Great places to visit in Stockholm

Kungsholmen

As primarily a residential island, you’ll truly find yourself amongst the locals on Kungsholmen. The island has many lively restaurants, bars and cafés, especially along Hantverkargatan and Fleminggatan. A walk along the tree-lined quay on Norrmälarstrand offers unparalleled views of Södermalm and boats sailing on the lake.

City Hall

Kungsholmen is home to one of the most prominent buildings of the Stockholm skyline, City Hall. The building is unmistakable due to its 106 metre tower and its bright red colour. City Hall is a great example of the Nordic National Romantic style and was inaugurated in June 1923 400 years to the day after Gustav Vasa’s arrival in the city.

Every December the Nobel Banquet is held in the building’s Blue Hall and after dinner there is dancing in the Golden Hall, which is adorned with 18 million gold mosaic tiles. Though City Hall is still used by the Stockholm Municipality, you can take a guided tour through the building. If you get the chance, don’t miss climbing the tower to be awarded with an incredible view.

Stockholm is a city filled with great places to visit. From sights to museums and attractions, there is always something to do or explore. There are places to visit as a solo traveller, places that are fun to visit with family, romantic spots to visit as a couple and places to give you sneak peak at the city if you are on a layover or on a business trip.
