When to go
From our 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.A city built across 14 islands with a 30,000-island archipelago at its doorstep — usually 22–24°C, the steamboats running out to Sandhamn and Vaxholm, Gamla Stan and Djurgården on foot. Like Oslo and Copenhagen it catches a 28–30°C spell some summers; the water is always the escape.
