Everything Else

Several Stockholm's metro stations are in the top of the list of the most beautiful stations in the world. For instant this one: Stadium.
At T-centralen station check out the 1950s tiling and reliefs on the walls, while at the Arsenalsgatan, exit of Kungsträdgården station (blue line), you’ll see an archaeological dig consisting of ancient columns and details. Solna Centrum station stands out for its cavernous, bright red ceiling that seems to 'weigh down' on the platform. Meanwhile the walls of the station depict a spruce forest that is one kilometre long.
Tip - for the price of a valid metro ticket you can join a guided tour http://sl.se/en/eng-info/contact/art-walks/ (summer only)

Arts & Culture
Famous museum of photography. Tips: its opening hours are very long (closes at 11 pm or 1 am, depending on the day) - so it is perfect spot to finish your day. The museum restaurant is considered as one of the best museum restaurants, but I would highlight the cafe that is not crowded and have amazing views over the city.
