Additional details

Where is Stockholm?

Stockholm is located on Sweden’s east coast, where the freshwater Lake Malaren meets the Baltic Sea. It is a unique city in that it is made up of various islands also called the Stockholm Archipelago. More than ⅓ of the city is comprised of waterways and ⅓ is made up of parks and green spaces. Nature lovers and urbanites will be delighted with a visit to Stockholm.

Traveling from Stockholm to Copenhagen

There are numerous ways to travel between Stockholm and Copenhagen, as many travelers choose to combine these two cities on a trip. There are direct trains that take roughly 5.5 hours from Stockholm central station to København H Train Station.

Alternatively, you can take a direct flight in about 1.5 hours or take a rental car road trip for about 7.5 hours to make stops along the way. Finally, you can take a local bus for a cheaper option, which will take about 10 or more hours.

Tips for touring Stockholm

Scandinavia as a whole, including Stockholm, can be a rather expensive travel location but there are ways to visit on a budget including eating at lunch buffets and avoiding big restaurants, purchasing the Stockholm card (access to public transportation and free entrance to most museums and canal tours) bringing and refilling your water bottle and drinking beer instead of more costly alcoholic beverages.

Sightseeing in Stockholm hosts a large variety of activities and sights, as such one could easily enjoy multiple days in Stockholm. If you’re on a timeframe, it is possible to get a taste for the major sights within 1-2 days, as long as you plan ahead on what you don’t want to miss.

Do most Sweden tours include Stockholm?

Yes, the majority of Sweden tours and Scandinavia tours include a visit in Stockholm, as it is the major international airport and a cultural gem. Depending on the tour, the length of stay and guided activities in Stockholm could differ. Some tours in the northern part of Sweden meet visit smaller cities in the north and do not include a visit to Stockholm.
