What to see & do in Stockholm 🇸🇪 Guide linked to Google Maps — no ads, no overhyped places

Gamla Stan, an old town

It’s a small island — go around starting from the main square, Stortorget. The square itself is slightly overrated, but there are tons of lovely places around, just enjoy the walk.

Skansen Museum

An open-air museum where 19th-century buildings were relocated to preserve Sweden’s history, thanks to one ethnologist’s vision and funding.

Go there as early as possible. Remember that the territory is huge, so in theory you can spend the whole day there.

Our top recomendations:
Järnhandeln — hardware store from 1930's
Apoteket — pharmacy from 1790's
Back Mats stuga — cottage from 1870's
Zoo & aquarium

Walking path Monteliusvägen

A short 500-meter (0.3-mile) walk with a great view of Stockholm. You’ll see the Old Town, City Hall, and the waterfront—especially good at sunset!
