Hi guys!

I'm thinking of visiting Stockholm around November/December time. Was just wondering whether any of you have been/live in Stockholm and what would be the best things to see and do there?? :p

Thanks

Do you wanna do the touristic stuff? Do you wanna party? What kind of guy are you? We'll be easier to say what you should do then.

Btw, Sweden is not that pretty in November.

I'd love to visit Stokholm some day too.

I've been to Malmø and Helsinborg several times though, which are also great Swedish cities. :p

I've been in Stockholm quite a few times the past 2 years, and it could be my favorite city in the world. Unfortunately, I can't really suggest anything, because I usually go there to party, or just walk around in the city when I have nothing else to do. Which is pretty much what I like to do as a tourist. Never been there in November or December tho...

But like Mackan said, it would be easier to give hints if we knew what kind of person you are. There are loads of Stockholm guides out there tho, maybe one of them can help:

I went to Stockholm this year. If you're doing touristy stuff, I'd recommend getting the Stockholm Card which gives free admission to most museums and attractions. It also includes free public transport.

I went in August, so my experience is very different. I really enjoyed Skansen, which is a big open air museum with a very good zoo. Obviously, it's open air, so would be better in Summer, when they also have a weekly pop concert.

I found the main royal palace a bit unengaging. All the little signs as you went round told you about the things in each room, as opposed to what happened there and the stories of the people who used them. I found the royal armoury museum tucked round the side much better, because it taught me the history of Sweden. I might have enjoyed the palace more if I went to the armoury and the other two museums first.

I also took a boat trip to Drottningholm Palace, which is incredibly beautiful. They have regular guided tours of the palace itself, which are a must if you go there. Unfortunately, this was my last day and by then I was shattered and didn't see much of the other bits.

I lived in Stockholm for about a year. But I moved in August because now I'm studying in Linköping. I really miss Stockholm!
