Millennium Trilogy tours proving a hit in Stockholm by Cheap Flights Booker UK

Tourists keen to follow in the footsteps of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist are heading to Stockholm in growing numbers, it has been reported.

Just as the Lord of the Rings trilogy of films was credited with boosting New Zealand"s popularity among international travellers, so is Steig Larsson"s Millennium trilogy encouraging fans to see the Swedish capital for themselves.

Indeed, according to USA Today, such is the popularity of the books - which are now being transformed into Hollywood films - that it"s possible to take specially-themed tours of the city.

As well as taking in the picturesque harbour of Nybroviken, where anti-heroine Salander has a home, the tours run by the Stockholm City Museum also take in the café"s frequented by campaigning journalist Blomkvist and the working-class district of Sodermalm.

However, while the attraction is clear to many tourists, locals seem a bit more perplexed with some telling the newspaper that they are "fascinated" by the fact people are happy to travel hundreds, and sometimes thousands of miles, to visit fictional locations.

Aside from the locations frequented by the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", Stockholm is also home to attractions including the Royal Palace, the cobbled Old Town and the Ericsson Globe sports arena and concert hall.
