Stockholm Tourism: Stockholm Travel Guide and Tips | SOTC

Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, should be a must-see destination on every traveller’s bucket list. To the eye, the city is beautiful, featuring picturesque bridges and walkways, unique architecture, leafy trees lining the streets and clear blue skies if you visit during the summertime. With so much to see and do across history, art, music, food and drink, fashion and more, Stockholm tourism truly offers something for everyone.

Geography of Stockholm

Stockholm is located on the eastern coast of Sweden near the country’s largest lake, Lake Mälare. Like other parts of Sweden, the central part of Stockholm is made up of fourteen islands and a large part of the city is made up of canals and other waterways. 

Climate of Stockholm

While most people think of frigid temperatures when they think of Stockholm or Sweden, what they don’t realise is that the climate of the country varies drastically from region to region, and season to season. Spring in Sweden runs from March to May, and as the weather starts to warm up, Stockholm truly comes alive. Summers in Stockholm are beautiful, running from June to August. During this time, the days are longer, and the skies are clearer than rest of the year.

Culture of Stockholm

Stockholm is the symbol of Swedish culture and is full of landmarks that celebrate it. Some of the important ones are the Royal Palace Drottningholm and the Skogskyrkogården – must-see places when it comes to Stockholm tourism. Literature, architecture, museums, historical landmarks, theatres and media are all crucial elements of the city’s culture as well.

Stockholm is one of the most advanced cities in the world. It is also relatively compact, meaning that it is fairly easy to navigate your way through the city and get to where you need to be.
