One of Europe's most picturesque capitals, Stockholm is also known as the start up capital of Europe. As a vital and progressive hub of information and innovation (it's the birthplace of Skype and Spotify, just to name two), the Swedish capital has rapidly evolved into one of the global leaders in technology – second only to Silicon Valley. When added to its thriving manufacturing industry (think Ikea, Volvo and Ericsson for a start), Stockholm has become a popular destination for international Business travellers.

This Nordic city is among my favourite places to do business and, in the numerous times I've visited, I've been impressed with the infrastructure and the seemingly effortless way it manages to cater equally well to tourists and corporate travellers.
