Hello - my name is Jessica and welcome to Sweden - Välkommen! I am so happy you have chosen to travel to my home city 'Stockholm'. Even if you are only here for a short while - I would like to introduce you to our Swedish culture and traditions whilst showing you some unique parts of Stockholm and its surroundings, places that are off the beaten track as well as all the must sees! If you wish to go in-depth about life in Sweden then I have written a book under the title "Stockholm, Sweden - At Your Fingertips" and it can be found on Amazon. I have lived abroad half of my life - in Kenya, Israel, Greece etc. and what a fantastic world this is! Now I would like to share with you "my world" here in Sweden. I would love to show you the sights and sounds of Stockholm. If you have already been here before, why not let me show you the tranquil suburb of Lidingö - away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Maybe a hike through one of our nature reserves, visit a farm from the 18th century and for the hardy, maybe a dip in the lake. When I am not out guiding or with my family, I work with expats, newcomers and diplomats introducing them to our Swedish culture, ways and traditions - helping them feel at home here in Sweden. I would like to show you Sweden at its best, so you can get the most out of your visit here in Stockholm. Join me for a very Swedish experience! I look forward to welcoming you to Stockholm and its surroundings!

16 fun, easy day trips from Stockholm

There are enough centrally located sights and activities in Stockholm to keep you occupied for a week or more. Sometimes, however, you just want to leave the big city behind and get a quick taste of the ‘real’ Sweden.

These day trips from Stockholm are all easily achievable with public transport – leave early in the morning and you’ll be back downtown in time for dinner.

Organised day trips from Stockholm

All the places we recommend here can be reached by public transport, but sometimes it’s easier quicker and more fun to go on a guided tour – especially if you’re a solo traveller.

So, here are some of our favourite organised day trips from Stockholm.

We love this tour of Viking culture history and sites round Stockholm, which takes in a Viking and iron age grave field, a Viking bridge and Sigtuna (see below), Sweden’s oldest city, founded in Viking times.

One of the best way to explore Drottingholm is on a guided tour with a knowledgeable guide who can give you all the inside gem on the palace and its royal residents.

This tour includes the boat trip, admission fees with skip-the-line entry, lunch and a Blue Badge guide.

And if you want to escape the city, we suggest this tranquil day hike in the woods and pine forests around Stockholm. You’ll hike to the top of rocky plateau to admire the views and cook lunch on a campfire. 

Since Stockholm is all about the water, this kayaking trip through the archipelago is our top choice.

You’ll paddle round the pretty islands and waterways, stop at a beach to cook an organic lunch on a campfire, maybe even brave a quick dip in the Baltic, then have a fika stop on the way home.

One of the oldest cities in Sweden and with a university that’s been around for more than 530 years, Uppsala is just 40 minutes from Stockholm by train.

On a day trip from the capital you’ll have time to check out Domkyrkan – the biggest cathedral in all of Scandinavia – and the university’s splendid Carolina Rediviva Library, which is stacked wall to wall with books.

Another reason for visiting Uppsala is to take a peek around its castle, which played a crucial role in Swedish history and is now home to three museums.

Getting there

Regional trains depart from Stockholm’s central station, taking around 40 minutes to reach Uppsala (the station is in the centre of town). See our main Stockholm guide for more information on taking the train .

Or an easier option is this day-trip from Stockholm that includes a guided walking tour of Uppsala.

2 Skogskyrkogården

Okay, so this one isn’t exactly far from Stockholm’s city centre, but it still makes an excellent half-day trip.

Skogskyrkogården (the woodland cemetery) is a World Heritage Site – impressive considering that, having been founded in the early 1900s, it’s far younger than most other places recognised by Unesco.

Why should you go? To walk among the huge pine trees, interspersed with row after row of low headstones, and to see the architectural beauty of a place that was designed to help mourners at a difficult time of their lives (processional routes around the vast park were specially designed to evoke feelings of hope and reconciliation).

More prosaically, Skogskyrkogården is the final resting place of the actress Greta Garbo – if you want to see her grave, it’s at plot 12A.

From Gamla Stan in the centre of Stockholm, take the green tunnelbana (subway) line towards Farsta Strand and get off at Skogskyrkogården.

