Stockholm Visitor Guide
A collection of things to do and see in Stockholm. The headers below contain a selection of places, all places can also be viewed on the corresponding Google Map.
Things to do
Stockholm changes a lot depending on the weather.
If it’s sunny out, bring your swimming trunks and head out to the bars and take a dip after. Go to Systembolaget, grab some beers, some ice from a nearby shop, then head to a park and have a picknick!
If it’s rainy, go to the museums or head to a cafe for a fika!
Mariaberget
Great view of Stockholm, combine with watching the sunset after a walk around Söder.
Brunnsviken
Park in the center of the city, great for swimming with multiple options to choose from.
Rosendals Trädgård
Cute cafe, combine with a walk around Djurgården.
Hellasgården
Can be reached by bus, great for swimming and hikes. Try the sauna and cold swimming during winter!
Archipelago
There are multiple companies which have boats which go to the Stockholm archipelago. Sandhamn, Fjäderholmarna etc.
City Hall
Go to the top of Stockholm city hall. Combine with a walk along Norr Mälarstrand.
Vitabergsparken
Go here on a sunny Friday/Saturday with some beers, then head out to Trädgården after.
Vasa Museum
Recovered sunken ship.
Tyresta National Park
Hiking in nature near Stockholm that’s reachable by train + bus. Deserves a full day.
Kayak
Paddle around Stockholm or out to the archipelago. There’s also KAYAKOMAT.
Restaurants & Bars
Mostly relaxed places and reasonably priced food.
Urban Deli Sveavägen
Nice rooftop bar in the central city.
Hermans
Cheap vegan on Söder.
Mosebacketerasson
Outdoor bar with a view on Söder.
Meno Male
Proper Italian neopolitan pizza for a reasonable price. They have multiple locations in Stockholm.
Palmyra Kebab
Best kebab in Stockholm, a bit off though.
Restaurang AG
Fancier place for steak.
Günters
Simple but really tasty sausage stand. Grab a sausage and go for a walk to Karlbergs Slott.
SNÖ
Gelateria style ice cream in Vasastan. Expect long queues on sunny days, but it’s worth it. They also have a great lunch!
Nightlife
I’m not an expert on Stockholm night life, but these places are a good time. Avoid Stureplan at all costs.
Trädgården
Absolute must-visit club during the summer, best in June.
Slaktkyrkan
More Berlin style club which is outside of the city.
Hornhuset
Good club on Söder, has a rooftop but no open-air style outdoor area unfortunately.
