Frequently asked questions
What is the number one thing to do in Stockholm?
ABBA The Museum is the crowd-pleasing first stop, but Skansen, an archipelago cruise, and a Gamla Stan walking tour round out the essential Stockholm experience. This list ranks them all by traveller reviews.
How many days do you need in Stockholm?
Two days covers the highlights — Gamla Stan and the Djurgården museums; a third lets you add a full day on the water in the archipelago. See our 2- and 3-day Stockholm itineraries.
Is Stockholm expensive for tourists?
It's one of Europe's pricier capitals, but a Go City or Essentials pass bundles the top attractions for less than buying each ticket separately, and many sights cluster on one walkable island.
