Local attractions
Stockholm is famous for its museums. As a matter of fact, the whole city is home to more than 70, which range from royally-inspired institutions to small, specialized centers. A list of the most famous includes the Noble Museum, Museum of Natural History, Butterfly House, and the Armory Museum. In addition to cultural museums, art galleries are also worth checking out, especially the world-famous Millesgarden and Gallery Magnus Karlsson.
The Royal Palaces also play an important part in Stockholm’s thriving tourism industry. Stockholm Palace is extremely popular, but so too are Haga and Drottningholm. To the east of the city, the 80-km-long Stockholm Archipelago can be found. It is comprised of more than 24,000 islands, some of which are nothing more than small islets. You will need more than a day to uncover its entire beauty.
