Royally explore the Royal Palace

Boasting over 600 rooms, the Royal Palace of Stockholm is a veritable hub of Swedish monarchy. Encompassing three museums and the grand Royal Apartments, a truly regal experience awaits all who venture to this spectacular site.

Unearth history at Skansen

Step back in time at Skansen, the world's oldest open-air museum and zoo, showcasing historic houses and customs from all corners of Sweden. Take in the enchanting presentations of traditional craftsmanship, and for the little ones, don't miss Lill-Skansen's children's zoo.

Ship ahoy at the Vasa Museum

Feast your eyes on an authentic 17th century warship at the Vasa Museum. Salvaged from the ocean bed, this spectacularly preserved vessel offers an insight into maritime history like no other.

Turn up the heat at Hellasgården

Embrace the authentic Swedish tradition of sauna at Hellasgården, a green, nature-filled retreat located in Nacka. Follow a steamy sauna session with a dip in the lake for a revitalising day out.

Stroll around Gamla Stan

Arguably Stockholm's most charming district, Gamla Stan, is a must-visit. Wander the tiny, winding streets lined with quaint shops and cosy cafés within this historic island, that's home to the oldest square and church in Stockholm.

City Essentials

Timing is key when planning an unforgettable trip to Stockholm. This maritime city, with its unique archipelago, sits pretty under the protective canopies of both arctic and temperate climates, offering a distinct four-season experience.

For mild temperatures, longer days, and a full events calendar, consider visiting between May and September. However, if wrapping up warm, exploring glistening snowy landscapes, and catching sight of the northern lights sounds appealing, then the colder months offer a truly magical Stockholm city break.

Nightlife

Stockholm's after-dark scene bustles with a wide array of late-night spots, from glamorous rooftops to underground dance clubs. Varied and vibrant, there's something for every type of night owl in this Nordic city.

For live music enthusiasts, Debaser Strand is a must-visit. Featuring concerts, DJ shows, and a rocking outdoor bar - this venue promises a memorable evening.

If cocktails are your preference, Södra Teatern is an absolute treat. Claiming to be the oldest theatre in Stockholm, its multi-level bars and terraces boast some of the best views in the city.

For party lovers, seek out Tradgarden - an iconic outdoor club underneath the Skanstull Bridge. Offering a real taste of Stockholm's electronic music scene, enjoy a dance under the stars on a warm Swedish night.

Finally, a Stockholm experience wouldn't be complete without sampling traditional Swedish "snaps" at a local haunt like Pelikan or Tennstopet. Cheers to Stockholm!
