Best time to visit Stockholm
Stockholm is beautiful year-round, each season with its own appeal. Winter (November to February) offers the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights and enjoying a magical atmosphere, though days are very short. Spring and autumn are ideal for walks through the Old Town (Gamla Stan) without extreme temperatures. Summer (June to August) gives you practically endless daylight, perfect for exploring Stockholm's 30,000 islands in the archipelago.
Things to do in Stockholm
Explore Gamla Stan, the medieval island with cobbled streets and pastel-coloured buildings. Visit the City Hall (Stadshuset) and climb the tower for panoramic views. Museums abound: the Vasa (17th-century ship), the Abba Museum, and the Nordic Museum. Relax at the Public Baths (Sturebadet) or take a ferry to nearby archipelago islands. Swedish gastronomy blends tradition and modernity: try Swedish meatballs, fresh salmon and local pastries during any fika (coffee break).
