Things to Do in Stockholm – 10 Smart Tips for Business Travelers

A guide from Företagsbostäder for making the most of your work trip

Introduction

Stockholm is one of Europe’s most dynamic business cities – a hub for innovation,
sustainability, and global companies. Every week, thousands of consultants and project
teams arrive for short- and long-term assignments. At Företagsbostäder, we offer fully furnished corporate apartments in prime locations around the city. Here are 10 local tips to help you get more out of your business trip to Stockholm.

1. Start your day with a run in Hagaparken (near Vasastan/Solna)

Many of our apartments are close to green areas like Hagaparken. Take a morning jog by
the water or a peaceful walk through the park before your first meeting.

2. Work in peace, from your apartment

Our apartments are set up for focus and productivity: dedicated workspace, fast Wi-Fi, and a calm environment. Ideal for remote meetings, planning, or catching up on emails without hotel distractions.

3. Business lunch in Vasastan or Östermalm

Staying with Företagsbostäder means you’re close to excellent lunch spots. Try Brasserie
Balzac, Surfers, or Pascal – all popular among professionals for fast, high-quality meals.

4. Unwind after work – at a rooftop bar or on your balcony

Wrap up the day at TAK, one of Stockholm’s best rooftop lounges. Prefer a quieter end to
your day? Many of our apartments have balconies or nearby parks where you can relax after work.

5. Visit a coworking space for networking

Need a change of scenery or more office amenities? Spaces like The Park (near Södra
Station) and No18 (at Central Station) are easy to access from our apartments and offer
both focus and networking opportunities.

6. Squeeze in culture during lunch – Fotografiska or Stadsmuseet

If you’re staying near Södermalm, Fotografiska is a great spot for a quick exhibition and
lunch. Other options include the Stockholm City Museum or ArkDes on Skeppsholmen.

7. Get around easily with an SL travel card

All our apartments are located close to public transportation, so exploring neighborhoods
like Södermalm, Kungsholmen, and Norrmalm is simple. Grab an SL card and make the
most of your free time.

8. Staying for the weekend? Take a boat to Fjäderholmarna

Just 30 minutes by boat from central Stockholm, Fjäderholmarna offers craft shops,
restaurants, and peaceful nature – a perfect escape if your business trip includes a
weekend.

9. Make everyday life easy – cook or dine locally

Don’t feel like dining out every night? Every Företagsbostäder apartment comes with a full
kitchen. But if you want to try local restaurants, there are always great options around the corner.

10. End the day with a view – Skinnarviksberget or Hammarbybacken

Unwind with a panoramic view of the city. Try Skinnarviksberget if you're near Södermalm or
Hammarbybacken if you're based near Årsta or Hammarby Sjöstad.

Conclusion

A work trip isn’t just about meetings – it’s about making your everyday life function smoothly.
With Företagsbostäder, you get comfort, flexibility, and a homelike experience while staying close to both the office and everything Stockholm has to offer.
