That thrilling experience is exactly what you’ll get at Questrooms, an escape room in Stockholm that you’ll find near Medborgarplatsen in Södermalm.

Everyone should be able to join the fun. And if you want to try the virtual world, Questrooms has launched Stockholm’s first VR escape room with action-packed adventures where you can choose anything from Indiana Jones to Halloween themes.

Hot air balloon rides

Fancy some breathtaking views of the city? Go on a hot balloon ride
Do you dream of hovering above the Swedish capital with stunning views in all directions? Flying a hot air balloon over Stockholm can make your dream come true. There are several companies offering flights that will take you on a real high-flying experience in Stockholm, where you’ll slowly float at an altitude of around 300 meters and calmly take in all the beauty down on the ground – from nature to iconic buildings.
Most companies have offered hot air balloon rides for many years. They can take parties of 2 to 22 people, but between 6 and 12 people are the most common. In other words, it’s perfect for bringing your family or friends on an exciting adventure. Under the guidance of a professional balloon pilot, you will fly a distance of 8-15 km, and the experience often ends with the traditional champagne toast for newly inaugurated balloonists. In addition, you’ll get a nice diploma as a souvenir. You can fly hot air balloons all year round, summer or winter, so go ahead and find your company here.
Icebar
Icebar is made of ice – and even the glasses you’re served drinks in are made of ice. The artistically designed interior is sculpted from 40 tons of natural ice from the river Torneälven and is spectacular, to say the least. Moreover, it’s torn down and rebuilt every year, always with a new theme. The entrance fee includes a 45-minute visit and a drink (children are also welcome and served a colorful non-alcoholic drink). All visitors can borrow a thermal cape and a pair of gloves to keep warm.
Icebar delivers a memorable experience, whatever the occasion. Gather your friends for a great after-work hangout, bring your colleagues for dinner (yes, there’s actually hot food), or celebrate something special with your loved one. The sky is the limit. Welcome to a lightning visit to northern Sweden’s polar magic in the middle of the capital – a fantastic mix of wow and brr.
Upplevelsemuseet
No list of experiences in Stockholm is complete without a museum dedicated to experiences. You’ll find Upplevelsemuseet on the lower level of the Globen shopping mall, and their aim is that both children and adults should have fun when they go to a museum. You shouldn’t just look and read about things but actually experience them – feel, smell, taste, and try.
Try more than 50 things you’ve never experienced before. Dipping your finger in liquid metal, holding an African giant snail, smelling an angry skunk, tasting fried crickets, and challenging your fear of heights in VR are just a few examples. At Upplevelsemuseet, the whole family and all ages can have fun together – younger children, teenagers, mum, dad, grandad, and grandma. A perfect activity for weekends or holidays, and you’re promised a different experience, to say the least.
Candlelight Concerts

Imagine the light from 2,000+ candles (don’t worry they’re LED) fluttering in a beautiful, dramatic space with great acoustics e.g an old cathedral, gallery or a historical landmark. In this beautiful sett ing you can experience talented classical local musicians playing Vivaldi, Chopin, or Beethoven, but also a more modern approach of tribute concerts to great musicians/bands such as Queen, Coldplay, Taylor Swift or even Abba.
A candlelight concert is just 60 minutes, perfect for first-time classical performance goers, but also a great idea to squeeze in before a nice dinner out and make the evening just that little bit more extra. Fever has succeeded in bringing classical music to a brand new audience and bridging the gap between the older and younger generations, with 70% of these candlelight concert goers under the age of 40. Check the website for upcoming concerts and get ready to be blown away!
