Where to get some height in Stockholm?
The Stockholm Skyview is one of the highest points in Stockholm, and an activity we recommend when visiting the city.
Inaugurated in 2010, it offers a unique opportunity to admire the city from the top of the Ericsson Globe, the world’s largest spherical building.
Visitors board a glass gondola that glides along the curve of the Globe, rising to 130 metres above sea level. From this exceptional vantage point, you can contemplate sweeping panoramic views of Stockholm, from the bustling city center to the peaceful waters of the archipelago.

Skyview is located in the Johanneshov district of southern Stockholm. It’s easily accessible by public transport, with the metro taking the green line at T-Centralen to the Globen stop (around 20 minutes from the city center), or by car, with parking available nearby.

Our tips for your visit
- Best time to visit: For the clearest views, opt for a visit on a sunny day. Early morning or late afternoon often offer softer light for photography. Don’t forget the sunset!
- Weather considerations: Skyview works in most weather conditions, but visibility may be affected by heavy fog or snow.
Our opinion: a family activity
This is undoubtedly one of our best views of Stockholm. From the top of the Ericsson Globe, the 360-degree view reveals not only the expanse of the city, but also the harmony between urbanism and the surrounding nature. From above, it’s a very green city!
Skyview is an adventure for all ages. The safety and comfort of the glass gondola mean that even the youngest or most reluctant climbers can enjoy the ride without worry (even those suffering from vertigo). It’s a fun way to appreciate the city from a unique perspective, making it an educational and entertaining experience for children.
To get the most out of your stay, we recommend the Norrmalm and Östermalm districts. These districts are located right in the center of Stockholm, so you can easily reach the main points of interest without spending too much time outside, in case of very cold weather.
For smaller budgets, the Södermalm district may be a good alternative. We advise you to book in advance, as accommodation quickly fills up in high season.
