Things to do in Stockholm

The easiest way to find a location in Stockholm is to look at the yellow pages. Choose english on the main page and enter a heading in the search form, for exampel 'Skansen' or 'museum', and choose Stockholm as region. Then you will get the address, the location marked on a map, and directions on how to get there depending on where you start from.

• Visit Skansen - the first open-air museum in the world. Skansen is also a zoological park specialising mainly in Nordic fauna. It is located on the island of Djurgården, a royal park near the centre of Stockholm. The easiest way to get to Skansen is by taking bus 44 that leaves from AlbaNova and also stops outside Hotel Arcadia.
• Close to Skansen you find Gröna Lund, Stockholms 119 year old amusement park.
• The City Hall is one of Sweden's foremost buildings in the National Romantic style. Behind the imposing facades, built with 8 million bricks are found offices, meeting rooms and banquetting halls.
