About what you read here. Access Stockholm is an independent guide written from published, checkable sources — museum and transport operators’ own information, official city and tourism data, and the public record. We have not visited the places we write about, and we do not publish personal recommendations or invented “local favourites”. Where we point to something notable we say who says so.
Opening times, fares, closures and prices change, often at short notice. Everything here is a starting point, not a booking confirmation — always check the venue’s or operator’s own site before you build a day around it. We are not a travel agency and we give no advice on visas, insurance, health or safety requirements; for those, use your own government’s official guidance.
We do not book anything. Access Stockholm is a guide. It sells nothing, takes no bookings or reservations, handles no payments, and holds no tickets, rooms or seats. Some links here lead to travel companies, and some of those are affiliate links that may earn this site a commission at no extra cost to you. Any booking you make is a contract between you and that company, under its own terms, prices and cancellation rules. We are not a party to it and have no responsibility for it — including availability, prices, changes, cancellations, refunds or anything that goes wrong on the trip. Check the details with the company before you pay.
