Check Out Our City Guide

December 1, 2008

At Red Apple Apartments we pride ourselves on our service and we do everything we can to make your stay in our apartment and your entire visit to Stockholm as comfortable and relaxing as possible. While we want you to feel at home in our accommodation, we also recognize that you might want to get out and do some sightseeing during your stay. So if you decide to leave the comfort of your apartment, we have created a city guide to help you plan your excursions.

The guide has information on city history, local cultural attractions, recreational activities, day trips around the area, and general dining, shopping and transportation information. Everything is on our website so you can plan ahead or decide on something to do once you get to your apartment (all of our properties include internet access).

Check out our city guide to Stockholm or learn about any of our other destinations and pack your bags!

Travelling with a laptop

Is your laptop computer your ‘office’ or an indispensable tool on which you depend for a living?

Travelling with a laptop

Is your laptop just a faithful companion, and you decide travelling ‘together’ to Stockholm? There are some things you should know in order to protect and use it properly. Take a look on our advises!

Before your departure for Stockholm, we would suggest preparing your laptop computer for the future challenges. If your plan is to have Internet access, you have to check if the security updates and a firewall are installed, so as to prevent intrusions from other computers that are using the Internet. If you need your files fully protected, our recommendation is to encode them or to transfer them to a portable CD. Why not try this for encoding your files?

If you’ll fly to Stockholm in economy class and you’re planning to use your computer for a long time, we would say it’s good bringing a second battery. That is not necessary if you’re flying in first or business class, where your seat has a power outlet. Check this to see which are the airlines providing seats with power outlets for laptops, go to.

Before leaving for Stockholm, you should know that is possible to need a plug adapter to accommodate the type of electrical plug used at your hotel. We would recommend a careful reading of the labels on your power adaptor.

If your looking for a place to go online, there are lot of WiFi hotspots around the city. Most coffee houses have WiFi, if you have problems finding one you can ask just around.

Being aware of these common threats and preventing them, you can stay connected on your trip Stockholm as long as you need to.
