Summer in Stockholm is a magical time when the city comes to life with sunny days, warm evenings, and an endless array of activities. Whether you're looking for culture, entertainment, or relaxation in scenic surroundings, there's something for everyone. At Hotel Ruth, we offer the perfect base for your summer stay in Stockholm – a boutique hotel with personal service and charming atmosphere.
Stockholm offers a fantastic mix of nature and city life. Here are some of the best things to experience during your summer holiday:
The Stockholm archipelago is a must during the summer! Take a boat from Nybrokajen or Strömkajen and discover islands like Fjäderholmarna, Sandhamn, or Grinda. Perfect for a day trip with sun, swimming, and good food. Want a shorter trip? Head to Fjäderholmarna in just 30 minutes and enjoy the archipelago feel close to the city.
Djurgården is Stockholm's green oasis, perfect for walks, bike rides, or a picnic in Rosendal's garden. Visit attractions such as the Vasa Museum, Skansen, or ABBA The Museum. Rent a bike and explore the whole island on two wheels, or take a peaceful boat ride along Djurgårdsbrunnskanalen.
Summer is the perfect time to sit down at one of the city's many outdoor cafes. From rooftop bars with fantastic views to cozy cafes by the water – Stockholm has something for every taste. Visit Tak at Brunkebergstorg for a panoramic view, or enjoy a classic fika at Vetekatten. Don't miss the outdoor cafe at Hotel Ruth, where you can enjoy something refreshing right in the charming Vasastan.
Did you know that Stockholm has several lovely swimming spots right in the city? Take a dip at Smedsuddsbadet, Långholmen, or Tantolunden – all close to the city and perfect for a sunny day. Or why not try Fredhälls klippor, where you can jump directly into Lake Mälaren.
Stockholm offers a mix of exclusive shops, unique design stores, and trendy second-hand shops. Stroll along Biblioteksgatan for luxury shopping or visit Södermalm for vintage finds. Combine shopping with a visit to Fotografiska, Moderna Museet, or a theatre performance at Dramaten.
For one of Stockholm's most beautiful views, head to Monteliusvägen in Södermalm. Here you can enjoy a magical sunset with a fantastic view of Gamla Stan and the City Hall. Perfect for an evening walk or a romantic moment.
Want to experience Stockholm without spending a penny? Visit Kungsträdgården where concerts and events are often held, take a free guided tour of the City Hall, or walk along the beautiful Norr Mälarstrand. Visiting Stockholm at the end of August? For five evenings, the Stockholm Film Festival offers free films under the open sky in Rålambshovsparken on Kungsholmen.
