About ULTIMATE Stockholm City Guide

ULTIMATE Stockholm City Guide is an independent guide for visitors to Stockholm, Sweden.

We cover Gamla Stan and Riddarholmen, Norrmalm and the city with Blasieholmen and Skeppsholmen, Östermalm, Södermalm, Djurgården, Kungsholmen, Vasastan, and Hammarby Sjöstad with Norra Djurgårdsstaden, with day trips to the archipelago, Drottningholm, Uppsala, Sigtuna and Gripsholm.

Our editor

Jai Michael is Editor-in-Chief of the ULTIMATE City Guides. With more than 25 years in the media industry, he founded ABSOLUTE brighton and London TV, and has worked with leading luxury brands around the world.

How we choose

Every place in our lists has been checked against its own website or an official source such as the Royal Court, the City of Stockholm, Visit Stockholm, Visit Sweden, SL, Swedavia, Waxholmsbolaget, Lantmäteriet, the EU’s travel site or The MICHELIN Guide. MICHELIN stars are quoted only from the 2026 MICHELIN Guide. We use no ratings, and we leave out anything we can’t confirm.

Before you go

Opening hours, seasons and timetables change often. Please check directly with each place, and with official sources, before you travel. Prices are in Swedish kronor (SEK).
