Travel Trends: What’s Hot In 2013

2. Stockholm

Why now: The gorgeous and gay-loving Swedish capital is near the top of must-go lists every year, and in 2013 it will finally see the opening of the long-awaited ABBA Museum. Stockholm was also just voted global Style Capital by Logo TV’s NewNowNext.com, and until the end of March, the Museum of Far East Antiquities is hosting Secret Love, a groundbreaking show featuring more than 20 contemporary queer Chinese artists.

Where to stay: The sleekly-designed urban island oasis Hotel Skeppsholmen

Where to eat: The über-hip and Michelin-starred F12

Where to drink: The stylish summer floating deck bar Malarpaviljongen

Side trip: Lovely Malmö, which in May will host the 2013 edition of the deliciously campy Eurovision Song Contest
