Opening soon: Coming and new attractions in Stockholm 2025

Attractions and culture

• Avicii Arena reopened in early February after having been closed for over a year. The revamped sports -and concert arena has been outfitted with new seating, new lighting -and sound rig, new isolation for better acoustics, and much more.
• Stockholm's third national park, joining Tyresta and Ängsö, is set to open on Nämdö in the archipelago. The new park will encompass the Bullerö, Långskär, Långviksskär, and Biskopsö nature reserves and will offer both marine vistas, wind-swept islets and skerries, and serene forests. The national park is set to open in the fall of 2025.
• House of Q is set to be a new cultural hub in Värtahamnen, located in a former industrial building. The new venue is set to be a meeting place for queer and LGBTQ culture, with 3400 square meters of bars, restaurants and event spaces. No further details have been released, although the opening is planned for Winter 2025,

• A new visitors center and studio museum dedicated to abstract pioneer Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) will open in Adelsö, Ekerö. The prolific Swedish artist lived and worked on the island for most of her life, but didn't gain worldwide fame until 2018 with a record-breaking exhibition at the Guggenheim in New York.
• The Stockholm Archipelago Trail opened in late 2024 and is Stockholm's newest hiking trail. Divided into 20 legs, of varying length and difficulty, the trail is spread across 21 islands – from Arholma in the North to Landsort in the South – and takes hikers through pristine nature and picturesque fishing hamlets. A perfect way to explore what National Geographic has named as one of the World's best destinations in 2025.
• The National Museum of Science and Technology's new branch is set to open before the year's end. Details are scarce about the satellite's exact location and programming, located in the northern suburb of Tensta. But the Museum hopes to make it a meeting place for the local community and a way to get more teenagers interested in the natural sciences.

Restaurants and cafés

• Katarinahuset at Slussen continues to become a gastronomic hotspot as restauranteur Acki Kokotos opens his new venture. The still-unnamed restaurant will be a French bistro located on the building's ground floor, joining restaurants like Gondolen, Pelago, and Pet Sounds Bar.
• Beloved local diner Enskede Matateljé closed in 2024, but is set to re-open in a new location; Slakthusområdet. The restaurant will join the likes of Solen, Afrika Sthlm, and Bar Montan in what has become one of Stockholm's new gastronomic hotspots.
• Hospitality -and restaurant group Nobis will open two new restaurants located in the underpass of Slussen's Guldbron ("The Golden Bridge"). Although details about the new restaurants are yet to be revealed, one of them will be a joint venture with Michelin-starred chef Filip Fastén.
• Renowned culinary address Sturehof is set to grow considerably. The classic restaurant is already one of Stockholm's largest and will, during the year, open new dining rooms and bars to a total area of 2600 m² (from its previous size of 1600 m²). Sturehof opened in 1897 and has long been a watering hole for Stockholm's cultural and political scene. Ingmar Bergman, Dag Hammarskjöld, and Harriet Andersson were all regulars. The sotare (fried herring, served with potatoes on crisp bread) is said to have been Ingrid Bergman's favorite dish.
