Neighborhoods:

Gamla stan

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Walk around the oldest neighborhood in Stockholm and see the iconic, picturesque view of Gamla Stan! This is also the chance to get souvenirs and gifts, try a cardamom bun, and have some Fika in a cafe. A must-do activity if you’re in Stockholm!

Hornstull

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I spent a good chunk of time in Hornstull exploring and eating as many pastries as I can. It’s filled with cool shops and great restaurants/cafes! If that’s not your thing, you can also sit and enjoy the water or many of the hiking paths.

Liljeholmen

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐️⭐️⭐️ A great place to relax and sit by the water or go for a short hike. This neighborhood has a lot to offer but doesn’t have many shops! We loved going to swim here.

Vaxholm

@worldtourwithnoor

If you have time to venture into the archipelago, I definitely recommend visiting Vaxholm on a nice sunny day and exploring around the island. Make sure to pack a swimsuit if the weather allows since there's many great places to dip into the water or sunbathe!

Parks:

Kungsträdgården

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of my favorite parks in the city!! I would spend some time here doing work, drinking coffee, or just hanging out with my friends. Beautiful flowers and I loved the fountain!

drottningholmsslott

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐⭐⭐ If you have some extra time on your hands, definitely consider visiting the royal palace. It's a little commute from Stockholm but really worth it for a nice walk in the gardens.

Djurgården

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Set right near a bunch of museums, this park is very well maintained and set in a perfect location. Set some time apart when you visit the Vasa or ABBA museum to wander around here.

Humlegården

@worldtourwithnoor

Högalid park

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Personally, one of my favorite parks because of its location and views in the city, but theres nothing particularly special about it. The church was under construction during my stay there, but I heard it's a beautiful visit.

Karlaplan

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐⭐⭐ This park is perfect because of its location in the city. That area of Stockholm is wonderful to just walk around, shop, and eat some food.

Lookout Spots:

Skinnarviksberget

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little steep, short hike to get here but totally worth it. Make sure to bring a jacket because it tends to get windy. A perfect place to watch the sunset. Usually attracts a younger crowd and tends to get crowded in the summer.

Museums:

Moderna Museet

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐⭐⭐ A fun activity to do with friends or if you're really into modern art. There's some really cool exhibits, but also some other exhibits that I wasn't fond of.

Details

The Viking Museum

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐⭐⭐ A well kept museum and a must if want to learn more about the Viking age! There's some amazing artifacts and it's definitely worth the visit if you're interested in history!

Add to

Details

Skansen

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little pricy but worth it especially if you're with kids. Plan to spend at least 2.5 hours here since it's pretty large. Make sure to check out the glass-blowing exhibit!

Nationalmuseum

@worldtourwithnoor

⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really enjoyed this museum and I think there's something for almost everyone here. It's also a beautiful area around the museum so make sure to spend some time walking in that neighborhood.
