Stockholm is an amazing city and this was another video guide that took more than a week to produce. Please help me out by sharing this video where you can! It’s so disheartening to work so hard for so few views, and all you’re trying to do is help the world to see these places. Good karma is much appreciated! EDIT (24.07.2023) - I've been reliably informed that the Nobel Prizes are awarded at the Concert Hall, not City Hall - and AVICII Arena is not named for sponsorship reasons.
Great video as always, from my countrys capitol no less! Bit stunned you didn't enjoy Södermalm tho! That's my favourite part of Stockholm and I always recommend it to people. That's where all the good bars, restaurants, small shops etc are. If you only have time to see one part of Stockholm, Södermalm is the place! They even have their own Soho, called Sofo 😂 It's like the Brooklyn of Stockholm, or maybe Camden or the East End or something like that, if you know what I mean. 😊
Yeah thanks! 😀 I understand what you mean - I think if I took the time to truly explore every area of Södermalm, I'd probably enjoy it a bit more. That said, Stockholm is really diverse city and I thought there were lots of areas that were fantastic.
@UltimateBucketList I'm impressed you got to see and do so much! That's activitys for several days in your guide. You must've been exhousted 😅 If you do come back some day I hope you give Södermalm another go for a bit more relaxing time, great food and beer and such 😊
You're welcome! I'm happy to hear that my travel guide to Stockholm has helped you planned your trip. Please share this video on your social media pages to help me out. Thanks very much for your kind comments and enjoy your trip to Sweden! :)
Thank you for a lovely tour of Stockholm! It was mostly accurate, but there are a few things I'd like to correct: 1. Drottningholm Palace is the all-year-round main residence of the King and Queen of Sweden. 2. The Nobel Prize is not handed out in the Stockholm City Hall but in The Stockholm Concert Hall. The City Hall and specifically the mentioned Blue Hall is hosting the Nobel Prize banquet. 3. Globen (Avicii Arena) is not the largest concert venue (capacity 16000), next to it is Tele 2 Arena (capacity 31000) and outside of the city centre is Friends Arena (capacity 65000) 4. If you're not just into museums and/or sights, Södermalm is definitely worth a visit, it is one of the most vibrants parts of town when it comes to boutique shopping, restaurants and bars.
Thanks for your comment. 1) I didn't actually know that. 2) I did know that, but got the details wrong when doing the voiceover. 3) I was referring to the largest indoor concert venue. Obviously an outdoor stadium would host much more. 4) Whilst I did mention shops, restaurants and bars - I found it to be lacking in actual attractions, hence why I mentioned that particular phrase. Thanks again for your input.
Glad I found your channel…so much helpful information! I’ve already saved several of your other videos for my planned Scandinavian/Baltic trip in July Thank you
Ah fantastic! I did Scandinavia in July and the weather was mostly perfect (as you see in my videos). Not too hot, not too cold, it's a nice atmosphere. I'm happy that my videos help you plan your trip. If you can, be sure to share my videos on your socials so that they help other people. But in the meantime: enjoy your vacation!
The fame of the Vasa is amusing to me - given it never actually did any 'ship' thing (except sink, of course, very very soon after launching). Great video. Thanks.
Thank you, really enjoyed it. Anne looked so much nicer without her hair in a beehive! Petty I know but it just struck me so much. Real faces to put with people 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

very well done. great explanations, great level of detail. i would try to add recommended restaurants. Thats always a challenge finding good food spots. thanks
Yes, I totally agree with you. Considering you can get a normal bus for 1/10th of the cost, it's very high. That said, it's also very convenient and I think that's what you're paying for.
I drive a Swedish vehicle to and from work. Yes indeed, the Volvo. It's a 2000 S70. The miles are high but it's running good. The Swedes know well about vehicle manufacturing. 223K miles is proof. I have 2 favorite ABBA songs. Dancing Queen and Knowing me, knowing you.
Great channel! So informative! Is there are link for videos you mentioned such as the full video of Drottningholm Palace, the Royal Palace in Stockholm and those in Copenhagen? I've looked through your channel, but have yet to locate them. Tah!
