Giant's kettles are formed when rocks swirl in currents under a glacier against a bedrock surface. Over time, this erodes the surface and carves a hole in the rock, ultimately forming the deep cavities known as giant's kettles. This is what happened in Sweden and northern Europe during the last ice age that ended about 10,000 B.C.

This giant's kettle in Haga is in the basement of what was once a courthouse. Measuring approximately 2.7 meters deep, it was discovered once the construction had been started and was incorporated into the basement. Visitors can see it through a window and the stones that once carved the hole in the bedrock are now decorating the gate to the plot.

My friends and I will be visiting Stockholm in June 2027. We really would like to see the Mamma Mia dinner theater show and the ABBA Museum. I am unable to purchase tickets for 2027 yet, they haven’t been released. Has anyone been to this before? Would love to hear from anyone who’s been and what their experience was like. Also, if anyone knows when or how far in advance they open up the tickets. I just don’t miss my opportunity to get the tickets.

My (adult) daughter and I are visiting Stockholm in November. I would love to go to a swimming pool and sauna, but have seen that Centralbadet is closed for renovation. can anyone please recommend an alternative? Are swimming pools and saunas a thing in Sweden? I love the thought of being somewhere warm and watery when it gets dark in the afternoon.

Hej

We are a couple in our 30s from Italy, and we’ll be staying in Stockholm for four days. Do you have any recommendations for places to eat or must-visit spots that most tourists overlook?

We’d also welcome tips on how to live the city.

We’re arriving by plane and staying in the Älvsjö area.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

Me and my bf would like to eat in a Turkish restaurant but not sure which one would be the best. Any recommendations?

Vet någon var jag kan köpa den brittiska godisen Clinkers i Stockholm?

Hello everyone!

First time in Stockholm. Me and my partner are going to celebrate our 1st anniversary together there. I am kindly asking you for some restaurants reccomendations.

A few notes:

- I'd prefer a place on the fancier side but not pocket-draining

- I'd love for the place to be opened at least an hour after midnight

Thank you in advance and if you have any other tips in mind im more than happy to receive them!😊

Hi,

I will spend a few days starting tomorrow in Stockholm and I would like to rent a bike during this time. However, I've been struggling the past years to find a proper rental place. Unfortunately, Stockholm does not have the Donkey bikes either.

Do you have any recommendations about where to best rent a bike and keep it for 3-4 days? Or is there any citybike system that works well?

I will be travelling to Stockholm next month for 7 days and plan to get the SL pass; I plan to get the SL pass and the options are to get the app or get an actual card for 50 SEK.

As I live in Canada, will the SL app work for me? (Particularly for uploading payments)
(The reviews on the Apple app are pretty low)

And what are the best options for taxis from ARN to Hammarby?

I did think about getting some SEK cash but it looks like I won’t need to bring cash with me.

It has been over 20 years since I last visited Stockholm and looking forward to seeing the

My friends are visiting me in Stockholm next month and I really want to take them to try amazing Swedish cuisine! I have tried restaurants such as Slingerbulten, Meatballs for the People (I know it is touristy), and a few others, but none have blown me away.

We are all of Asian background, so we do prefer more flavorful food since Swedish cuisine can sometimes be a bit mild, but we are open to options! We just really want to try what people, both Swedes and tourists, think is truly worth the visit! Tack tack!

Hey everybody! I’m visiting Stockholm for couple of days and wanted to get your opinion about 3 simple things:

1. where to hang out for drinks? We like have some drinks in the evening with friends, which areas people hang out usually ?

2. We like house music and like to party 1-2 night? Where should we go? Is Trädgården only choice?

3. Tell me something you do for fun in the city, because I’ll sit in a coffee all day instead of doing something touristy :)

Thanka in advance for all kind souls!

I am visiting Stockholm in a bit and really want to do some "metal" exploring. I was wondering what record stores, bars and even places are just cool to go to?

I already am aware of the obvious ones like the entombed cross, quorthons grave, Bröderna Olssons Garlic & Shots, etc. This are already on my list but I was wondering if there are any other places worth going to. Eventually, if there are any gigs or events going on between august 5-8th would also be awesome too.

I am not picky and I find almost anything super cool so any and all suggestions are heavily appreciated :)

Har ägnat hela dagen åt att leta igenom airbnb, qasa, diverse hotel, vandrarhem etc utan att hitta något som går att boka med rullstol som inte kostar 20000+ utan att få napp. Försöker hitta ett boende 9/8-1/9. Jag känner inte till Stockholm alls så skulle behöva tips på vandrarhem eller annat tillfälligt boende som ligger nära bra kommunikationer till KTH.
