The capital city of Sweden combines modern attractions with historic charm. Kick off your stay with visits to Stockholm’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Royal Palace Drottningholm (the residence of the royal family) and the magical Skogskyrkogården, or Woodland Cemetery. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Town and over the picturesque bridges that span the city’s canals. The 19th-century Skansen was the world’s first open-air museum and is still a premier place to learn about Swedish history.

The Unesco World Heritage Skogskyrkogården is beautiful all year round, much due to the unique way it is woven into the landscape. The cemetery never closes, so you can easily acces the World Heritage when you prefer, throughout the year. More than 2,000 funeral ceremonies take place at the Skogskyrkogården each year. This means that the five chapels are in frequent use and therefore closed to the public. If you are interested in the chapels and their interiors, come along for a public guided tour or book a private tour. We also have audio and visitor's guides, which you can download prior to your visit. Please visit our website for more information.
I enjoyed wandering around the cemetery on Christmas Day with unfortunately all chapels closed (Lewerentz, Asplund). The landscaping is remarkable and the attention to detail. The new crematory all in brick is another architectural highlight. The places are easily accessible from the Tunnelbana station named after the cemetery grounds.

A trip to the top of the Globe is a must. There are great views from up there and the journey in the gondola is amazing

This touristy trip will give you a good view of the city. It’s a little on the pricier side, but you can stop for a coffee near the top to enjoy the view.
Globen Skyview Stockholm was just next to the stadium Tele2 Arena where soccer matches take place.. The place was easily accessible as we took the local train service.. although we had to ask around for directions to ensure we took the correct train, we managed well and the Swedish are very helpful. The Skyview offers a 360 degree view of Stockholm so you get to see almost the entire city, I think.. even if you have a fear if heights, you can sit down as they have seats inside the ‘cable car’.. It was a very different experience..
