BREAK IN OSLO OR STOCKHOLM

any suggestions on which is preferable to go to oslo or stockholm for 2 or 3 days. No great desire to visit lots of museums etc. Just soak up the atmosphere. Maybe october or november for a few snowscapes etc

Stockholm....Gamla Stan, boat trip to see some islands in the archipelago,Bergius gardens etc. Lots of places to just hang around.

Certainly more to do and see in Stockholm. Beautiful walks along the waterfronts. Nice parklands.

My favorite thing to see in Oslo was the sculpture park but that sounds a bit museumy, so on balance I think you'd do well to give Stockholm your nod.

Another vote for Stockholm, beautiful setting,lots of options. I also liked Oslo a lot but the prices in Norway are much higher than in Sweden and that makes a difference.

Definitely Stockholm, much more interesting than Oslo. Stockholm is my favourite Scadninavian city. Oslo's limited attraction keep me busy for a day, there's more to see/do in Stockholm.
