What to do and see in Norrmalm, Stockholm County: The Best Things to do

March 8, 2022 Emerita Lamoureux

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 Hallwylska Museet is a free of charge gem to be explored. If you interested in late 19th century interiors, porcelain, weapons or paintings this is the place for a stroll through the history of a remarkable collectors couple. The combinations of furniture, art and decoration is splendid. There is a nice bar in the ground floor. The museum is mainly situated in the 1st and 2nd floor (bedrooms). Great kids room, lockers, gift shop. Plan at least one hour.

The Great Synagogue of Stockholm is simple yet beautiful. It provides good information on the history of the Jewish community in Sweden and Scandinavia, offering a sobering exhibit on World War II.

The Royal Swedish Opera

Reviewed By Flower53_10 - Tbilisi, Georgia

The Royal Swedish Opera is a fantastic building and is definitely worth visiting not only for ballet and opera lovers but also for the architecture lovers. It is as stunning as you can expect from the classical European opera house. We attending the “ Nutcracker “ ballet by Tschaikovsky and the performance was beautiful. The staff at the opera is friendly and there much to discover during the break, the old costumes, beautiful corridors and bars. Well worth visiting many many times.

St Johannes Kyrka

An impressive church, in a raised graveyard that dominates its small corner but, not being on a main road, would otherwise be easy to miss. It’s an unusual orange brick with verdigris roof and details so is visually very striking.

Nationalmuseum is Sweden's museum of art and design. After five years renovation and refurbishment, the museum is open again to the public. Masterpieces from six centuries are displayed in a new light and in harmony with the 150-year-old buildning. More than 5,000 artworks in large and small formats share stories from their times with present-day admirers.

Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquitie

Experience the culture, aesthetics and traditionsof the Mediterranean region – in the middle of Stockholm city.

Reviewed By BillGWB - Gothenburg, Sweden

We spent 2h at Medelhavetsmuseet, enjoying its collection of primarily Cypriot and Egyptian antiquities. The artefacts around Cyprus were really surprising. They come from Swedish archaeology excavations in the early 1930's and the statues were astonishing. The highlight is the recently refreshed Egyptian collection, which was surprisingly well rounded and stocked with artefacts. Of course it's not the Louvre, British museum or MET, but in 5 rooms + a cellar (mummies!) they manage to provide an interesting and attractive exhibition. The mummies in the cellar are the most impressive, and the presentation work, giving the visitor the impression to go down in the burial chamber of a pyramid. Don't miss the café on the 2nd floor for some middle east fares and delicacies. Highly recommended.

Dansmuseet - Rolf de Mare's Museum of Movement

At the heart of Stockholm is Dansmuseet, a museum dedicated to world dance. Apart from the permanent displays, several temporary exhibitions are put on every year. Dance films are always available and live performances. There is a large selection of events and activities to choose from during autumn, winter and spring.

Reviewed By Cynhoff - Brewster, United States

This museum is dedicated to dance and costumes from various cultures. The exhibits are very interesting with music, videos and displays. I only wish I had allowed more time!
