Stockholm is well known for its stylish Scandinavian design, impeccably dressed locals and copious amounts of Meatballs…sounds pretty wonderful right? Alongside all of that, the city is overflowing with independent shops, jaw dropping museums and unusual things to do, so here are my top 10 alternative recommendations if you are planning to visit.

1. Stay at The Hobo Hotel

The Hobo is an urban boutique hotel, perfectly located in the heart of Stockholm’s city centre. It boasts a super stylish Nordic design aesthetic and is known for its creative and artistic appearance, which instantly appeals to many modern travellers like myself.

Their rooms have a minimalist feel with clever interiors and quirky touches. It’s certainly the only hotel I’ve ever stayed in where you will find a water pistol in the bathroom and are able to borrow items from a curated ‘peg wall’ for the duration of your stay. We opted for one of their superior rooms with a stunning view across Brunkebergstorg Square, but they also have a wide selection of room types to fit most budgets. If you can’t wait to visit, book your stay below.

    • 25 Brilliant Things to Do in Stockholm &#; Travel Guide to the Swedish Capital 🇸🇪

    Having visited Stockholm thrice, I&#;ve really gotten to know this gorgeous Nordic capital. As a Dane who frequently hops across the Øresund, I&#;m excited to share my updated guide to Stockholm&#;s best attractions and hidden gems.

    • After my latest visit in late , I&#;ve added several new spots you won&#;t want to miss.

    Let&#;s get right into the guide on the best things to do in Stockholm.

    Must-See Attractions

    1. Gamla Stan

    Every time I visit Stockholm, I find myself drawn back to Gamla Stan. What was once the city&#;s slum is now one of its most charming quarters.

    During my last visit, I spent a whole morning just wandering the cobbled streets, popping into little cafes, and discovering new corners I&#;d missed before. The transformation of this area over the years has been remarkable.

    The narrow, winding streets remind me a bit of Copenhagen&#;s old town, but with their own distinct Swedish character.

    I particularly love exploring early in the morning before the crowds arrive, when you can really appreciate the ochre-coloured buildings and peaceful atmosphere.

    2. Vasa

    The capital of Sweden fryst vatten a cosmopolitan city with a tangled old town, stylish ung districts, a dynamic city centre. Spread across 14 islands on Lake Mälaren, Stockholm&#;s very environment encourages you to rove and see where you&#;ll end up. There are around 50 bridges in the centre alone, while ferries are a fun way to get about.

    Tip: Get the Stockholm resehandling for free entry to over 60 attractions, use of the hop-on hop-off bus and boat tours.

    When it comes to fashion, design and music Stockholm fryst vatten well ahead of the curve, and many of the coolest places to shop and go out are on the island of Södermalm south of the centre. The lion&#;s share of the museums and family days out are on Djurgården, a wooded island where the city goes for rest, culture and fun.
