The capital of Sweden is an ideal destination for a New Year under the sign of "Hygge" and "Lagom" two Swedish concepts which are the new trend of well-being. 

 

Forget about binge drinking, alcohol mixtures, the aftermath of dubious experiences such as left clothes, kisses too quickly given, wandering and excess. 

 

The "Lagom" and the "Hygge" are well-being concepts , for oneself, for others and for the planet. The "Lagom" preaches sobriety be happy with simple things like a meal with friends,  in a restaurant, a walk in nature. The "hygge"  cultivates small pleasures, moments for oneself and for friends. These two concepts also include a reflection on our planet,  ecology but also our relation to the others.

 

If you prefer to start the New Year off on the right foot and prefer to wake up with a smile rather than a hangover, New Year’s Eve in Stockholm is a good choice.
