A Natural Beauty
Modern Stockholm is uniquely made up of 30% waterways and another 30% of parks and green spaces. It’s spread across 14 islands and is both one of the world’s cleanest and most charming capitals.
Stockholm’s famously huge number of museums includes the Naturhistoriska riksmuseet, the Moderna Museet and the Spritmuseum. City Hall hosts the famous Nobel Prize banquet and the Vasamuseet hosts the 300 year old Vasa warship.
The city’s past can be felt in Gamla Stan – Stockholm’s stunning Old Town with medieval layout, cobblestone streets and the Baroque-style Royal Palace. Designer Swedish clothes and interior decorations abound in the many unique stores throughout the city.
For a day away, ferries reveal the stunning Stockholm archipelago, a group of thousands of islands and rocks where you can enjoy hiking, outdoor swimming and fishing.
Whether you fly to Arlanda, Bromma, Skavsta or Västerås Airports, the city center can be reached by either train or airport coach. Booking.com offers a wide choice of accommodations for your Stockholm holiday, from modern hotels, to unique motels and affordable hostels.

Beautiful city with great views in every direction.
Beautiful city with great views in every direction. Plenty of food options from Swedish food carts to Middle Eastern restaurants. Mass transit is ubiquitous and inexpensive with "pass" cards, and can include boats along with buses and the metro. Although we stayed south of the older area of the city, we only had to walk twenty minutes to be in the heart of Stockholm.
Museums, artistic and historical, abound. They are less expensive with a "Stockholm Pass" too. We went to several within just three days thanks to their being close by to our hotel in Sodermalm.
If there is anything we would avoid next time we travel to Stockholm, it would be a short stay. There's too much to do in just three days and four nights!
PS Bring warm clothing! It was plenty brisk mid-May.

There is so much to see here, don't cut yourself short on time!! Public transport was easy to use. Vasa Museum and Skansen are must see and don't miss the quirky Biological Museum just outside the gates of Skansen.

be very careful of the Stockholm pass as compared to the Stockholm City Pass. They are NOT the same and we paid a lot of money for the incorrect one because of a misunderstanding. Otherwise the city is easy, beautiful and full of lovely people. There are two vegetarian heavy restaurants in Central Stockholm....one is Lebanese (Underbar) and the other is Indian. Both were excellent. Otherwise, vegetarian wasn't always easy to find.

We stayed at the Pensionat Odengaten 38 and fell in love with our accommodation. It was just right for us; conveniently located, charming old-fashioned, and we were treated like family. We ate breakfast in the kitchen and the proprietors really went out of their way for us. Our walk throughout the Old Town was fabulous and we plan to stay much longer next time to take in the historical sites--eat more, take the cruise; etc. It's a must-see destination.

Other than being injured on the hop on hop off bus when the driver announced the next stop and several of us got up at which point the driver slammed on the brakes and I went flying hitting my hip on a metal bar, the trip was great.
Someone downstairs was also injured.

Changing of the guard was very impressive.
Changing of the guard was very impressive.
Weather was cold with snow and sleet in May! Missed a canal tour due to weather.
Carl Milles art museum/sculpture park was wonderful!
Pitchers Restaurant was a favorite.
We walked a lot. City maps were good.
Open bus tour was good.
Loved the Nordic Museum...special exhibit on light but much more.
“We had a superior room with a view of the city hall and the Gamla Stan. Hotel was very quiet. Beds were firm and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Location is absolutely perfect, particularly for those arriving/departing by train or by the airport express.”
“The location is the best part of this hotel. Located in the heart of Gamla Stan, it has easy access to the other islands. Also, I appreciated the email from the staff giving explicit, clear directions for how to find the location.”
“Great location, great price and really perfect for visiting Stockholm. Located on a trolley line that runs every 10 minutes, you can be in Old Town in Minutes and anywhere else in Stockholm in around 10-20 minutes. Breakfast was good, room and hotel very clean. Restaurant and bar next door along with a grocery store. Great place!!”
“I stayded in 3 different hostels in Stockholm and this one was the best!! My room had 14 beds and was still nice and comfy, bathrooms and kitchen were always clean. I did some research comparing prices and this one has slightly higher or same prices than the rest of hostels, I would pay for this hostel again even I find a cheapest hostel in the area. I just feel good staying here!
If you wanna visit Gamla Stan (old town) you can go by walking from the hostel, I did that all the time and I didn't have to pay for public transport”
“The hotel ship has a unique and very comfortable atmosphere. The location next to Gamla Stan is superb. A subway station is 200 m away. A walk to central Stockholm is about 15 minutes. Very friendly staff.”
