Stockholm Tours & Travel Guide
There are many things to see and do in Stockholm, a bustling and gorgeous city. For art lovers and museum goers, there are numerous unique locations to engage your intellect (see the museum section below). For active adventurers, a biking or walking tour of the city is an excellent way to understand its character and charm.
For foodies, enjoy Swedish delicacies and beverages, as you wander the main squares and districts. Don’t forget the canal tours and boat tours that you can take as well. The most popular attractions in Stockholm include: the Royal Palace, Gamla Stan (old town), Djurgarden island (beautiful parks and walks), Stockholm city hall, Ostermalm (chic neighborhood) and many excellent museums.
Souvenirs are always a fun way to share your experience with others and to revel in your trip after you return home. Stockholm has a lot of local treasures that you can take with you including salted liquorice, wooden utensils such as a Swedish butter knife, lingonberry preserves, Swedish gummy candies, Swedish interior design or philosophy books and visuals of incorporating greenery into every living space. As always, your trip will reveal what is most interesting to you to bring home as a souvenir.
Stockholm has many distinct and wonderful museums to explore. Ranging from historical to artistic to cultural, you are sure to learn more about Sweden from attending one or many of these museums. Some of the great museums include: Skansen the open-air museum on Djurgarden island, Fotografiska museum showcasing excellent photography, the ABBA museum that pays homage to this well-known band, the Vasa museum that takes you aboard the Vasa battleship and the Moderna Museet which hosts famous 20th century and modern visual artists.
There are plenty of day trips to take from Stockholm that are well-worth the visit. Whether you’d like to see some of the beautiful countryside Sweden has to offer, or some special towns, it is worth venturing outside of the city.
A very popular day trip is to Drottningholm Palace to tour the grounds and get a sense of royalty of past and present Sweden. Sigtuna is also a short trip from Stockholm and allows you to step into medieval times. Natural spaces near Stockholm include Djurgarden island, Tyresta National Park and further on Angso National Park.
During the Christmas season, many travelers delight in attending the festive Christmas markets in Stockholm and surrounding areas. These markets have homemade handicrafts, seasonal treats and delicacies, cheer and of course Santa for the kids.
Some popular Christmas markets are the Gamla Stan (old town) Christmas market, the Skansen Christmas market and the Drottningholm Palace market. All of the markets have beautiful environments and some have been running for over 100 years!
