Book a gin weekend with us
When the leaves change colour, Stockholm transforms into a city full of autumn atmosphere. From walks along the water and parks to cafes and cultural experiences – autumn is perfect for a weekend in the capital.
Autumn transforms Stockholm into an explosion of colour with red, yellow, and orange leaves, and the city is perfect for walking. Djurgården offers both quiet forest paths and open views over the water – here you can walk along beautiful quays, stop at small piers, or have a coffee at one of the cafes along the way. At Tantolunden in Södermalm, cosy paths and picnic areas await, perfect for a leisurely walk or a short break with a packed lunch. If you want panoramic views of the city and water, Monteliusvägen is a must – from here, you can see Riddarfjärden and the city's rooftops in spectacular autumn light, and it's an excellent place to take photos or just enjoy the view. No matter where you go, autumn walks in Stockholm are an easy way to enjoy beautiful colours, fresh air, and the city's calm pulse.
In Södermalm, there are many cafes that are perfect during autumn walks. At Pascal by Södermalmstorg, you can enjoy freshly baked buns and cakes in a classic and comfortable environment. Lykke by Nytorget offers tranquility and fine seasonal pastries with views over the square. For espresso lovers, Il Caffè on Götgatan is a must, while Johan & Nyström attracts with carefully roasted beans and creative coffee variations. At Drop Coffee on Södermannagatan, hand-brewed coffee is served with precision, perfect for sitting down or taking away.
When the autumn rain falls, Stockholm's museums and exhibitions are perfect places to spend the day. Fotografiska in Södermalm always showcases current and exciting photo exhibitions, and from here, you also have a fantastic view over the city's rooftops and water – perfect for both art lovers and photographers.
