Netnod’s Guide to Stockholm

Welcome to Stockholm! Whether it’s your first time here or you’re back for more, we’ve put together some highlights, local tips, and “musts” to make the most of your stay.

 

What to See

  • Gamla Stan (Old Town) – cobblestone streets, colorful houses, cozy cafes.
  • Monteliusvägen – best view of Stockholm, perfect for nerdy selfies 📸.
  • Östermalms Saluhall – historic food hall (try the seafood).
  • SoFo (Nytorget + streets around it) – hip shops, cafes, record stores.
  • Djurgården walk – nature in the middle of the city.
  • Rosendals Trädgård – green oasis for fika & sustainability vibes.
  • ABBA Museum – because who doesn’t secretly love ABBA? 🎶
  • Skansen – world’s oldest open-air museum with Swedish history & animals.
  • Space Stockholm – gaming, esports & digital culture hub.
  • Archipelago trip – if you have time, take a short ferry ride to Fjäderholmarna.

Museums to Visit

  • Nationalmuseum – classic art.
  • Vasamuseet – 1600s warship, surprisingly nerdy.
  • Moderna Museet – modern art.
  • Nobel Prize Museum – science meets inspiration.
  • Fotografiska – world-class photography.
  • ABBA Museum – yes, we listed it twice because it’s that fun.

Where to Drink Beer

Sweden has a strong craft beer culture. Some classics:

  • Oliver Twist
  • Omnipollos Hatt
  • Akkurat (legendary beer bar)
  • Omaka
  • Zum Franziskaner (old-school pub)
  • Lådan
  • Pub Anchor (metal vibes)

Where to Eat Swedish Meatballs or a Toast Skagen

  • Prinsen
  • Pelikan
  • Tennstopet
  • Wärdshuset Ulla Winbladh
  • Sturehof

Where to Eat the Best Cinnamon Bun (A Must!)

  • Lillebrors
  • Stora Bageriet
  • Ett Bageri
  • Socker Sucker
  • Svedjan

(Pro tip: pair with coffee for the ultimate Swedish fika).

Extra Nerdy/Local Tips

  • Fika every day – it’s practically mandatory.
  • Cashless city – card/mobile pay everywhere.
  • Systembolaget – want wine or strong beer? You’ll need to visit Sweden’s state-run liquor store.


Transportation

Public transportation - just tap your credit card and travel for 75 minutes even if you change transportation for just SEK 43 <https://sl.se/en/fares-and-tickets/contactless-pay-as-you-go/how-to-pay-as-you-go>

Taxi:

To avoid overpriced rides, stick with:
✔️ Uber / Bolt
✔️ Taxi Stockholm – 08-15 00 00
✔️ Sverige Taxi – 020-202020
✔️ Taxi Kurir – 08-300000
✔️ Taxi 08 – 08-57151557

Avoid “free” taxis outside Central Station – they’ll charge triple.

Enjoy Stockholm – and don’t forget to tag us if you share your fika & view pics!