The journey takes around 15 minutes, and the park’s main entrance is just around the corner from the subway station.

3 Nacka Nature Reserve

The Nacka Nature Reserve is a beautiful place for a walk, a swim or a picnic in beautiful woods and lovely lakes.

You can hike through woods and valleys, over hills and granite cliffs and along sandy lake shores. And look out for wildlife, including beavers, moose, deer and foxes.

We think the way to see the best of the park is on a tour. The tour has an expert guide, who’ll come to the park with you on a local bus, take you to the best spots and also cook you a tasty organic lunch on a campfire.

If you want to travel independently, you can get to Kärrtorp on the T-bana from Slussen in 20 minutes. From there it’s a 30-minute walk into the park.

★ SUGGESTED DISCOUNT

Save with the stockholm pass.

Get up to 50% off at Stockholm's top attractions, including the Vasa Museum, SkyView Stockholm and The Viking Museum, plus discounts on some of the city's best boat trips.

Although plenty of tourists fly to Västerås (cleverly, the airport is branded as Stockholm Västerås), few stick around to see the sights.

However, this small-ish city around 100km northwest of the Swedish capital is a pretty place to explore, with higgledy-piggledy cottages edging the river that runs through its centre.

We think it’s one of the best side trips from Stockholm.

In summertime, the beaches that skirt Lake Mälaren are perfect for a dip. Johannisberg, around 6km southwest of the city centre, is one of the easiest spots to reach.

Otherwise you might fancy making the trip to Anundshög , Sweden’s biggest burial mound.

Some nine metres high, it dates back to around 900 AD. Around the site you can also see a collection of standing stones arranged – in ancient Scandinavian style – to resemble ships.

If you decide to spend the night in Västerås there are a couple of interesting places to stay, including the STF Sala Silvergruva hostel , in a a traditional old wooden building that was originally built as housing for workers from the local silver mine.

Frequent trains (roughly every half an hour) connect Stockholm’s main train station with Västerås. The journey takes around an hour.

5 Boda Borg, Oxelösund

For a completely different kind of day tour, head for Boda Borg in Oxelösund, around two hours from central Stockholm.

At this fun activity centre visitors try to solve a series of mental and physical challenges (if you’ve ever seen The Crystal Maze, you’ll know what we mean).

The tasks, which include trying to escape from a fake prison cell, are completed in small teams of three to five people, calling for plenty of teamwork and a bit of lateral thinking.

Boda Borg is around 120km southwest of Stockholm. Note that you should reserve a place – don’t just turn up.

The easiest option is to drive, but it is possible to get there and back in a day using public transport.

Take the Flixbus service from City Terminalen in Stockholm to Nyköping’s bus station (1 hour, 25 minutes), and then change to bus 715 for the final, 20-minute journey to Oxelösund. Get off at Oxelögatan; Boda Borg is a short walk to the east.

Nyköping might seem like an odd place to visit on a day trip from Stockholm, but if you’re flying home from nearby Stockholm Skavsta (it’s just ten minutes away from Nyköping by road) then it’s worth having a look around the city.

Chief among Nyköping’s sights is the medieval castle known as Nyköpingshus, which now houses museum exhibits.

If you’re here during summer, we’d suggest making the trip out to the city’s guest harbour – it’s a popular stopping-off point for wealthy Swedes on yachting holidays, and has boats and bikes available for rent.

Hourly train services run from Stockholm’s central station, taking an hour to reach Nyköping, or take the  Flixbus  (see above).

Arriving into Stockholm Skavsta Airport? Jump on LänsTrafiken bus 515 just outside the terminal – the journey to Nyköping takes 15 minutes.

7 Tyresta National Park

Go trekking in the Tyresta National Park, a wooded wilderness reserve just 15 miles from the centre of Stockholm.

Trails of various lengths wind through the ancient woodland past rugged rocks and large lakes, dotted with sandy beaches.

Hiking, kayaking, camping and, in winter, ice-skating on the frozen lake are all popular activities here – or just enjoy the peace and quiet and reconnect with nature.

We love this sunset hike in the park , that includes an experienced guide who can help you spot the wildlife that lives in the park, and a picnic supper in the forest.