Hi, thanks again for your kind comments. I have yet to make those particular videos (massive backlog of editing that I need to do!), but you'll see those videos pop up on my channel sometime in the future.
15:02 As Swedish often put the definite article at the end, kastell+et = the kastell, so "the Kastellet" is therefore a bit like saying "the the castle". (Kastell, slott, borg, palats are all variants of castles.)
@@UltimateBucketList Indeed, but some of us are language nerds (not so few actually). The type that enjoys talking about differences and similarities between closely related languages, like Swedish and English.
Hi Marie. I didn't book in advance, but I found using the Stockholm GoCity Pass gets you without having to wait anyway. The only things I had to have a timed ticket for is The Royal Palace, the Abba Museum and the boat ride to Drottingingholm Palace. Every other attraction I virtually just walked straight in. Hope that helps?
Thanks Stuart, it's definitely worth visiting if you get the chance. And as an ABBA fan, yes I knew they won the ESC in Brighton even though the UK didn't win the previous one. Just like they hosted it this year without winning.
Hello Ninh! Now, I have been to Stockholm before. Twice. I’ve basically been to Djurgården, to visit Skansen, the viking museum, and Junibacken, which is a memorial museum to one of Sweden’s best authors: Astrid Lindgren. And the thing about Globen is that the reason it’s called the Avicii Arena is that it was done to pay tribute to the late Swedish DJ Avicii, who commited suicide in April 2018. BTW, after the Scandinavia videos, do you plan on doing the Baltic countries next?
Yes, a native Swede pointed out that the AVICII Arena is not named for sponsorship reasons. And my next videos are Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga and Oslo - but not necessarily in that order. These things take forever to make.
albo w którymś z poprzednich wcieleń mieszkałam w Sztokholmie albo mam w sobie pamięć genetyczną po bardzo dawnych przodkach ze Sztokholmu bo Sztokholm wydaje mi się taki mi znany, bliski, mój. Czuję więź z tym miastem choć nigdy tam nie byłam.
26:26 No longer a summer residence. it is the permanent residence of the King and Queen. It was our current king who felt, for the sake of their children, to be more around nature and more private than in the middle of Stockholm Castle. So Stochlom Castle is solely the workplace of the King, Queen, Crown Princess & her husband Prince Daniel
Thank you very much for watching this video. To answer your question: I'd recommend 3 or 4 days to do absolutely everything in terms of attractions. Go for 5 days if you want to take your time. You could spend a week here if you enjoy spending afternoons exploring greenspaces and parks. Hope that helps?
Anyone watching this video need to listen to Möt mig i gamla stan by Magnus Carlsson, a banger about the guy doing anything to get to his beloved in Gamla stan.
Hi Ninh! What did you go to the city Hall? I would love to go inside tour. I can estimate time to go getting the ticket. And do you know how many time they have inside tour a day? Thanks, Ninh.
Hi, thanks for your message. For a guided tour of Stockholm City Hall, you will need to go to the ticket office on the day, as there is no way to book them in advance. Tours last for 45 minutes and the number of tours per day depends on the day itself. For more information, visit: stadshuset.stockholm/en/visit-stockholm-city-hall/guided-tours/
Yes I am! I've got the footage, but they take ages to cut into videos. They'll appear on my channel soon enough. Be sure to help me out by sharing this!
@@UltimateBucketList Sorry Ninh it was meant as a light hearted joke . I agree no matter where you go in the world city's you are no more than 10 miles from a store!. Very informative video thanks, keep up the quality content.
Hi, yes there are public toilets and most of them are free of charge (unlike Riga that charges you to pee!). Places do still take cash as payment, but they prefer you to pay by card. Hope that helps?
An excellent video but I was sorry you were so dismissive about Sodermalm. I once had a nice holiday there and whilst it is not so scenic, compared to elsewhere in the city, it does have other merits. Not least of all the people, who are far more friendly than some of those in the city. In fact, I soon found out that the people in Sodermalm felt that residents from the more monied parts, snobbishly looked down their noses at them. Whereas I found people in Sodermalm to be far more open and down to earth! Perhaps though, this will be of little interest to the casual visitor, who might not be aware or care about such differences but I have always found that it's the people of a country that can make or break a holiday! Despite a division of class, Stockholm remains a great city, but I prefer and enjoy the city of Copenhagen Denmark, much more, where there is a good balance of places to see and a fun loving outgoing people to go with it!
