Swedish capital charms everyone with its unusual architecture, colourful buildings, and “lagom” lifestyle. Stockholm is rich with unique places that will boost your feed. Join us on a visual journey through this Scandinavian city as we are unveiling the top 10 Instagrammable spots in Stockholm.
1. Bridge to Skeppsholmen
From that bridge there is a nice view of Gamla Stan – Stockholm’s old town, and besides, the place allows capturing the crowns attached to the bridge railing. Those seeking challenges can be charmed by the Chapman sailing ship, which serves as a youth hostel.
2. Brunkeberg tunnel
When it comes to instaspots in Stockholm, this one is by far the coolest! It is a 231-meter underground shortcut for cyclists and pedestrians in the Norrmalm district. When it’s dark, the tunnel is lit up with different colours!
3. Millesgården
This Instagram location will appeal to lovers of the outdoors. This spectacular museum is built in the former home, terraces, and gardens of artists Carl and Olga Milles. In the park you will find some of Carl Milles’ most famous sculptures. It will look stunning in your pics!
4. Hanami in Kungsträdgården
The Royal Gardens is a public park in the center of Stockholm in Norrmalm. This place attracts especially in spring when the cherry blossom season begins. It turns out that you don’t have to go all the way to Japan to experience real Hanami!
There you will for sure take dozens of stunning pictures which will make your feed “bloom”!
5. Subway stations
The Stockholm subway system is believed to be the longest art exhibition in the world. A journey through it is like a journey through the history of art. More than 90 out of 100 metro stations in Stockholm have been finished in an artistic way – complemented by sculptures, mosaics, paintings, installations, engravings, and bas-reliefs by more than 150 artists.
Here is a list of the top 5 most beautiful metro stations:
T-Centralen: known for its modern ambiance, vibrant blue and white tiles, and LED ceiling.
Solna Centrum: often known as the “Red Line’s Art Gallery,” is home to brilliant works of historical art.
Kungsträdgrden: features sculptures and artifacts from ancient cultures, introducing commuters to Stockholm’s past.
Stadion: featuring rainbow-colored arches along the platform, it has a distinctive and energetic atmosphere.
Tekniska högskolan: reminds one of a laboratory due to its white ceiling panels, columns, and floor tiles.
6. Djurgården
When it comes to instaspots in Stockholm, the attractions of Djurgården Island cannot be overlooked. There is a Nordic museum, a Vasa ship, an open-air museum, historic streets full of old houses, and of course the Tivoli Gröna Lund amusement park. However, if you are looking for the most Instagrammable palace in Stockholm, it is definitely worth venturing to the Orangery and Rosedal Palace. The palace is tiny, pink (perfect for photos), and is surrounded by wonderful cafés where you can stop for a coffee. This is one of the most favourited places of Stockholmers!
7. Photography Museum
This place is a bit of a “joker”. “Instagram” possibilities will depend on the exhibitions at Fotografiska gallery. It’s a photography museum, so it’s kind of a paradox. Here you will find plenty of inspiration and interesting books on how to increase your photographic skills.
The museum also has a café with a wonderful view and delicious coffee.
8. Stortorget
It is a small but charming market square, the real heart of the Old Town. It showcases the colorful tenement houses surrounding it on one side. These colorful architectural masterpieces make a perfect background for your pics!
9. Skeppsbrokajen quay
From the Skeppsbrokajen there is a wonderful panorama of the island of Skeppsholmen. It is the one where the Moderna Museet is located, the Skeppsholmsbron bridge leads to it. Heading towards the island of Skeppsholmen you will easily find the quay. Here is the port from which “ferries-buses” depart, and you can watch the ships pass and arrive. We recommend you going there during the golden hour to enjoy the beautiful sunset or late in the evening to see the city lights.
10. Drottningholm Palace
The palace is located near Lake Mälaren and lush gardens, offering a picturesque background that enhances the beauty of your photos. The perfectly cut bushes, adorned with fountains, statues, and impeccably designed paths, provide elegant and structured compositions for your photography.