To get to the main entrance at Tyresta village on public transport, take buses #807 or #809 from Gullmarsplan T-bahn station in the south of the city.

8 Tom Tits Experiment

If you’re travelling with kids and fancy leaving the city behind, but would still rather avoid a long trip away from Stockholm, consider visiting  Tom Tits Experiment (entrance fee included in the Stockholm Pass ). 

Around 30km southwest of Stockholm in Södertälje, this strangely named complex is full of interactive science experiments, and will keep inquisitive kids occupied for a few hours.

There’s plenty of fun stuff for adults too – see our guide to exploring Stockholm with kids for more information.

Tom Tits is easy to reach with public transport. Ride the train from Stockholm’s central station to Södertälje Centrum and then start walking north along the pedestrianised street that runs through the town centre. 

You’ll reach the science centre after around 10 minutes.

9 Drottningholm Palace

Perhaps the single most popular day-trip destination from Stockholm is Drottningholm Palace .

This isn’t the Swedish king’s official residence (that title is given to Kungliga Slottet in central Stockholm), but it is where he spends most of his time.

Built on an island, the palace itself shares space with carefully tended baroque gardens and a theatre that was built way back in 1766, and is still in use today.

You can tour the grounds and palace (apart from the bit the royal family inhabit) all year round, though opening hours are limited to weekends during the winter.

Entrance to the palace is included on the Stockholm Pass . There’s more on visiting the palace from Stockholm in this guide .

In summer, the nicest way to get there is on a boat trip (included in the Stockholm Pass ), which takes around an hour to reach the palace. 

A cheaper, less scenic option is to take the T-bana (subway) to Brommaplan. Once there, change to bus 176 or 177 and get off at Drottningholm.

Or, if you really want to push the boat out, how about this private tour of the palace with your own expert guide, skip-the-line entrance tickets and return ferry tickets?  

Lying on the shores of Lake Mälaren, Sigtuna is a picturesque place dotted with ancient rune stones – about 150 in total in the surrounding area – and historic 12th-century ruined churches.

Sweden’s oldest town, Sigtuna was founded more than 1000 years ago by the Viking King Erik Segersäll. 

Its cobbled streets are lined with painted wooden cottages, and it’s a pleasant place just to wander around and breathe in the history.

We think the best way to explore Sigtuna is on this day-trip from Stockholm that includes a city walk round Sigtuna’s rune stones and historic remains, as well as a stop-off in Uppsala.

In summer, you can take a boat trip to Sigtuna ( included in the Stockholm Pass ), or you can get there by train and bus in under an hour. 

SJ regional trains run regularly from Stockholm central station to Märsta, from where you can get bus #575 onto Sigtuna.

11 Mariefred

This pretty village lies on the southern shores of Lake Mälaren, with narrow cobbled streets, timbered cottages and pretty squares.

However, it’s the imposing Gripsholms slott (or Gripsholms castle) that’s its main attraction, built on an island just a short walk from the village centre.

The original castle was started in the 14th century by Bo Johnsson Grip, though later sections were added in the 16th and 18th centuries. 

If the castle looks familiar, it may be because the cover of ABBA’s Waterloo album was shot here!

Entrance to the castle is included on the Stockholm Pass .

Mariefred can be reached in under an hour from Stockholm’s central station. Take the train to Läggesta, then change onto bus #303 or #305 to Mariefred.

12 Wolf tracking

This is one trip where you really do need a guide to have the best chance of seeing the elusive wolf in its native habitat.

Wolves live wild in the Swedish wilderness, but are very wary of humans, so you’ll need the expert knowledge of a guide, who can help you follow their tracks and listen out for their howls.

This tour also provides binoculars and night vision glasses to improve your chances of seeing them, and a campfire barbecue.

Take the T-bana from Slussen to Malmövägen station, from where it’s a five-minute walk to where you’ll meet your guide on the corner of Ystadsvägen.  

13 The Stockholm Archipelago

Regardless of the time of year, a quick day trip into the Stockholm Archipelago is the perfect way to escape the city.

