The Stockholm City Guides cover the questions visitors bring with them: where locals eat when the days are short, which museums repay the ticket, how to reach the archipelago and the royal palaces on an ordinary travel card and where Södermalm goes after dark. Every guide is a tight, honest list. Each place gets the reason to go, what to order or look out for and one practical tip, and the guide opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Restaurant Pelikan
Södermalm, Blekingegatan
A beer hall dating from 1904, with tall ceilings and white tablecloths, serving honest Swedish home cooking at prices well below the old town. Order the meatballs with mash and share a herring starter. From the food guide.
Monteliusvägen
Södermalm, from Bellmansgatan
A half-kilometre path along the cliff edge with a wide view of City Hall, Gamla Stan and the bay of Riddarfjärden. It costs nothing, never closes and looks best around sunset. From the things to do guide.
Gripsholm Castle
Mariefred, train to Läggesta then bus 303
A red-brick castle from the Vasa era on the edge of the lake, home to a national portrait collection of more than 4,000 paintings. Book the guided tour and come on a cold, bright day. From the day trips guide.
From the game to the guides
World City Trail’s Stockholm scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the old town. When the game is over, the guides take you further: a fika on Södermalm, the evening view from a cliff path, the tram out to the museums of Djurgården or a train to Uppsala for the day.
