Royal Dramatic Theater (Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern)
The locals use the name Dramaten to refer to the Royal Dramatic Theatre, Sweden’s national stage for “spoken drama.” The theatre, built in the Art Nouveau style, has been located here since the early 1900s. From Bergman to Skarsgård, many famous Swedish actors and actresses have worked or performed here.

Kungstradgarden
Kungsträdgården (The King's Garden) is colloquially known as Kungsan. This is one of the city’s main meeting points, with a history that dates back to the 1400s. Today, it is a place for concerts and festivals during the summer, and it is possible to go ice skating in the park during winter. During the spring, visitors can enjoy the cherry blossoms, and in the autumn, the leaves change colour.

Kungsholmen
Kungsholmen translates as Kings Island. It first got its name in the late 1600s. Today, it is known as the youngest part of town and has the highest number of single households in Stockholm.

Stockholm City Hall
The Stockholm City Hall is one of Sweden's most famous buildings, built in the style of the national romantics. With its three golden crowns at the top of the tower, overlooking the shores of Lake Mälaren, it is also an important part of the city skyline.

Ralambshovparken
Rålambshovsparken is the result of a program in the early 1900s, where the social importance of the park was emphasized. The idea was that parks for recreation and play should be found close to where people lived so that everyone, regardless of social status, could enjoy the outdoors in little or no time and without much cost. Today, Stockholmers are meant to have only 300 meters to their nearest green area, which people use all year round.

The Western Bridge
The bridge was inaugurated in the early 1900s and runs between the islands of Södermalm and Kungsholmen. The Stockholm Marathon, which is said to be the most beautiful in the world, crosses the bridge twice.

Reimersholme
Reimersholme is a small island with a few thousand residents. It has a long history of producing both legal and illegal alcohol. If you have ever heard of Absolut Vodka, the story behind it begins here.

Langholmen
Långholmen is one of the greenest islands in the city and a popular recreation area. Here, you can go swimming, watch outdoor theatre, enjoy a good meal, and visit the prison museum, to name but a few things.

Sodermalm
Södermalm is the largest of all the islands that make up Stockholm. For the majority of its existence, it has been the home of the poor and the working class. Not anymore! Today, the hipsters have well and truly transformed Södermalm into a trendy place to live, work, and play.

Skinnarviksberget
The highest natural point in central Stockholm, Skinnarviksberget, is 53 meters above sea level and a favourite place among the locals for picnics and parties under the open sky. The views are stunning – across the water, you can see Kungsholmen, Gamla Stan and Stockholm City Hall.

Slussen
Slussen translates to “the lock,” and the reason for the lock is the difference in water level. Two bodies of water surround Stockholm: Lake Mälaren on the one side (west) and the Baltic Sea on the other (east). Lake Mälaren is approximately 70cm higher than the Baltic Sea.

Stortorget
Stortorget is the main square of Stockholm's Old Town and the best place to begin exploring it. It is where the first Town Hall was built, where the Nobel Museum lies today, where merchants from far and near came to exchange products, where drinking took place, and where executions were held for a certain period of time. Today, the square is mainly known for an event in 1520 (the Bloodbath of Stockholm).

Royal Palace
The Royal Palace is one of Europe's largest and most vibrant places. It is His Majesty the King's official residence, and essential parts of the monarchy's representation occur here. The Royal Palace is also the everyday workplace for the King and Queen. This makes the Royal Palace of Stockholm unique amongst Europe’s royal residences.
