Timeline
14:38
Grab a drink at Stampen. This popular jazz club has been running since 1965 and is open until 01:00 on weekdays. It is a cozy place to warm up before heading out into the cold evening air.
15:08
Walk to Skansen. The world's oldest open-air museum is a 41-minute walk from the anchor, but if you are starting from the city center, check the route. As you arrive, take in the view of the zoo and gardens. The golden light starting at 13:55 will be fading, so keep moving toward the best vantage points.
15:23
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the SW at 15:23. Skansen offers expansive views of the city and the water. Find a spot where you can see the sky change color as the light fades. The atmosphere is quiet and reflective as the day ends.
15:53
End the evening at Solliden. Located on Skansen, this restaurant offers a classical Swedish smörgåsbord in the summer months, but the menu is available year-round. It has an astounding view of the inner harbour, perfect for digesting your meal while the city lights begin to twinkle.
Local tip
Skansen is a large area. Wear comfortable shoes and check the opening hours for the specific attractions or restaurants you want to visit, as some may close earlier than the museum grounds themselves. The walk from the city center is long, so plan your transport accordingly.
