StockholmGuide was updated:
Stockholm is a city of contrasts. Trends in music, design, fashion, and technology are born here. Hip bars and world-class restaurants are shoulder-to-shoulder with historical cafés and cosy neighbourhood pubs. Stockholm is simultaneously urban and close to nature, and water is an ever-present feature in this city where the lake and sea meet. The atmosphere is open, tolerant, and welcoming, and diversity and innovation are highly encouraged. Stockholm is a city for everyone.

Do & See

Big and small. Well-known and unique. Classics like the Vasa Museum and modern newcomers like The ABBA Museum and Fotografiska. In Stockholm, there are more than a hundred attractions to choose from.
Vasa Museum

Vasa Museum

The Vasa Museum is home to Stockholm’s most famous ship, a 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 and was salvaged and painstakingly restored centuries later. As you step into the museum, you are immediately greeted by the awe-inspiring sight of the nearly intact Vasa ship, adorned with intricate carvings and towering masts. The museum provides a fascinating journey into the ship's history, its ill-fated voyage, and the remarkable efforts undertaken to salvage and preserve it.

ABBA The Museum

ABBA The Museum

The ABBA Museum is an immersive exhibition, which takes visitors on a fantastic journey through the rise and global success of the iconic Swedish pop group, offering a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at their music, costumes, and personal lives. Sing and dance along to ABBA's greatest hits in interactive exhibits, step into a replica of the famous Polar Studio, and even experience what it feels like to be the fifth member of the band through virtual reality. The museum also houses a vast collection of memorabilia, including stage outfits, instruments, and original manuscripts.

Stockholm Subway Stations

Stockholm Subway Stations

Riding the subway (or tunnelbana) in Stockholm is truly a unique experience. Since 1950, artists have worked to turn the city's underground system into a massive art installation. Out of the 100 subway stations in Stockholm, over 90 are decorated with sculptures, paintings, mosaics, and cave-like features. The best way to see them is to buy either a 24-hour ticket or a single journey ticket which is valid for 75 minutes. Tickets are available through the SL app, ticket machines and ticket booths at the stations, as well as at the Pressbyråns shops. Another tip is to visit them by the colour of the lines. The most impressive ones are on the blue line. So, get your camera ready, watch out for the commuters, and be prepared to be amazed by the artwork displayed on the walls. Here are our TOP 10 stations not to be missed while in the Swedish capital: 1. Solna Centrum (Blue line) 2. Stadion (Red line) 3. Tekniska Högskolan (Red line) 4. Kungsträdgården (Blue line) 5. T-Centralen (Blue line) 6. Rådhuset (Blue line) 7. Solna Strand (Blue line) 8. Tensta (Blue Line) 9. Mörby Centrum (Red line) 10. Thorildsplan (Green line)
