Stockholm City Centre, divided into Kungsholmen, Södermalm, Norrmalm, and Östermalm boroughs, offers a diverse urban experience in Sweden's capital. Explore each area for a unique vibe and attractions.

Enjoy the popular shops in Norrmalm. Drottninggatan is a worthwhile stop, and you can jump on the metro at Hotorget T-Bana or Sergels Torg Tram Stop to see more of Stockholm.

Gamla Stan
Medieval alleyways, cobbled streets, and North German-influenced architecture define this historic area, home to notable landmarks like Stockholm Palace and the Nobel Museum. Dine at Den gyldene freden, one of the world's oldest restaurants, and discover the tiny "Järnpojken" statue.

Östermalm
Central Stockholm's Östermalm boasts the country's highest housing prices and is home to attractions like the Royal Dramatic Theatre and Maritime Museum. Easily accessible via metro lines 13, 14, and suburban railway 27, 28, 29.

Vasastan
Central Stockholm's Vasastan district boasts major parks like Vasaparken and Observatorielunden, and stunning architecture, from Neo-Renaissance residential buildings to Art Nouveau structures in Birkastaden. Explore the calm Atlas Area, contrasting with its bustling surroundings, and enjoy the hilly Röda bergen area.

Hammarby Sjöstad
The museums and cafes make Hammarby Sjöstad worth a stop. Make a stop by Hammarbybacken Ski Area, and jump on the metro at Sickla Udde Tram Stop to get around the area.
