What to see in Stockholm

Stockholm Attractions


The city of Stockholm has a vast selection of attractions to offer visitors. During summer there are extensive hours of daylight for sightseeing outdoors, and on winter days there are plenty of museums and galleries to visit. Popular sightseeing attractions include the Royal Palace, the Skansen open-air museum and the distinctive City Hall (Stadshuset), while an excursion to any of the 24,000 archipelago islets is also worthwhile. Djurgården Island has a number of museums and galleries to explore, and the Museum of National Antiquities is another interesting Stockholm attraction.
