How this list is made
We rank things to do in Stockholm by the Herald score. It weighs recognition (awards, heritage status, a place in the national and regional tourism registers), how much visitors from around the world look for a place, what Sweden Herald readers rate it, and what our editors know from going there. Every place on the list has an address, opening hours and sources we have checked. Paid placement never affects the ranking: a sponsored place is always marked as such and never takes a numbered spot.
