Things to Do in Stockholm

Stockholm is built across 14 islands connected by over 50 bridges, earning it the nickname 'Venice of the North'.

The Vasa Museum houses a 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 and was recovered almost intact 333 years later.

Stockholm's Old Town (Gamla Stan) is one of Europe's largest and best-preserved medieval city centres, with narrow cobblestone streets dating back to the 1200s.

Sweden's Nobel Prize ceremony and banquet have been held annually in Stockholm City Hall since 1901.

The Stockholm archipelago extends 80 kilometres into the Baltic Sea and contains approximately 30,000 islands and skerries.

Stockholm has more than 100 museums, and entry is free to many of them on certain days of the year.
