Stockholm: what to book before you go, the Monday closures and the tower that is shut

💡 The Short Version: The Vasa Museum says pre-purchased tickets give no priority in the queue, so arrive at opening, or on a Wednesday evening from September to May, when it stays open to 20:00. ABBA The Museum sells timed 30-minute slots. Most museums are closed on Mondays; the Vasa Museum, Skansen, the Royal Palace and ABBA are open. Drottningholm Palace opens at weekends only until 6 December 2026. Skansen closes at 15:00 on weekdays until 10 January 2027. Two sights people expect are shut: the Kaknästornet TV tower since 2018, and the City Hall tower from early 2027. Sweden charges no tourist tax on hotel stays. Many places take cards only. From Arlanda Airport the Arlanda Express reaches Stockholm Central in 18 minutes for SEK 340. Prices are in Swedish kronor. Or book a tour: the Gamla Stan walking tourad is from SEK 150 and the City Highlights boat tourad from SEK 289 (GetYourGuide).

What to book before you go

Prices are the adult rate in kronor, from the operators. Buy from the operator: searches for the Vasa Museum, ABBA The Museum and Drottningholm return sites with the sights’ names in their web addresses that are not the operators.

• The Djurgården island. The Vasa Museum, Skansen, ABBA The Museum, the Viking Museum and Gröna Lund are all on Djurgården, and each has a page. Stockholm with kids sorts them by age.
• Gamla Stan. The Royal Palace, the guard, the Nobel Prize Museum and the cathedral sit within a few streets of each other. Gamla Stan says what costs money.
• Walks. The Gamla Stan walk runs from Gamla stan station to Slussen, and the Södermalm walk from Slussen to Zinkensdamm, each with what is open on which day.
• Museums. Best museums in Stockholm has the prices, the Monday rule and the late nights.
• Views and art. Stockholm’s viewpoints names the free ones, and the metro art needs only a ticket for the train.
• Free. Free things to do in Stockholm lists what costs nothing, and what only looks free.

Hours and closed days

Hours are the operators’ own, for autumn and winter 2026/27. The Royal Palace’s published hours run to 31 December 2026.

Closed or changed

• Kaknästornet: the TV tower has been closed to the public since 2018, and its owner Teracom told the newspaper Mitt i in June 2025 that it has no plans to reopen it.
• The City Hall tower: closed to visitors for renovation, scheduled from early 2027 to the end of 2028, with reopening expected in 2029. The City Hall itself is open on its guided tours, and is closed from 6 to 11 December and on 24, 25, 26 and 31 December 2026.
• The Medieval Museum under Norrbro: closed while it moves to the Börshuset at Stortorget in Gamla Stan. The City of Stockholm gives no opening date.
• Drottningholm Palace: open on Saturdays and Sundays from 3 October to 6 December 2026, then from 31 December 2026 to 6 January 2027. The Strömma boat from City Hall ran for the last time on 24 October 2026 and returns on 15 May 2027. The metro and a bus reach the palace all year.
• Gröna Lund: shut until spring except for its Halloween and Christmas events.
• Riddarholmen Church: open to the public in the summer months only.
• Skansen’s Christmas market: 27 November to 20 December 2026. On 31 December Skansen opens again from 20:00 to 24:00.
• The Viking Museum: the adult price rises from SEK 199 to SEK 239 on 24 October 2026, and children aged 0 to 14 enter free from that date.
• The Vasa Museum: the adult price is SEK 240 from 1 May to 30 September and SEK 195 the rest of the year.
• Junibacken: closed on the Mondays of September and November 2026, on 5 October and on 24 and 25 December.

Does a pass pay back?

Go City sells an All-Inclusive pass for consecutive days: SEK 949 for one day, SEK 1,349 for two, SEK 1,699 for three, SEK 1,949 for four and SEK 1,999 for five. Buy it on Go City’s own site. Stockholm pass: is it worth it? has the sums.

