Exploring Stockholm for free

Street performers in Stockholm, Sweden

Since TBEX Europe is coming to Stockholm next July and will bring with it 700-800 travel bloggers, most of whom are on tight budgets, I wanted to round up a list of 50 free things to do in Stockholm. Stockholm isn’t the cheapest city in the world so hopefully these tips would be helpful.

As much as I try to convince travelers to Stockholm to stay longer and travel slower, and that my city isn’t as expensive as they assume, it’s still on the higher end by European city standards.

That said, there are many ways you can enjoy lots of free things to do in Stockholm and I’ve compiled activities, local experiences, and events that appeal to a variety of tastes. Some of these experiences are seasonal and I’ve denoted them if so.

Head over to my editorial site, Slow Travel Stockholm, for the full list for exploring Stockholm on the cheap.

  1. I can’t wait to visit Stockhom next year for TBEX. I admit that the prices do frighten me Lola but I have dedicated 2 weeks for Sweden in the hope that I really get to visit it and also that I’ll be able to go to Norway while I’m there. Gulp!
    I went to Helsinki a few months ago and almost had a heart attack at the prices. We ended up eating sushi pretty much the whole time. It was far cheaper LOL!

  2. What a great idea!