There are thousands upon thousands of islands to explore, but to reach most of them you’ll need a lot more than a single day (a private yacht would be useful too). Luckily there are plenty of options within easy reach of the city centre. Here are a few of our favourites:

The fact that the little island of Vaxholm is so easy to reach by boat (and indeed road) means that it can get very busy. Even so, it’s packed with pretty wooden buildings and places to eat and drink, and provides a gentle introduction to the wider archipelago.

There’s also an impressive fort just offshore, which houses a museum. In summer, water taxis make the trip between Vaxholm and the fort every 15 minutes.

Our favourite way to explore Vaxholm is by kakak. On this fun day-trip , you’ll paddle round the island, looking out for wildlife then moor up one of the beaches for a tasty picnic lunch.

A little further out into the archipelago and with more of a relaxed feel, despite its popularity with Stockholmers, Grinda has some excellent beaches.

The majority of the island is given over to rocky forest, so it’s a lovely place to explore on foot and have a dip.

And if you want to stay the night, its home to the lovely   Grinda Wärdshus , a renovated traditional wooden guest house. 

Finnhamn just about near enough to Stockholm to reach on a day trip, but you’re much better off spending the night on the island if possible.

The forested island is beautifully serene and is crowned by a cosy hostel . 

There’s a sauna available for hire by the water’s edge – otherwise there’s little to do here except wander along the woodland trails and enjoy the isolation of being far out among the islands.

A sleepy place in winter, the car-free island of Sandön has a resident population of just 120 people. 

But in summer, the pretty village of Sandhamn with narrow cobbled alleyways and a lively harbour front attracts day-trippers from Stockholm and is a popular stopover for sailors and the yachting set.

The island has several lovely sandy beaches and a comfortable hotel if you’re tempted to stay the night.

Getting to the archipelago

There are plenty of boats and ferries out to the islands of the Stockholm archipelago – and some can even be reached by bus!

For full details of how to get to each island, see our ultimate guide to 10 of the best islands in the Stockholm archipelago and how to get there.

Easily reached by boat on a day trip from Stockholm, the preserved Viking settlement of Birka is a must if you like history.

The village sits on the island of Björkö in the middle of Lake Mälaren, and served as an important trading hub between the ninth and tenth centuries.

As well as an excellent museum, which provides a good introduction to Viking activity in the area, Birka is home to a Viking village with reconstructions of typical dwellings.

Strömma runs boat tours to Birka from the quay near Stockholm City Hall , including entry to the museum and a guided tour of the site (May–September only).

A full-day trip out to Birka, including entrance to the Viking village plus the return boat trip is included on the  Stockholm Pass .

15 Helsinki

Ok, so it’s not really doable as a day trip (unless you fly), but it is possible to do an overnight ferry journey from Stockholm to Helsinki and back, that gives you a full day to explore the Finnish capital.

Boats leave Stockholm in the late afternoon , arriving in Helsinki the following morning. After a day in the city, you can re-embark the ferry for the overnight trip back to Stockholm.

If you book far enough in advance the trip can be real bargain. 

Prices start at €130 per person for this  two-night cruise that includes a four-bed cabin, plus two buffet breakfasts – which is about what you’d pay for accommodation alone in the city!

For all lowdown on the journey and how to book, see our guide to  the ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki .

16 Side trips from Stockholm to see the northern lights

Being able to see the northern lights in Stockholm is an extremely rare occurrence.

You could feasibly take a day trip to the far north of Sweden to see the aurora, but it would involve taking a domestic flight very early in the morning from Stockholm to a northern city such as Luleå , Gällivare or Kiruna , and then heading out into the countryside for some proper dark skies.

Even then, there’s no guarantee that you’ll see any lights before your flight back to Stockholm (it could be cloudy, or there could simply be a shortage of solar activity).

The best advice is to allow at least a few days in the north of Sweden to maximize your chances of seeing the aurora. Kiruna and Abisko both make excellent bases. Here’s our full guide to seeing the northern lights in Sweden .

