This yr Easter falls on the concluding weekend of March. As a visitor to Stockholm, hither are to a greater extent than or less practical things to know: both Fri March 29th (Good Fri - Långfredag) as well as Mon Apr 1st (Annandag Påsk) are banking concern holidays inwards Sweden, which agency that banks, smaller shops & boutiques every bit good every bit liquor stores (Systembolaget) volition hold upward closed. Easter Dominicus (Påsk) is, of course, a holiday. But, too the to a higher house mentioned, well-nigh museums, region stores, restaurants as well as shopping centers are opened upward every bit usual... amongst possibly shorter opening hours for sure days. Th Apr fifth (Skärtorsdag) is a especial day. While non a holiday, many utilization workers utilization it every bit a half-day inwards anticipation of their long weekend. The solely top dog museums I tin uncovering that convey odd opening hours during the Easter Holidays are Historiska (history museum) which is unopen on Fri as well as Sabbatum and Livrustkammaren (the imperial armoury) which is unopen on Friday. Be aware that several museums are unopen on Mondays during the depression season. The sightseeing tours will run every bit normal. The Vasa Museum and The National Museum are unopen during this menses for renovations/expansion.
The best house to sense a traditional Swedish Easter is Skansen on the island of Djurgården. There volition hold upward music inwards Seglora church, Easter activities for children every bit good every bit an Easter Market (11am to 4pm Thursday-Monday) where you lot tin purchase traditional arts & crafts, foods as well as Easter decorations. It is slow to give-up the ghost to Skansen from the Rival Hotel... regular ferries to Djurgården from Slussen (10 infinitesimal walk from the hotel, ferry ride is also 10 minutes). If you lot are invitee of the hotel as well as ask specific opening hours for a store or museum, contact me straight at the hotel!
Happy Easter!
