This guide is a sum-up of my stay in Stockholm for the last 5 years. It is divided between things to see, where to eat, and where to stay. These are all the places I love to share with my Italian friends and family who come to visit. 🤩 Like every Scandinavian city, the weather can be very mutable, so be sure to dress accordingly with many layers that can be taken off if needed. And always remember: There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes 😄 I have added a section of places I love that are subjected to seasonal openings, I specify it in the guide 😉 There could be many many other places worth of being included, but these are my faves :D

Pack a ton into a long weekend in Stockholm, Sweden with this ambitious itinerary. Of the 5 days, the arrival and departure days are slow-paced; the 3 days in the middle are based on days starting at 9 AM, getting in 20k+ steps/day*, and ending around 11 PM/midnight. *This itinerary also relies on 2-wheel transport. We used scooters, but bikes are available, too. This itinerary follows a logical and efficient order for each day, and covers the following: - 5 Museums: Fotografiska, Vasa, Skansen, ABBA, Avicii - 3 Viewpoints - Archipelago Boat Experience - Neighborhoods: Gamla Stan, Sodermalm, Djurgarden island, and some Ostermalm & Norrmalm spots. - Food & Drink: Swedish cinnamon buns, Swedish meatballs, a local food market, a speakeasy, and a Viking beer hall; food & coffee suggestions throughout - ~10 Atlas Obscura finds (unique & unusual things) You will also find: - A few basic points about Sweden and Swedish culture (i.e. tap water, tipping expectations) - Accommodations: Our hotel + 3 others fitting different budgets - General Itinerary Plan (high-level view) - Additional activity and restaurant suggestions, in case you want to swap out some of the activities/restaurants we went to - Trip Cost Breakdown
