If you visit Sweden in summer:
- don’t miss the Midsummer celebration in June! And the national day is 6th June!
- there are many beaches in the city. My favourite is Lappis Beach, but also Brunnsviksbadet, Fredhalllsbadet, Smedsuddbadet and Frosundavik badplats
- if you like Kayak, it’s an amazing way to visit the city, I had good experience with Point65 and Kayakomat Stockholm Frescati
If you visit Sweden in winter: Vasaparken football field gets frozen and it’s a nice free ice-skating ring! Also Kungsträdgården and other parks have renting ice-skates!
If you have any correction/suggestion, I’m happy if you contact me.
