  2. Junibacken

    A must for children (and the child within), this whimsical theme-park recreates scenes from Astrid Lindgren's children's books. Catch the flying Story Train over Stockholm, shrink to the size of a sugar cube and end up at Villekulla cottage where kids can shout, squeal and dress up like Pippi Longstocking. There's a café and a well-stocked children's bookshop. The best time to visit is mid-week, when the queues won't test your smile.
