Tours & Experiences in Stockholm

Stockholm is ridiculously photogenic, whether you’re walking through Gamla Stan or sailing between its islands. Visit the Vasa Museum, cruise the archipelago or explore Södermalm, then settle in somewhere stylish for drinks and watch Stockholm’s effortlessly cool crowd go by.


Gay friendly hotels in Stockholm

Stockholm’s LGBTQ+ scene is spread across the city rather than concentrated in one gay district, so a central hotel is usually the easiest choice. Norrmalm puts shopping, sightseeing and transport close at hand, while Södermalm offers a more relaxed, creative atmosphere with plenty of bars and restaurants. Thanks to Stockholm’s excellent transport, the gay nightlife is easy to reach from either. GayMapper’s recommended gay-friendly hotels range from quirky and affordable stays to stylish waterfront properties and five-star treats.
