    Zinkensdamms Idrottsplats

    Bandy matches, a uniquely Scandinavian phenomenon, take place all winter at Stockholm’s ice arenas. Head over to Zinkensdamms Idrottsplats, where watching a bandy match is great fun. The sport, a precursor to ice hockey but with more players (11 to a side) and less fighting, has grown massively popular since the rise of the Hammarby team in the late ’90s. There’s a round vinyl ball instead of a puck, and the rules are similar to football, except that you hit the ball with a stick instead of kicking it. The season lasts from November to March, so make sure you bring your own thermos of kaffekask – a warming mix of coffee and booze. For the low-down on upcoming matche…

  4. Stockholmsightseeing

    Operates frequent cruises from early April to mid-December around the central bridges and canals from Strömkajen (near the Grand Hôtel; Map pp52-3, G6) and Nybroplan; tickets are available from departure points. Some of the one-hour tours are free for Stockholm Card holders, but the two-hour tour, Under the Bridges of Stockholm (tickets Skr190), is the most enlightening option. The 75-minute Winter Tour (mid-December to early April; tickets Skr180 to Skr240) takes in the city and archipelago islands of Fjäderholmarna on an ice-breaking boat.

    City Sightseeing

    City Sightseeing runs daily 1½-hour coach tours of the city (Skr240) departing from Gustav Adolfs Torg. Both the 2½-hour tour (Skr330, April to mid-December) and 3½-hour tour (Skr395, including light lunch, early May to mid-September) combine the coach tour with a boat tour around Djurgården and the city’s closest archipelago islands (Skr395, 2½ hours). One-hour walking tours around Gamla Stan (Skr100, late June to August) are also available.

    Sturebadet

    Old Norse meets Ottoman chic at Stockholm’s poshest pool, gym and spa, once the haunt of Greta Garbo and still a favourite with the rich and famously frazzled. For full-on Scandi bliss, try the Samezen treatment (Skr1590, 80 minutes), choreographed to Sami jojk music and performed in a tepee-inspired room. While day passes are readily available, treatments should be booked two weeks in advance.

    Kungsans Isbana

    Kitsch and endearing in equal measure, this popular winter ice rink in Kungsträdgården is the perfect antidote to sightseeing overload. Surrounded by icons like St Jakobs Kyrka and the omnipresent NK sign, it’s a great place to exercise, exorcise, crash into a hottie or simply sing along to A-ha’s Take On Me.

    Centralbadet

    Sturebadet’s humbler rival, this loveable art nouveau spa centre is the perfect spot for a thermal dip, soak or workout.
