When to book flights to Stockholm

Although Stockholm makes a great year-round destination, your experience of the city will be very different depending on when you visit.

Book cheap flights to Stockholm in the summer and you’ll be able to experience exceptionally long days, warm weather and a choice of outdoor activities. Go swimming or kayaking around the city’s lakes and rivers, sunbathe on deserted beaches and catch a ferry to one of Stockholm’s many islands.

Fly to Stockholm in the winter, however, and things will be very different. Days are short, nights long and temperatures regularly plummet below zero. If you’re looking for a bit of festive fun, or if you enjoy exploring snow-covered cities, a winter visit may well suit you down to the ground.

How to find cheap flights to Stockholm

Must-see attractions in Stockholm

Stockholm’s most famous attractions is Gamla Stan, the city’s Old Town. Located on its very own island, this atmospheric area is made up of cobbled streets, historic buildings and pretty squares. Spend an afternoon exploring the restaurants and shops that line the streets of Gamla Stan or enjoy a bit of people watching from one the neighbourhood’s pavement cafes.

Another must-see attraction is the Vasa Museum which is home to the incredible Vasa battleship. After sinking on its maiden voyage in 1628, the ornate ship was raised from the water in 1961 and restored to its former glory.
