Autumn weekend in Stockholm - our top tips

Thinking of an autumn weekend in Stockholm? As a travel blogger, it's easy to get carried away and forget to mention your own city. Today we thought we would take the opportunity to offer some of our tips about Stockholm. Because this is where you're going, right? And of course, we'd love to hear your best tips about our capital!

Autumn weekend in Stockholm?

There is of course a lot to see and do during an autumn weekend in Stockholm. We don't have the ambition to offer a comprehensive guide, but here are some tips from us!

Cosy areas

There are many beautiful areas in Stockholm. If you come as a tourist, you should of course see Old Town. If you are lucky with the weather, it is also nice to walk around on the Djurgården, where you will also find many nice museums. It is also nice to stroll along The beach road in Östermalm or perhaps in The heights of the South on Södermalm.

Nature and parks

There are many natural areas in the Stockholm area that you can visit. If you stay in the city centre, you can find one of the many parks. For example, we have recently found Karlberg Castle Parkwhere we like to walk. Walking in a cemetery may seem a bit odd, but it's not. Forest cemetery is both beautiful and a UNESCO heritage site.

Interesting city walks

City walks can be interesting, even if you're from Stockholm. We have tried city walks with OurWay Tours, both standing walk in the Old Town (with the theme of Kisses & Dirt!) and city walk in Östermalm (with the theme From Shit to Luxury). Very interesting and entertaining!

Experiences on water

Some boat tours only run in the summer months, but others run for much of the autumn. We once took a classic boat sightseeing tour called the Under the bridges of Stockholm with Strömma, and this year it runs until 3 November. You can also take a boat out to beautiful Vaxholm.

Good restaurants

We don't go out to eat in restaurants often enough to be able to give any really good restaurant tips, but we were very impressed by restaurant Palett on Odenplan. If you are looking for real Swedish home cooking in a historic beer hall, it is also always fun to visit The mill at Medborgarplatsen.

Nice cafés

We seldom have time for coffee, but if you want to experience a truly classic café in Stockholm, this is the place to go. Wheat cats never wrong. Cozy during a chilly autumn weekend in Stockholm!

Comfortable bars

We don't hang out in bars very often anymore, but when we do, we've found that hotel bars often have a relaxed and cosy atmosphere. A favourite is the bar at Haymarket at Hötorget.

Exciting museums

Stockholm is one of the most museum-rich cities in the world. In other words, there are plenty of museums to choose from. We can make a case for Hallwylska Palace (for those who want to step right into an exclusive turn-of-the-century apartment), Tidö Collection of Toys and Comics (for those who want to remember the toys of the past) and Viking life (for those who want to think about what life was like in the Viking Age).

Impressive castle

If you like castles, there are several to choose from in and around Stockholm. You can of course check out The Royal Palace, and it is also nice to make an excursion to Drottningholm Castle.

Current events

There is always something going on in Stockholm. It's almost Halloween and there's a lot going on, including Halloween at Gröna Lund. For more current events and events for an autumn weekend in Stockholm see Visit Stockholm.

Fun shopping

If you want to find a lot of shops at once, you can go to Mall of Scandinavia in Solna. There are a huge number of shops, and when you get tired of shopping, you can enjoy everything from sushi on a conveyor belt to cinema or billiards.

If you're looking for some extra stylish menswear (maybe for Christmas?), we can also recommend our favourite store. Taracci on Tegnérgatan. Prefer to shop for food? Check out Hötorgshallen!

Relaxing spa and baths

Why not treat yourself to a relaxing spa or bath? Located in the centre of Stockholm, the classic bathhouses are Central baths and Sturebadet. Both offer swimming in beautiful surroundings, as well as the possibility of various treatments.

Different activities

Want to do something different during your weekend in Stockholm? Why not take a trip with Amphibious buses Ocean Bus?

Hotels for an autumn weekend in Stockholm

We usually (maybe for natural reasons?) never stay in a hotel in Stockholm. However, we like the atmosphere of Scandic Haymarket on Hötorget and the relaxed atmosphere of the Downtown Camper on Brunkeberg Square.

Campsites and pitches for an autumn weekend in Stockholm

Travelling with a motorhome? Here are some campsites and pitches that are open all year round:

• Tantolunden campervan campsite, Ringvägen 24, Stockholm
