Stockholm is home to many great art museums. Actually, to visit Stockholm is to visit one giant museum, and everywhere you look there are interesting buildings, from decidedly contemporary to houses that date as far back as the late 13th century.
Here is a selection of attractions where you can enjoy great art.
With relatively few skyscrapers and many historical buildings preserved, Stockholm has an unusually short skyline for a city of its size. That, of course, doesn’t mean that it lacks in architectural beauty.

Beautiful nature, great local food, and exciting adventures. Just 20 minutes away from Stockholm a world of 30 000 islands begins.
The Stockholm Archipelago is the largest of its kind in Sweden. With over 30 000 islands it covers an area of more than 650 square miles; from the city-close Fjäderholmarna Islands in the west to the Svenska Högarna islets in the east, and from the abandoned fortifications on Arnholma in the north to the lonely lighthouse on Landsort in the south.