Well, I have to report about my findings as I experienced them. Obviously if you experienced something different, I respect your opinion, but please note that respect works both ways. As for Copenhagen - I made a video guide about that too. Fabulous city!
Love Sweden, its Blonde Beautifuls, and now having seen their Oh-So-Beautiful Stockholm, love Swedes even more. Thank you Mr Ultimate Bucket List ! but please note, if we ever crossed paths in life, you would probably kick the bucket for the crime of calling ABBA songs 'cheesy''. On the day I'm feeling merciful, at the very least, expect some of your front teeth knocked back. (I 'm actually rather sensitive these days about why so many people around the world have so many teeth). Sweden I love you, expect to see me at all the places in this video someday soon.
Yes I agree with Stockholm and Swedes being amazing people in general. The term 'cheesy music' is actually a good thing where I'm from, and if you checked out my channel, you'll realise I'm an ABBA fan too. However, if you feel the need to exact violence and threaten death to someone you perceive has a different opinion to your own - I strongly suggest you seek professional help on the matter.
Watched a documentary about education, everyone speaking perfect English. I couldn't work out what part of UK it was. The education method seemed strange, turned out they were in Sweden.
Good video, nice city with much to do. However, I am not a fan of this cashless system as all transactions are/can be traced (with actual freedom limited) and much can be lost in a cyber attack. It seems like Stockholm is the most cashless city in the world.
11:50 I'm just an old man, but I still belive you would find more bars and clubs on Östermalm and Söder, perhaps even in Vasastan or Kungsholmen, than on central Norrmalm (which is also a pretty ugly area because of the socialists demolitions of cultural heritage in the 1950s, 60s and 70s).
Maybe, but I am correct in saying that there's not much in terms of attractions in Södermalm than there is in other parts of Stockholm, that was the main point.
@@UltimateBucketList Not sure how you mean here, but what's "correct" really depends on your taste and points of view! An attraction for mr A may be unattractive and boring for mr B, and vice versa.
Oh and the king actually doesn't live at the royal palace. To intrude on his personal space...head out to Drottningholms slott and walk around his gardens and gaze upon his "house".
I'd prefere that you have pronounced all swedish names in an english version. I am swedish and still would have wanted you to say "King's Garden" instead of Kungsträdgården... and so on.
I see your point, but that would probably make it confusing for the viewer if they ever get to Stockholm. The attractions are named in Swedish, so it'd be unreasonable to expect a non-Swedish person to figure out what it is if I listed them in English. At least if I listed the attractions in Swedish, they know what it's called and look for signs for them.
Stockholm is an amazing city and this was another video guide that took more than a week to produce.
Please help me out by sharing this video where you can! It’s so disheartening to work so hard for so few views, and all you’re trying to do is help the world to see these places.
Good karma is much appreciated!
EDIT (24.07.2023) - I've been reliably informed that the Nobel Prizes are awarded at the Concert Hall, not City Hall - and AVICII Arena is not named for sponsorship reasons.
I just arrived from there and WHAT A CITY ❤ I fell in love with it
Yes, I agree. What a city! Very walkable and full of culture.
Amazing. A capital city with no skyscrapers. Bravo, Sweden !
Yes indeed. Stockholm managed to retain it's history without over constructing glass and concrete skyscrapers that blight most other cities.
Another comprehensive travel guide Ninh, far better than the tv travel shows.

Agreed. I think 180-240SEK is enough.
Imagine if the price of the Arlanda Express was the same price as trains here in the U.S.? I believe the U.S economy would be booming.

Despite a division of class, Stockholm remains a great city, but I prefer and enjoy the city of Copenhagen Denmark, much more, where there is a good balance of places to see and a fun loving outgoing people to go with it!
Well, I have to report about my findings as I experienced them. Obviously if you experienced something different, I respect your opinion, but please note that respect works both ways. As for Copenhagen - I made a video guide about that too. Fabulous city!
