Welcome
- Imagine 14 islands surrounding a medieval city that is almost entirely preserved… Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is a haven of natural beauty and city of art and culture.
- Board a ship and make your way to the place often known as the “Venice of the North”.
- You can lose yourself entirely admiring the Vasa, the only remaining full-scale, original 17th century vessel in the world… Otherwise, bring the little ones to the Junibacken museum dedicated to Swedish children’s literature, or stroll around Skansen, the oldest open-air museum in the world… -
See, visit, discover…
From the tower of the town hall, with its three gilded crowns (the Swedish national emblem), one can enjoy a panoramic view of the cityscape.
Take to the streets of Gamla Stan, the old-town, to get a feel for local history. Stop by the cathedral and the Stockholms Slott (“Royal Palace”) to visit the nearby museums.
European and Scandinavian art will have no secrets for you after your visit to the Car Milles Museum, the Moderna Museet (Modern Art Museum) and the Nationalmuseum (Fine-Arts). -
Tips from Accorhotels.com
- When to go?
The long sunny days in June and July are great for visiting this beautiful city. But if you are truly charmed by the muted, magical atmosphere of wintry nights, then come for Christmas celebrations.
- How to get around?
The metro system is efficient, and taxis are available (though expensive). The best deal you will find is a bicycle rental system, as cycling is the perfect transportation solution for a city such as this one.
- Good deals
Buy a Stockholm Card as this gives you right of passage in 75 different museums and attractions throughout the city, but also in the public transport network, and you are even allowed a guided tour during summer.