• A pass of three days pays only with the boats. A Gamla Stan day (Royal Palace SEK 220, Royal Armoury SEK 180, Nobel Prize Museum SEK 160, Storkyrkan SEK 120), a Djurgården day (Vasa SEK 195, Viking Museum SEK 239, Nordiska museet SEK 170 and the Royal Djurgården boat tour SEK 271) and a city day (Fotografiska SEK 195, Spritmuseum SEK 190 and the Under the Bridges boat tour SEK 366) total SEK 2,306 against SEK 1,699.
• Without the two boat tours the same days total SEK 1,669, SEK 30 less than the pass.
• A one-day pass is a hard day. Vasa, Viking Museum, Nordiska museet and the Royal Djurgården boat total SEK 875, and it takes a fifth paid sight to pass SEK 949.
• Mondays shrink the list. The Nobel Prize Museum, the Royal Armoury, the History Museum, Nationalmuseum and Moderna are closed.

Free things worth a line

• The changing of the guard at the Royal Palace is free to watch.
• Monteliusvägen, a 500-metre path on Södermalm, looks over Lake Mälaren, City Hall and Riddarholmen. Visit Stockholm warns that parts of it can be slippery in winter.
• The Stockholm City Museum at Slussen is free.
• Nationalmuseum is free for everyone on Thursdays 17:00 to 20:00, and Moderna Museet on Fridays 18:00 to 20:00. Nationalmuseum’s permanent collection costs SEK 160 at other times.
• Children and teenagers enter the Vasa Museum free to age 18, Nationalmuseum to 19 and the Nobel Prize Museum to 18.
• The metro art costs only the ticket. The metro art guide names the stations.

No tourist tax

Sweden charges no city or tourist tax on hotel stays, so the room price is the price you pay. Where to stay in Stockholm compares the areas.

Getting in from the airport

Stockholm Arlanda Airport to the city compares the options. All three end at Stockholm Central Station.

• Three adults pay SEK 580 on the Arlanda Express and SEK 600 on the commuter train.
• SL tickets are not valid on the Arlanda Express. If you already hold an SL travelcard, the station fee on the commuter train is SEK 157.
• Taxis: Sweden does not regulate taxi fares. The comparison price on the outside of the car is not a maximum, so ask for a price before you set off.

Getting around

SL runs the metro (tunnelbana), commuter trains, trams, buses and four commuter ferries on one ticket, with no zones for visitors. Stockholm public transport has the rules.

Tap a Visa, Mastercard or American Express card at the barrier and it buys a single ticket for yourself only; SL prints no daily cap, so the fifth single journey of a day costs more than the 24-hour ticket. Up to six children under 12 travel free with a paying adult. The penalty fare is SEK 1,850 plus the price of a single ticket. The Djurgården ferry, line 82 from Slussen, takes an SL ticket.

Entry rules for Sweden

Sweden is in the Schengen area, so the 90 days count across every Schengen country you visit.

The photo and fingerprints are the EU’s Entry/Exit System, which replaces passport stamps for non-EU visitors and has been fully operational since 10 April 2026. It costs nothing and needs nothing before you travel (EU). The ETIAS travel authorisation, a €20 online form for visa-free visitors, is not yet required: the EU says ETIAS is not in operation and will announce the start date several months ahead (ETIAS).

Sweden has notified border controls on all its internal borders, by land, air and sea, and on its land border with Denmark, for 12 November 2026 to 11 May 2027, following a notification that runs to 11 November 2026. The Swedish police check identity on arrivals from Denmark, at Hyllie, the first station across the Øresund Bridge. Carry your passport, or for EU citizens a passport or national ID card, on the way in from Copenhagen. Copenhagen’s Malmö day trip has the same check, and Copenhagen is the other half of a two-city trip.

The rules above come from the UK, Canadian and Australian government travel pages, the EU’s passport rule for visa-free visitors and its guidance for EU citizens. For official safety advice, see the UK Foreign Office and US State Department pages for Sweden.

