The museum island of Djurgården holds most of what you want and is reached by ferry or tram — buy a transport pass rather than paying each time.
Add StockholmWhen to go. May to September for long days — midsummer barely gets dark. Winter is dark and cold and the museums are at their emptiest.

|---|---|
| Entry | No visa for Singapore passport holders for short stays. ETIAS is coming. |
| Time | Six or seven hours behind Singapore depending on the season. |
| Money | Swedish krona, not the euro, and Sweden is the most cashless country in Europe. Many places refuse cash outright — a card is essential. |
| Cost | Expensive, though less so than Denmark or Norway. Lunch deals on weekdays are a third of the evening price. |
| Getting around | Stockholm's metro is cheap and several stations are decorated like caves — the blue line is worth riding for its own sake. |
| Daylight | Midsummer nights barely darken and December has six hours of light. Both are strange with children and worth explaining beforehand. |
| Allemansrätten | The right to roam means you may walk and picnic on almost any land. It comes with the duty to leave no trace. |
| Water | Tap water is excellent. |
