Östermalm district, this place is certain to draw an elite crowd.

You're not expected to drop a fortune, either. I spent a delightful couple hours lounging on the colorful outdoor cushions and drinking 55-krona beers. The palm trees are a nice touch, although I have no idea how they survive there. I sometimes had to glance over at the neighboring Nordiska Museet to convince myself that I was not in Dubai.

I was lucky enough to catch a sunny evening, but if it rains, you can always grab a bite to eat in the sleek, polished-white interior. Directions can be found here.
