Win a two-night break in Stockholm, Scandinavia’s fashion capital

Scandinavia wields an irresistible influence over global fashion, interiors and design. Stockholm, considered by many to be the region’s cultural capital, is brimming with the effortless style that has entranced the world in recent years. From its own Fashion Week to a smorgasbord of shopping destinations, creative cuisine and buzzing bars, Stockholm embodies everything about Scandi-cool.

The city is a goldmine for fashionistas. Some of Sweden’s chicest brands, including Acne, operate flagship stores in Norrmalm’s Bibliotekstan shopping district, where you can also satisfy your high-street urges by shopping at And Other Stories, H&M and COS. And those in the market for vintage finds need look no further than Södermalm, Stockholm’s very own answer to Brooklyn.

Stockholm’s bi-annual Fashion Week is hosted across two main venues, the Fashion Pavilion and Berns boutique hotel – and a two-night stay at Berns is up for grabs as part of this fantastic competition.

Billing itself as “an oasis for curious cosmopolitans”, Berns has been open since 1863 and an array of famous faces have stayed here over the years: you might sleep in the suite Marlene Dietrich once occupied, which was also used by The Supremes as a dressing room. Foodies will want to try out the sophisticated modern Asian menu at Berns Asiatiska, or head to Berns Bistro & Bar for a selection of French classics, while those in the mood for dancing will be pleased to hear that Berns is also home to Audiio, a basement nightclub, and a concert hall that has hosted performances by Rhianna, among others.

Along with return flights for two from a London airport and two nights at the Berns hotel, the winner will receive two return train tickets from Arlanda Airport to central Stockholm courtesy of the Arlanda Express.

For your chance to win this fantastic prize, simply fill in your details below.