Taylor Swift Surprises Sweden Eras Tour Crowds with 3 Extra “Tortured Poets Department” Songs at 3 Sold-Out Shows

Swift recently coined "Female Rage: The Musical" to describe the part of the setlist for 'The Tortured Poets Department'

• Taylor Swift wrapped up her three Sweden on Sunday
• Each evening, she played a song from The Tortured Poets Department as one of her surprise songs
• The weekend run broke all-time attendance records at the stadium

Taylor Swift ’s “Female Rage: The Musical” was all the rage in Sweden! 

Swift, 34, played three sold-out Eras Tour shows at Stockholm’s Friends Arena from May 17 to May 19, just a week after she coined “Female Rage: The Musical” at her shows in Paris to describe the part of the setlist with seven songs from her new The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD) album.

The 14-time Grammy winner also gifted each night with an extra song from TTPD , all played acoustically either on piano or guitar: “Peter” on Friday, “Guilty as Sin” on Saturday and “How Did It End?” on Sunday.

The anticipation to witness her perform that TTPD era in person intensified for Swifties after the superstar’s TAS Rights Management company filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark “Female Rage: The Musical” on May 11.

All three shows opened with the updated intro mashup that now includes Swift singing “The Tortured Poets Department” along with her other album titles before she appeared onstage to start her 46-song setlist.

Later in the shows, Swift launched into the TTPD era with “But Daddy I Love Him” before singing “So High School,” a song about her boyfriend Travis Kelce , 34, who recently attended an Eras Tour show in Paris .

From there, Swift rolled through “Down Bad,” “Fortnight,” “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” before ending the TTPD era with “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.”

After TTPD each night, Swift sang the bonus TTPD songs. During this section, she also performed surprise mashups: “I Think He Knows/Gorgeous” on May 17, “Say Don't Go/Welcome to New York/Clean” on May 18 and “Message in a Bottle/How You Get the Girl/New Romantics” on May 19.

Swift’s Sweden sold-out shows were also record-breaking ones.

“They also gave me this crazy news earlier today: The crazy news is ... you have made this the most-highly attended show ever in this stadium,” Swift said at the first Sweden show. “You broke the all-time attendance record. You guys are absolutely wild.”

The previous record of 58,163 people inside Friends Arena was achieved in 2019 for the Avicii Tribute Concert featuring David Guetta, Rita Ora and Kygo. The venue can hold as many as 65,000 people for concerts.

On Monday, May 20, Swift thanked fans for their record-breaking attendance: “Stockholm!!!! Thank you for being the most generous, excitable, magical crowds, and for breaking the all time attendance record for the stadium all 3 nights. Can’t believe this was our first time playing in Sweden - but it won’t be our last… 🇸🇪 🥰”

Taylor Swift is about to go back on tour: Here's what to expect on the Eras Tour in Paris

After a two-month break, Taylor Swift is revitalizing her titanic Eras Tour in Paris, and fans believe there are changes coming to the show.

If you are wondering where she's playing, if there will be changes and how to score tickets, here's everything we know.

And if you're new to the Eras Tour party, you can get caught up on the first 83 shows here .

When does the Eras Tour start again?

Swift kicks off the European leg of her tour on Thursday, May 9, in Paris. She will perform Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, as well, in the City of Light.

What are Taylor Swift's tour dates in Europe?

There are 69 shows left in the Eras Tour: 51 in Europe, nine in America and nine in Canada.

The European leg stretches from May all the way through a five-night stand at Wembley Stadium in London in mid-August.

See a complete list of international dates here .

After she wraps up in Europe, Swift will stop in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis before wrapping up in Canada.

See the remaining U.S. dates here .

What is the Eras Tour set list?

The Eras Tour has featured a massive 45-song set list you can check out here . But speculation is swirling it won't look the same when Swift takes the stage in Paris.

Will Taylor Swift add 'The Tortured Poets Department' to her set list?

The tortured poet has been on hiatus keeping her stamina up by releasing a double album of 31 tracks. The 2-hours-and-2-minutes project broke a number of Billboard records as the superstar did zero press to promote it. Fans flocked to stores and streaming services to listen to all the songs from "Fortnight" to "The Manuscript."

Although the singer has not confirmed whether her 11th era album will be added to her Eras Tour set list, she did post a YouTube shorts video with two scenes that sent Easter egg decoders into a frenzy. In one of the shots, the singer is next to a railing where a "TTPD" logo appears to be (at 0:11). In the succeeding shot, her back-up dancers perform holding canes and wearing top hats, something they have not worn previously.

