When to visit Stockholm

Best months: May, June, July, August and September.

What to see in Stockholm

1. Gamla Stan
   Gamla Stan sits on the small island where Stockholm began, and its cobbled lanes, ochre facades and medieval squares can be covered on foot in a few hours.
2. Musée Vasa
   The museum houses the Vasa, a 17th-century Swedish warship that sank shortly after setting out in 1628 and was raised in 1961.
3. Skansen
   Skansen gathers farms, houses and workshops from all over Sweden on a hill in Djurgården, so you can walk through the centuries among Nordic animals.
4. Palais royal
   The official residence of the Swedish monarch, this large baroque palace stands over the water at the edge of Gamla stan.
5. Fotografiska
   Set in a former brick customs house on the Södermalm waterfront, Fotografiska shows contemporary photography in plain, quiet galleries away from the bustle of the centre.
6. Djurgården
   This green island, only a short trip from the city centre, combines forest, meadows, waterfront and some of Stockholm's most visited museums.
7. Östermalms Saluhall
   This brick market hall, open since 1888, is still where Stockholm comes to shop and have lunch.
8. Pelikan
   Pelikan has stood in an Art Nouveau building in Södermalm since 1904, and the restaurant's history in the city goes back much further.