Day trips

Day trips from Stockholm compares every trip by train, boat and tour. The ones with something to know:

• Vaxholm and the archipelago: any SL ticket works on the Waxholmsbolaget boats between Strömkajen and Vaxholm all year. The trip takes about an hour each way and a single ticket is SEK 43. Strömma’s Cinderella boats to Grinda and Sandhamn do not run until April 2027.
• Uppsala: SL commuter trains run half-hourly, and a combined UL and SL single is SEK 83, valid for 150 minutes. The cathedral is free and open daily 08:00 to 18:00, with no sightseeing during the Sunday high mass.
• Drottningholm Palace: the metro to Brommaplan and a bus, on one SL ticket, all year.
• Birka and Gripsholm Castle are seasonal. Boats and the museum at Birka stop from November to April, and Gripsholm Castle is shut from 2 November 2026 to 5 January 2027.

Tours, food, drink and when to go

Stockholm walking tours, boat tours, bike tours and the hop-on hop-off bus set the guided options side by side. Where to eat in Stockholm lists the restaurants, Swedish meatballs says where to order köttbullar and fika names the cafes. Stockholm food tours compares the guided ones and food halls covers Östermalms Saluhall and Hötorgshallen. Best time to visit Stockholm gives the weather by month, with the Stockholm Christmas markets 2026 and Stockholm New Year’s Eve 2026 for the dates that change a visit, and Stockholm Midsummer 2027 for next summer.

What changed in 2024 to 2026

• 2018: Kaknästornet closed to the public and has not reopened.
• 10 April 2026: the EU Entry/Exit System became fully operational.
• 26 March 2026: the Nobel Center at Slussen received its building permit. Construction starts in 2027, and the Nobel Prize Museum moves there when it opens in 2031.
• 2026: the Vrak Museum of Wrecks was named Museum of the Year 2026 by the Swedish Museums Association and ICOM Sweden.
• 24 October 2026: the Viking Museum, formerly Vikingaliv, raises its prices.
• 12 November 2026 to 11 May 2027: the period of Sweden’s notified border controls.
• Early 2027: the City Hall tower closes for renovation until the end of 2028.

Plan the trip

• Where to sleep: where to stay in Stockholm compares the areas, hotels near Stockholm Central Station lists the hotels beside the station and hotels near Arlanda Airport the ones at the airport.
• Getting there and about: Stockholm Arlanda Airport to the city, Stockholm public transport and the cruise port to the city.
• When to go: best time to visit Stockholm, the Stockholm Christmas markets 2026, Stockholm New Year’s Eve 2026 and Stockholm Midsummer 2027.
• The sights: the Vasa Museum, Skansen, ABBA The Museum, Gröna Lund, the Royal Palace, the changing of the guard, Drottningholm Palace and the City Hall tour each have a guide. Best museums in Stockholm covers the rest, and Stockholm pass: is it worth it? runs the pass sums.
• The Old Town and the views: Gamla Stan, the best views in Stockholm and the metro art.
• Free and family: free things to do in Stockholm gathers what costs nothing, and Stockholm with kids sorts it by age.
• How many days: 3 days in Stockholm builds the plan round the bookings and the closed days.
• Tours: Stockholm walking tours, boat tours, bike tours, the hop-on hop-off bus and food tours.
• Food and drink: where to eat in Stockholm, Swedish meatballs, fika and food halls.
• Day trips: day trips from Stockholm, with the archipelago and Uppsala.
• Two cities: Copenhagen and its Malmö day trip are the other end of the Øresund Bridge.
• With young children: best city breaks with kids sets Stockholm against seven other cities, with the free Skansen ticket, the free ages and what a child pays on SL.
• Northern capitals: Scandinavian city breaks sets Stockholm against four other northern capitals, with the airport fare, the day ticket, the city pass sum and the Monday closures.
