Hotels in Stockholm County, Sweden

Stockholm County, stretching across 14 islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea, has a climate with chilly winters averaging 30°F (-1°C) perfect for ice skating at Kungsträdgården, and mild summers around 68°F (20°C) ideal for hopping between the 30,000 islands of the Stockholm Archipelago by ferry. You can explore 700-year-old Gamla Stan's cobblestone lanes and the Vasa Museum's 17th-century warship, or kayak through the calm waters of Djurgården's canals-just pack layers for sudden weather shifts. The county splits into the urban buzz of central Stockholm with its ABBA Museum and Fotografiska gallery, and the serene outer islands like Sandhamn where sailing and seafood shacks rule the summer.
