1. Stockholm Old Town

4.5 based on 20,321 reviews
The Old Town, unsurprisingly, is the oldest part of Stockholm. It's certainly the tourist's go-to destination, but that doesn’t detract from its architectural and otherwise urban beauty.

Cobble streets, quirky nooks and crannies, good mix of shops bars, cafes and beautiful buildings and museums, we stayed within Gamla Stan and very glad we did, easy access from there to everywhere and lots of museums worth walking to nearby. Definitely worth trying to stay within Gamla Stan area. We stayed in small scandic hotel which was located just at one end of Gamla Stan.

Beautiful park with lots of activities, walkways and woodland. Cafés, restaurants and museums are available if you tire of the wonderful scenery!

The Stockholm City Hall is one of Sweden's most famous buildings, and one of the capital's most visited tourist attractions. It houses offices for 200 people including the Municipal Council, and is also famous for its grand ceremonial halls and unique art pieces. The Stockholm City Hall is the venue of the Nobel Prize banquet held on 10 December each year. Between May and September, the City Hall Tower offers a breathtaking view of Stockholm.

There are two separate tours you can take at Stockholm City Hall (Stadshuset). They have separate entrances and separate prices. The tower tour entrance is on the left when inside the vilify hall courtyard and facing the lake. The city hall tour entrance is on the right. Both tours are worth taking but we enjoyed the tour of the tower the most. There are 365 steps to the tower viewing area. It is a very interesting and enjoyable climb, mostly up ramps that go up in a square shape, through brick walled corridors with triangular brick ceilings, around the perimeter walls of the tower. There are also some stairs and the option of an elevator to take you part of the way up. The 360 degree views from the viewing platform are spectacular. You get fantastic views of Gamla Stan and Riddarholmen. Tours are timed and one group must leave the platform before the next comes up. The main part of city hall is only accessible via paid guided tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and interesting. It is best to avoid Saturdays for tours as some areas are closed for multiple weddings on that day. The highlights are the huge Blue Room (which isn’t blue), the council chambers, the Prince’s Gallery (with beautiful frescoes) and the over-the-top Golden Hall with its elaborate gold mosaics depicting Swedish history.

A very nice part of town. Lots of nice old houses to watch, especially att "Fjällgatan" and around Katarina church. A lot of nice pubs and restaurants. Check out the pub "Oliver Twist", good food and a good range of beers.
6. Ulriksdal Palace
7. Artipelag
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 357 reviews
Artipelag is an international venue for art, good food, events and activities – beautifully set on Varmdo in the Stockholm Archipelago, just 20 minutes from the city centre. The name Artipelag is a combination of Art, Activities, and Archipelago. It says a lot about what we can offer, but it does not tell it all. Our intention has been to create a destination of high international quality – with boundary-crossing art exhibits, inspiring activities, and good food. Getting here is easy; whether by bus, car or boat. There are 350 parking spaces, a pier for passenger boats from Stockholm City, a long guest marina for visiting private boats and public bus service daily.

Artipelag is a new museum that opened some 5-6 years ago on one of the outer islands of the Stockholm archipelago. We booked a day tour with Stromma, and took one of the old ferries which takes roughly 2 hrs and 15 minutes to get to the museum and the same time back. The ferry ride through the archipelago itself is beautiful.The museum itself is a beautiful structure and fully integrated into the nature. It houses regular special (modern art) exhibits. There is also a nature trail, along which a number - I recall 15 or so - of outdoor sculptures are set up. The trail takes roughly an hour to walk - fully recommended. Artipelag also houses a nice café and a good restaurant... if you have a few days in Stockholm, consider making the trip to Artipelag!
