There's something about Stockholm in late June that's almost pagan — the sun barely sets and the entire city drifts outdoors. Midsomar celebrations turn parks into flower-crowned parties, and Swedes who seemed reserved all winter suddenly become convivial. I joined a crayfish party one August and the warmth wasn't just the schnapps. Winter is its own character: 5 hours of daylight, candle-lit cafés, and a hygge-like quality locals call mys. November is the gloomy exception — I'd skip it. February brings real cold but also snow that makes the archipelago feel otherworldly.
