Stockholm city map
The four maps on this page zoom out step by step: a detailed street plan of the central islands, a simpler downtown sheet, Stockholm on the map of Sweden and finally its place in the world. The street plan is the one to print if you plan to explore on foot, as it marks metro stations, bus stops, piers and outdoor bathing spots.
Reading any Stockholm map starts with the water. The city spreads over fourteen islands at the point where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic, and roughly a third of its area is water while another third is park and green space. Norrmalm, with Central Station and the main shopping streets, lies north of the narrow channel; Gamla Stan, the Old Town, sits in the middle; Södermalm rises to the south; and Djurgården, the museum island, is to the east.
About one million people live in the municipality and around 2.5 million in the wider metropolitan area, yet the centre is compact: most visitors can walk from Central Station to the Royal Palace in a quarter of an hour.
Stockholm map
Map of Stockholm city
A detailed street plan of central Stockholm, from Vasastaden and Kungsholmen in the north to Södermalm and Södra Hammarbyhamnen in the south, with Djurgården and Ladugårdsgärdet to the east.
Metro stations, bus stops, piers, museums and even outdoor bathing spots and jogging routes are marked, and a grid lets you find a street quickly. The bottom strip carries advertisements for sightseeing tours, which shows that it was originally a free visitor map.
Stockholm downtown map
Map of downtown Stockholm
A downtown map centred on Gamla Stan, Norrmalm, Östermalm, Skeppsholmen and the western tip of Djurgården.
Numbered pins point to a personal selection of places, listed below the map with their addresses, from the Vasa Museum and Junibacken to City Hall, an ice bar and a historic tavern in the Old Town. The list dates from when the map was made, so check opening details before you go.
Stockholm Sweden map
Map of Stockholm Sweden
This map of Sweden circles Stockholm on the east coast, facing the Baltic Sea and the Åland Islands.
It also shows Norway, Finland, Denmark and the Baltic states, along with the main roads, rivers and cities such as Gothenburg, Malmö and Uppsala. It helps you see that Stockholm is far closer to Helsinki and Tallinn than to the far north of Sweden.
Stockholm on world map
Map of Stockholm in world
A political world map with Stockholm circled in northern Europe.
Country borders, capitals and oceans are all labelled, so it is a handy sheet for a classroom or for showing friends where the trip is heading. Note the Mercator projection, which makes Scandinavia and other northern regions look much larger than they really are.
