Here's Bahar Holy List, 10 Do's and Don'ts of Stockholm
1- Visit the photography museum Fotografiska. It is one of the largest photography only museums in the world.
2- Visit the Moderna museum if you are interested in contemporary art.
3- If you want to enjoy good quality cigars, visit the Cigarrummet. they offer good asortment of cigarrs and pipes and have a nice staff.
4- Take your time and go for a walking tour in Gamla stan, the old town.
5- Visit the Sky bar (26th floor) on top of Skrapan skyscraper and Himlen restaurant (25th floor) in southern district of Stockholm called Sodermalm.
6- Visit the Vasa Museum, named after Vasa ship which sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 and was salvaged in 1961.

8- Try a boat trip to Djurgardkanalen.
9- Looking for some excitement, then Try Grona Lund amusement park.

Don'ts
1- Do not forget your Id card when you want to buy alcohol.
2- Do not take black (unregistered ) Taxi. it is not safe.
3- Do not waste your time on shopping. Stockholm is more beautiful than that.
4- Do not expect to buy cheaper from Ikea in Sweden. It is a myth.
5- Do not visit Fjäderholmarna island unless you have lots of money to spend.
6- The only Casino in Stockholm is not worth a try!
7- Do not pee in public. there is always a toilet nearby but do not forget your pee money (10 swedish korons ) , Nothing is free.
8- Do not run after bus or train from SL (Stockholm Public Transport). There will be another one in just a few minutes. Take it easy. As mentioned before, you can also take local boat service like Djurgarden ferry which "depart for Djurgården from Slussen; they are a classic feature of life in Stockholm and they carry city slickers and tourists to Skansen, Waldemarsudde or the Rosendal gardens."
9- We do not smoke indoor in Sweden. including while standing in bus stop.
10- Avoid drunk people. Stockholm and Sweden is mostly safe but there is no harm to avoid drunk people or dark areas during the night.
