Traveling with a gimlet eye.
“to have a gimlet eye”: to look at carefully and not miss anything
Welcome to The Gimlet Traveler. As our friends know, my husband and I are as particular about the quality of our vodka gimlets as we are about where and how we travel. For some time now, they have asked me for our vacation travel recommendations, so I’ve finally gathered my thoughts in one place, here, at The Gimlet Traveler. Most of these destinations are places we’ve visited, while some are planned itineraries for the future. New destinations, themed posts and pictures will continue to appear over time so be sure to check back! Hope you find this information helpful or inspiring. Cheers!

Stockholm, Sweden
Packed with sophisticated shops (GT loves Swedish design), a diverse array of restaurants and bars, plenty of art (in museums, galleries—even throughout the entire subway system), culture (a gorgeous opera house, and, um, ABBA!) and lots of outdoor space to explore (the city is spread across 14 islands connected by walkable bridges), Stockholm is an ideal future gimlet traveler destination — especially when enjoyed during the extra-long days of midsummer.