I WAS THERE IN 2016
It's a really cool city, isn't it?
Love Sweden, its Blonde Beautifuls, and now having seen their Oh-So-Beautiful Stockholm, love Swedes even more.
Thank you Mr Ultimate Bucket List ! but please note, if we ever crossed paths in life, you would probably kick the bucket for the crime of calling ABBA songs 'cheesy''. On the day I'm feeling merciful, at the very least, expect some of your front teeth knocked back. (I 'm actually rather sensitive these days about why so many people around the world have so many teeth). Sweden I love you, expect to see me at all the places in this video someday soon.
Yes I agree with Stockholm and Swedes being amazing people in general.
The term 'cheesy music' is actually a good thing where I'm from, and if you checked out my channel, you'll realise I'm an ABBA fan too. However, if you feel the need to exact violence and threaten death to someone you perceive has a different opinion to your own - I strongly suggest you seek professional help on the matter.
can you do a bergen city guide
The next time I'm in Bergen, sure.
Did you do this in 1 or 2 days... or more?
I think I did everything in about 3 days. You could do it in two if you only wanted to see a few things.
Watched a documentary about education, everyone speaking perfect English. I couldn't work out what part of UK it was. The education method seemed strange, turned out they were in Sweden.
Sounds about right. Everyone in Sweden does speak pretty much perfect English.
What happened to all Copenhagen stuff?
I've not had time to edit the extra Copenhagen videos yet. They might take a while.
European cities are beautiful
They certainly are. Especially this one - probably my favourite out of the Scandinavian capitals.
25:13 🎶I’ll be there for you…🎶
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
I think if Friends was still going, it'd probably be what most people think it is?
@@UltimateBucketList Well… It was mandatory for me to quote that song with a stadium name like that… lol!
You are showing a picture of Stockholm's biggest antagonist...Göteborg...why?
Where exactly?
@@UltimateBucketList 1:05 in you have skansen kronan a old defense tower in Gothenburg.
Good video, nice city with much to do. However, I am not a fan of this cashless system as all transactions are/can be traced (with actual freedom limited) and much can be lost in a cyber attack. It seems like Stockholm is the most cashless city in the world.
I actually agree with you. Having a cashless society isn't a good thing. The only people that win from this are the banks.
11:50 I'm just an old man, but I still belive you would find more bars and clubs on Östermalm and Söder, perhaps even in Vasastan or Kungsholmen, than on central Norrmalm (which is also a pretty ugly area because of the socialists demolitions of cultural heritage in the 1950s, 60s and 70s).
Maybe, but I am correct in saying that there's not much in terms of attractions in Södermalm than there is in other parts of Stockholm, that was the main point.
@@UltimateBucketList Not sure how you mean here, but what's "correct" really depends on your taste and points of view! An attraction for mr A may be unattractive and boring for mr B, and vice versa.
Turists: "Ah the longest sitting swedish regent...and the silver decorated throne which he sits on..."
Swedes: "What did the king do this time?!"
😂
Oh and the king actually doesn't live at the royal palace. To intrude on his personal space...head out to Drottningholms slott and walk around his gardens and gaze upon his "house".
Yes I'm fully aware that the Kind doesn't really live at the Royal Palace, and I did cover Drottningholm Palace towards the end of the video.
Can I get guide number, or travel agency in stockholm
1.08 into the video, thats not Stockholm. Its Gothenburg. Nice work. 🤦♂️
It’s as if someone asked chat gpt to make a video
I think one cursory look at the video and anyone would realise that ChatGPT had nothing to do with this.
I'd prefere that you have pronounced all swedish names in an english version. I am swedish and still would have wanted you to say "King's Garden" instead of Kungsträdgården... and so on.
I see your point, but that would probably make it confusing for the viewer if they ever get to Stockholm.
The attractions are named in Swedish, so it'd be unreasonable to expect a non-Swedish person to figure out what it is if I listed them in English.
At least if I listed the attractions in Swedish, they know what it's called and look for signs for them.
Amazing video. Thank you!
Thanks very much!
