Start your journey in Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s historic old town located on one of the city’s smaller islands. Wander its cobblestone streets, lined with pastel-coloured buildings, bustling cafés and quaint boutiques. You can’t miss Storkyrkan (The Great Church) or the iconic Stortorget square – famed for its colourful facades. Enjoy a couple of hours exploring the area, or book one of the city’s guided walking tours to bring the area’s medieval history to life.  

Art enthusiasts will love Moderna Museet, home to a remarkable collection of modern and contemporary art including works by Picasso and Dali. The museum is situated on Skeppsholmen, an island with breathtaking views of the city.  

This stunning museum houses the Vasa, a 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage and was salvaged nearly intact in 1961. Interactive exhibits and fascinating stories of maritime life make it one of Stockholm’s most visited attractions. We recommend booking your ticket in advance to avoid the crowds.

For a touch of Swedish pop royalty, enjoy an immersive experience at ABBA The Museum. Here, you can explore iconic costumes and memorabilia, sing along to ABBA classics in the virtual recording booth – and even dance with holograms. Even if you’re not an ABBA superfan, the museum offers a unique insight into Sweden’s music history.  

This cutting-edge photography museum showcases thought-provoking exhibitions from renowned photographers across the world. It’s well worth a visit, even if just to enjoy panoramic city views and delicious food in the top-floor café.  

Combine your cultural adventures with a stay at an equally iconic hotel, such as the Grand Hotel Stockholm or Ett Hem Stockholm. Of course, you can explore all of our luxury hotels  at ASMALLWORLD Collection, where you will receive VIP benefits such as a room upgrade, hotel credit and more at zero cost!
