5 days Stockholm Itinerary and Review of Stockholm Pass

There are many museums in Sweden and it’s full of culture. Hence, we decided to get the 3-day Stockholm pass so that we could cover as many as we wanted without having to worry about overspending! Honestly, the Stockholm pass would probably be more worth the money in summer, when all the cruises and day trips are available. It also comes with the option to buy a travel card, which was good.

I’ll do a review on the attractions that I found interesting and worth going for.

Stockholm winter tour 

It’s a must-go because it’s the only cruise that’s operating in winter. You’ll get to have a big overview on the different islands in Sweden and also listen to a brief historical background on some of the interesting and noteworthy points of the city! I found myself remembering the stories even months after the trip. I chose to go in the evening when the sun was setting so it made the tour really pretty because the boat was lit up with Christmas lights.

Skansen open air museum 

This was by far my favourite attraction. You get to walk around everywhere, and it's huge! It ranges from the historical towns to animal farms for children, as well as some arctic animals in the region. Oh, and the view there is stunning. Extremely worth the time.

Junibacken
There is a cool story train that you MUST take when you're there. You aren't allowed to take pictures on the story train but it will bring you through 3d models of Astrid Lindgren's stories. Also, there are life-sized doll houses that children (and smaller adults) can play in. I loved it!

Skyview at Globen

It’s another ride that gives you an overview of the entire city, but doesn’t overlap with the winter tour. It’s essentially somewhat like a Ferris wheel, except that you’re going around the circumference of the globe, which made it rather cool.

Fotografiska
I was a bit hesitant at first because it's just photographs and art work. But some of the works were really interesting and their concepts are rather cool. I did enjoy my time there and we spent quite a bit of time exploring the artists' thoughts.

Other things we visited that I didn't find as interesting:
Cathedrals (see one, see all)
Nobel museum (too crowded, it's just a history of the people who've won it)
Vasa museum (cool to see the ship but that's about it)
Royal palace (it's just a glorified house)

We also managed to take a nice walk through a forested area from our Airbnb! This was one of the highlights of my time in Stockholm.
