Tourist attractions
In the city’s Old Town, known as Gamla Stan, you will find many of its historical attractions, including Stockholm Cathedral, the gargantuan Royal Palace, and numerous buildings from the medieval era.
During your trip to Stockholm you’ll probably want to visit at least two museums out of the dozens on offer. The Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, or National Museum of Natural History, has exhibits spanning millions of years and is home to Sweden’s largest planetarium. For more recent Swedish history, visit the Historiska Museet (Swedish History Museum).
Your trip will also provide the perfect staging point for an expedition to the Stockholm Archipelago. It stretches across 30 miles of ocean and contains approximately 24,000 islands and islets. If you are planning on doing a lot of island-hopping, then it is worth purchasing a boat-pass, for unlimited travel. -
Leisure activities
Sightseeing tours of the historic canals and streets of Stockholm are popular activities for visitors, and can help you get your bearings.
Few would envisage Stockholm as a beach destination, but swimming by the shore is popular with locals and tourists alike, during the summer months. The water here is renowned for its cleanliness. Smedsuddsbadet and Langholmen Island are two of the most frequently visited areas for swimming. During the winter months, there are many options for cross-country skiing, with slopes suitable for all levels of ability.
If you would prefer to sit back and leave the sports to the professionals during your trip to Stockholm, then take in an ice hockey game at the Hovet arena. -
Food
As with many Scandinavian tourist destinations, prices for dining in Stockholm are far from cheap, but the breadth and quality of the choices generally make up for the slightly higher cost. Old Town has a wide selection of restaurants, and is home to some of the more affordable gastro-pubs. The Sodermalm district is packed with trendy eating establishments.
Ask anyone to name a Swedish culinary creation, and the first thing they’ll probably come up with is the eponymous meatballs, served at Ikeas around the world. But there is so much more to Swedish cuisine. Sample räkor (fresh shrimp), tuck into a bowl of egg-and-anchovy-based gubbröra, or satisfy your sweet tooth with a cinnamon bun (kanelbullar). -
Shopping
If you’re travelling to Stockholm looking to lighten your wallet and weigh down your bags, then visit Drottninggatan for a variety of major-brand shopping and smaller independent stores. For mall retail, head to Sturegallerian or Bruno Gotgatsbacken.
