What opportunities does Stockholm offer?

Stockholm is the largest city in Scandinavia, as well as the capital of Sweden. Here you will find the largest railway station in Sweden, the "Stockholms centralstation" and the Swedish Olympic Stadium. In addition, Swedish capital is the seat of parliament and government, as well as the cultural and economic center of the country. In addition, the city is spread over a total of 14 islands, which are connected by 53 bridges, hence the name "Venice of the North".

Sightseeings, Art & Culture

Stockholm has a wide range of great sights, as well as art and culture to offer. Here you will find everything from museums, to magnificent castles, to small galleries and personal artists' homes.

One of the most important sights is the Swedish Palace, which is still one of the most important baroque buildings in Europe. This is because Sweden is a constitutional monarchy (meaning the king and his family represent the country, without political power). The palace serves as a workplace for the royal family and as a place for official receptions and audiences. Despite this, it is open to the public and is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions.

The National Museum also displays an impressive art collection of sculptures, paintings and design from the last four centuries. The museum is located opposite the Royal Palace and is well worth a visit in itself.

In addition, there is the universally known Vasa Museum, which is considered to be the most visited museum in Scandinavia. This displays the warship Vasa, which is the best preserved ship in the world from the 17th century.

Another popular destination is Millesgarden on the island of Lidingö, about 30 minutes from downtown Stockholm. Here there's a great gallery, studio, sculpture park and winding garden, plus a cosy café to explore.

There are also a few places worth seeing in Stockholm's inner city area.

Additionally, there is the oldtown called "Gamla Stan" that is located on the island Stadsholm. This part was for a long time the real Stockholm and is characterized by yellow houses and narrow cobblestone alleyways. Here you will find among others the Nikolai Church (Storkyrkan), the German Church (Tyska Kyrkan) and the Stockholm Castle.

Also in terms of design, Stockholm is at the forefront. Accordingly, you will find countless galleries and designer shops in the city. These are mainly located in Södermalm, in Östermalm, in the city centre and in the old town.

Nature

In Stockholm the way into the green or into the blue is never far.

Sweden's largest archipelago, the Stockholm Scissors Garden, is a good place for this. These are easy to reach by ferry, which departs from Stockholm city centre. Here you'll find colorful wooden houses, lilac bushes, a bustling harbor, a historic fortress, and plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafes.

Another great side trip into nature is the island of Djurgården. This is the first national city park in the world. Around the island, there is a walking and cycling path along the water, which is always very popular with all guests.

In the north of Stockholm, at the lake Brunnsviken, there is the botanical garden "Bergianska Trädgården". This is a beautifully laid out, extensive garden with a large collection of all kinds of plants. A special feature is the Japanese pond and the Italian terrace.

What should be considered when looking for an event venue in Stockholm?

The city of Stockholm used to consist only of the old town, the Gamla Stan. But nowadays, the city extends over 14 islands that are connected by more than 50 bridges. This means that one third of Stockholm is water, another third is green areas and parks and the last third is built-up area.
