Go-karting is a fantastic racing experience, with tight turns and fast acceleration. The cars are easy to steer, and because you sit so close to the ground, you get an unbeatable speed feeling.
It’s a great activity with friends, family, or work colleagues (and a perfect gift for motorsport fans). Whether it’s a hangout with friends, family day, bachelorette party, bachelor party, birthday celebration, team building, or kick-off on the agenda, go-karting will be a success.
Find the right place for go-karting in Stockholm
Stockholm and the surrounding area have a lot to offer those who want an adrenaline-filled day at the go-kart track. There are many great facilities – both indoor and outdoor – where everyone from experienced drivers to curious beginners can hone their driving skills. Many tracks also offer go-karting for children, so the whole family can drive and have fun together.
But with so many options, it’s not easy to find the right place. That’s why we’ve put together a guide to places where you and your driving buddies can go-kart in Stockholm. Just book, put on your racing mood, get behind the wheel, put pedal to the metal, and see who’s the racing star of your group. Helmets and overalls (even for rain) are usually available to borrow.
Gokart Stadion Ös-We Ring
Gokart Stadion Ös-We Ring, located in a scenic area near Upplands Väsby north of Stockholm, boasts Sweden’s oldest go-kart track in original condition (built in 1966). The facility has go-karts for both juniors and seniors and 23 cars can drive simultaneously on the 654-meter-long track. You can either come here for a drop-in or book one of the packages with everything from classic go-karts to long races where you compete in teams. If you want to become a more skilled driver, there’s also a go-kart school.
For families with little speed enthusiasts, Gokart Stadion Ös-We Ring is also the only go-kart track in Stockholm that offers racing for all ages. Their colorful and fun kid-racers go at 10 km/h and can be driven by children as young as 0-6 years (adults can of course ride along if needed). It’s also possible to book a kid’s birthday party on the track where the birthday child plus friends can drive kid-racers and then feast on hot dogs and ice cream.
The facility also has a café that offers simple food, coffee, candy, and drinks if you get hungry after the race.
Racehall Stockholm
Racehall Stockholm is Sweden’s largest indoor go-kart track, and you’ll find it in Botkyrka just south of Stockholm. The large and modern hall (which is also the country’s most environmentally friendly) offers a fantastic go-karting experience where the track is a full 1 kilometer long, 8 meters wide, and can accommodate over 30 go-karts at the same time. With well-designed tracks and high-performance go-karts (top speed 80 km/h), you also have maximum conditions for fast-paced driving with rapid lap times.
But Racehall Stockholm offers more than just top-notch racing. The building has two floors, and on the upper level is O’Leary’s sports restaurant with 170 seats. There you can follow everything happening on the track via TV screens and panoramic windows while enjoying good food and drinks (they serve both lunch and dinner).
In short, Racehall is a fantastic destination for both big and small go-kart fans – whether you’re an amateur or a professional – where you’re guaranteed a memorable experience. In addition, the facility is perfect for companies that want to combine a conference or event with an action-packed activity.

If you want to go go-karting in Stockholm at a great indoor facility, head to O’Learys in Kista, located in the mall Kista Galleria. There are several different packages to choose from and the fleet includes 22 electric Sodi RSX2 racing karts, the world’s most advanced indoor go-kart, with a top speed of 72 km/h. In other words, everything you need for an energetic adventure. The age limit is 18 years, but minors (who are at least 145 cm tall) can drive in the company of a guardian.
Should you be in the mood for more fun activities after the go-karting, O’Learys Kista also offers bowling and shuffleboard.

Järfälla Hyrkart
The track, one of Stockholm’s largest, has been around since 1982 and offers a challenging and pulse-raising mix of difficult curves and long straights. In addition, it’s approved for real racing karts and therefore has smooth and fine asphalt. You can either book a go-kart race or come spontaneously for a drop in.
The indoor track is about 250 meters long and 7-9 meters wide, so you have plenty of room for overtaking and racing. For more experienced drivers, hungry for real speed, the facility also offers rental of real racing karts. These extra-fast 125 cc karts have 28 horsepower and can reach breathtaking speeds of over 100 km/h. Järfälla Hyrkart also organizes go-kart schools and competitions. In addition, the hall has a café, conference rooms, the go-kart shop SODA Kart, and a large terrace.
Stockholm Action Center

These small, tough boats take you close to the water’s surface on a challenging course, reaching speeds of up to 25 knots. So sitting calmly in the boat can be a bit of a challenge…
