We hit a few great restaurants while we were in Stockholm, our craziest experience was at Punk Royale which I would best describe as the anti-establishment version of fine dining. It's loud, unconventional, and a lot of fun with some great food and drinks along the way! Another great place for a drink, a meal, or for Fika is Fotografiska. Check out some great photo exhibits then head to the restaurant or the bistro for some great food and drink. We also hit Freyja + Soder for some fun cocktails and delicious food in a very modern space with great views of Stockholm.
It was great to soak in the beautiful architecture of the city, especially around Gamla Stan. There's a great food scene around Stockholm as well, from the classics to more modern options. The food halls are a great way to sample different options. We had dinner at Lisa Elmqvist in Ostermalms Food Hall and also checked out Hotorgshallen for more international and seafood options.
Exploring the small streets around Gamla Stan and finding small cafes or restaurants can be a great way to feel more insulated from the activity of greater Stockholm.
Gamal Stan was beautiful. Visit Goteburg and watch a play/opera.
Strolling through the city.
Do public parking and not garage.
We enjoyed the sightseeing boat tour
Skansen is a GREAT place for both kids and adults. I saw plenty of people without kids visiting. Next time, will be visiting Junibacken. Also, Sweden pro tip: most taxis have children seats in their taxis!
We lived just getting lost in the old town! There is a candy shop there that makes all their hard candy in store and you can watch it being made! That was a highlight for us!
Walking through the old town and the Vasa Museum!
I was thankful we had our Bob stroller for the cobble stone roads. Get you kids their own camera, like an old iPhone so they can take photos as you go around!
Restaurant Tradition! Amazing traditional Swedish food in a beautiful atmosphere and wonderful neighborhood in Gamla Stan.
Staying and wandering in Gamla Stan, and our visit to Vasa and Skansen was wonderful.
Be flexible!
Gamla Stan!
Get an access card and ride the train/buses everywhere. It's super convenient, safe and cost effective. It also works really well for little children.
If you are vegan / vegetarian or just like good food, you must go to Herman’s for the vegetarian buffet lunch. The views are great too. Masala Masala in Odenplan has a great vegan menu as well as non vegan. The restaurant is very small, so book a table. Love the Vasamuseet and the ABBA Muaeun. Top tip, get a Travelcard and Stockholm Pass.
Go kayaking around Gamla Stan and see the city from the water! And eat! Meatballs from "Meatballs for the People" is highly recommended, as are cinnamon buns from anywhere.
Use your feet and walk! Stockholm is gorgeous and by walking to your destinations, you can really discover each nook and cranny of the city. You never know what gem you will find!
Stockholm is such a beautiful city to visit. Definitely hop on a boat and take a boat out to the archipelago or to drottingholm palace.
Stay the night in Kiruna! It was a winter wonderland.
I love to journal about my trip and record the days events, but it's not always easy to find that "perfect" spot. I was wandering around Gamla Stan, which is certainly an area known for being touristy, when I found Cosy Cafe. Not only did they have a great variety of tempting desserts, there is a little upstairs area that overlooks the cafe. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of hot tea and journal! The Vasa Museum is also not to be missed. It houses an intact and preserved 17th century ship that is a sight to behold. There are various exhibits around the museum that give more insight into the way the ship was constructed, daily life on the ship, etc. With gardens, restaurants and another museum only steps away, you could easily spend all day here. If seafood is what you're looking for, look no further than Sturehof. The food was delicious and despite being a busy place, the waitstaff was very patient in answering all of our questions to make sure each diner got a meal that they would enjoy.
Visited Stockholm in November
We had so much fun with Linda in Gamla Stan, Stockholm! She made it so easy to relax and feel comfortable when she took pictures of us. Top tip: Start a little early to avoid crowds, if going to gorgeous Gamla Stan, as the streets are quite narrow.
Visited Stockholm in October
If you have time visit the Vasa Museum. It's the only one in the whole world!
