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.

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.

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.

New and trendy restaurants

Stockholm Stadshotel is a new exclusive 34-room boutique hotel at Medborgarplatsen on Södermalm. The hotel is located in Oscar I:s Minne, a culturally significant palace from 1875 that's been a flop house, a clinic, and an office building through the years until it was vacated in the late 2010s. The new hotel's restaurant and bar opened in late 2024, and it opened for bookings in February 2025.
Set to open in the fall of 2025, Hagastrand is a new destination hotel in northern Stockholm. The hotel will feature several activities, a spa and wellness section, and conference rooms. The new hotel is located overlooking Lake Brunnsviken, in Hagaparken, and is just a short walk from Haga Palace.

Archipelago classic Waxholms Hotell will re-open in early 2025 under new ownership. The historic hotel accommodated its first guests in 1902 and has been a beloved landmark in the small hamlet of Vaxholm. Bookings have resumed, and plans are to remodel the hotel restaurant and build a new cozy bar.
Several new direct lines have opened to Arlanda airport, making Stockholm even more accessible; Stockholm-Tokyo, Stockholm-Bangkok, Stockholm-Bukarest, Stockholm-Porto, Stockholm-Lyon, and Stockholm-Bilbao.

Fotografiska has become Stockholm's – and Sweden's – premiere venue for photography and photographic art. 2025 marks the gallery's 15th anniversary, which will be celebrated with a series of 18 exhibitions, both retrospective and looking to photography's past and forward-looking, focusing on young and talked-about photographers.
The Thiel Gallery, the former home of art collectors Ernst and Signe Maria Thiel, turns 100 years in 2025. The gallery's centennial will be celebrated with several exhibitions, starting with Together (February 15-August 24).
The Royal National City Park is the first, and so far only, national city park in Sweden. Famous for its unique biotope, with the many oak trees being an important habitat for insects, bugs, and birds, the park covers most of Djurgården and continues northward to Solna and Frescati. The park turns 30 years in 2025, which will be celebrated with several activities and events throughout the year. The official ceremony though will take place on the 19th of May.
