Five Things to Do Near Kungsträdgården

Old Town

Perfect for a peaceful stroll – or simply getting lost for a while

Stockholm’s historic heart is just a few minutes from the hotel. In Gamla Stan, you’ll discover cobblestone streets, narrow alleyways, and colourful facades. Here you’ll find iconic landmarks such as Stortorget and Kungliga slottet.

Stortorget is the oldest square in Stockholm and lies at the very centre of Gamla Stan. It is known for its vibrant atmosphere, historic significance, and distinctive architecture.

A charming corner to visit in summer is Brända Tomten, where you’ll find the cosy café and bar Under Kastanjen.

Stockholm City hall

One of Stockholm’s most iconic buildings

Stockholm City Hall was inaugurated in 1923 and designed by architect Ragnar Östberg in a style that combines Swedish National Romanticism with influences from the Italian Renaissance.

Built in red brick, it is best known for its 106-metre tower topped with the Three Crowns. The building is also famous for the Blue Hall, where the Nobel Prize banquet is held, and the Golden Hall, decorated with stunning mosaics.

Today, City Hall serves both as a political centre and one of Stockholm’s most visited attractions, offering guided tours and panoramic views of the city. It is about a 15-minute walk from the hotel.

Nationalmuseum

The perfect art and design break from the city buzz

Located by the waterfront, less than ten minutes from the hotel, Nationalmuseum offers art and design spanning several centuries.

It is Sweden’s leading museum for art and design, featuring paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and design from the 16th century to the present day. The museum is known for its extensive collections and its beautifully renovated building by the water, opposite the Royal Palace.
