I stayed in Östermalm and there are lots of bars and restaurants in this area as it's very central, so I would recommend staying here. It was nice to see Gamla Stan/the old town and also Skansen and the Tivoli. I felt the nightlife was a little tame but it might be because the weather was terrible on the nights I went out (heavy rain)!
Posted: August 27, 2025Experienced: June, 2025I felt very safe in Stockholm, the city centre is walkable but they have good public transportation too. I stayed in Mosebacke hostel in a private room. It was affordable, clean, good location, limited breakfast options so I only had a coffee. Overall it’s a nice city for a weekend trip.

When staying with my family, we’ve mostly spent time with my grandma in her little cottage house near the ocean in Fårskäret. Having spent most summers here during my childhood i’d say this is a truly amazing little hideout from the real world. Unfortunately it’s a bit of a drive to the nearest supermarket, around half an hour. In the “city” there’s not really much to do, there are a few restaurants, supermarkets and some second hand shops. Aside from that there’s one week during the summer with a lot of activities, such as a monster truck stunt show. We use our family car to get around, i wouldn’t say you could get around here without a vehicle to “live”, although biking trips are really cozy!
Posted: July 23, 2025I felt really safe while visiting Stockholm alone by myself. I went partying with some new people and I felt safe while going back home. I moved alone around the city and I felt safe. The city is beautiful and the country has a lot of things to do.

It is very safe unless you go into a bad area (at night around T-Cebtralen there’s drunk people but they won’t do anything to you). Worst thing you will be catcalled but even that it’s extremely rare
