Sweden

Our trip to Stockholm was an extension of a business visit in mid-January, when the city was deep in the grip of winter. With temperatures dipping below -20°C, exploring the city was less about leisurely strolling and more about braving the cold. Taking photos felt like a race against time—every time we took off our gloves, it was a battle to snap a shot before our fingers froze! Despite the biting cold, the city’s winter charm was undeniable. The snow-covered streets and frosty canals gave Stockholm a magical, almost fairy-tale quality, warming our hearts even if our toes weren’t so sure.