Swift's dancers and bandmates posted to their Instagram stories as they left for France last week. The singer did not appear at two media events with her boyfriend Travis Kelce: the Kentucky Derby and a Formula 1 race in Miami , Florida. Patrick Mahomes, Kelce's friend and Kansas City's quarterback, attended the car racing spectacular with his wife, Brittany.

Can I still get Eras Tour tickets?

Swift's show is completely sold out in Europe and North America. There are resale sites with tickets, but be wary of scams. The best way to avoid getting swindled is continuously checking links on Swift's website . There are some for resale on the sites verified by her camp.

Singapore was a hotbed for fans who traveled thousands of miles only to get turned away at the venue. In Tokyo and Australia, last-minute ticket drops happened a few days — without announcement — ahead of the shows.

Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis — the three U.S. cities Swift is visiting in the fall — have some of the heftiest price tags with Canada closely behind. In may be cheaper to travel to Warsaw, Poland, or Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Here's a list of cities with the cheapest resale tickets, according to travel website  Islands.com .

10. Vienna, Austria — total average cost: $1,089, safety score: 69.72

9. Cardiff, U.K. — total average cost: $1,061, safety score: 61.83

8. Lyon, France — total average cost: $1,047, safety score: 44.3

7. Lisbon, Portugal — total average cost: $1,028, safety score: 70.15

6. Munich, Germany — total average cost: $1,000, safety score: 78.88

5. Paris, France — total average cost: $971, safety score: 41.83

4. Stockholm, Sweden — total average cost: $935, safety score: 53.86

3. Hamburg, Germany — total average cost: $903, safety score: 57.51

2. Gelsenkirchen, Germany — total average cost: $749, safety score: 51.33

1. Warsaw, Poland — total average cost: $712, safety score: 72.98

Who are the opening acts?

Paramore launched the Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023, so it's fitting the American rock band is opening the tour's second year. The act will open for Swift for 51 shows across Europe . The band was dubbed the 2024 Record Store Day global ambassador and surprised fans in Nashville the weekend following the release of "The Tortured Poets Department."

When the tour comes back to North America in October , Swift's opening act will be Gracie Abrams.

Where can I watch if I don't have tickets?

The Eras Tour is one of the first tours that has been followed, globally, by thousands of fans on digital platforms. Fans dedicate part of their concert experience to livestreaming as Swift performs. A few Swifties have learned how to host their own shows over social media including Tess Bohne , known as the livestream queen. Bohne goes live for (almost) every show pulling streams from Instagram and TikTok. When a livestream goes down, she fills the time with banter.

On YouTube, user @TaylorSwiftHockeyBro also livestreams the three-hour show, and on Twitch, @folkleric , is a host fans follow.

There is also an app, Swift Alert , that notifies fans who only want to watch certain eras like the acoustic, surprise set. The app sends out push alerts if there are any major announcements.

What secret songs are left?

For the past 83 shows, Swift has played an acoustic set she customizes at each stop with a guitar and piano performance. In 2024, the Eras Tour star added mashups of her songs for each stop. Here are the songs she has yet to perform:

• "Taylor Swift" (debut album): "Mary's Song" and "A Perfectly Good Heart"
• "Fearless": "The Way I Loved You," "Change," "Superstar," "We Were Happy," "That's When," "Don't You" and "Bye Bye Baby"
• "Red": "Girl At Home," "Ronan," "Forever Winter" and "Run"
• "1989": "Sweeter Than Fiction"
• "Reputation": "I Did Something Bad"
• "Lover": "London Boy," "Soon You'll Get Better" and "It's Nice to Have a Friend"
• "Folklore": "Hoax"
• "Evermore": "Happiness" and "Closure"
• "Midnights": "Paris" and "Glitch"
• "The Tortured Poets Department": all 31 tracks

Will Taylor Swift perform in 2025?

There have been many rumors that Swift will continue her show in 2025, but they are only rumors. Nothing has been announced for next year, and as of now, the tour will end in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Dec. 8.
