Photography exhibitions, award-winning food, and Stockholm’s most beautiful view, all in one place
Make Fotografiska your ultimate destination and one of the top things to do in Stockholm this summer! With breathtaking photography, award-winning food, our sunny outdoor terrace serving refreshing drinks, and arguably Stockholm's finest view, we gather the very best of summer under one roof.
Starting June 22, the Fotografiska boat will also sail daily from Nybrokajen, allowing you to sit back and enjoy a smooth scenic journey right to our doorstep.
THE VERANDA – OUTDOOR DINING WITH STOCKHOLMS BEST WATERFRONT VIEW
At Fotografiska’s veranda, you can enjoy a refreshing cocktail menu and relax with the absolute best waterfront view in town, right in the heart of Stockholm's summer pulse. The harbor entrance, the Royal Palace, Djurgården, and Gröna Lund are all part of the magical scenery as the sun sets over the city. If you are looking for the perfect outdoor bar or terrace in Stockholm for a summer night, you have found it.
Open daily: July 1 – August 15.
THE FOTOGRAFISKA BOAT – TAKE THE FERRY FROM NYBROKAJEN DIRECTLY TO THE ENTRANCE
Make the journey part of the experience and hop on the Fotografiska boat at Nybrokajen, arriving right outside our museum entrance in just 15 minutes! Our convenient, fully electric passenger ferry operates daily throughout the summer (June 22–August 16) and even stops by the Royal Palace on the return trip.
THE BISTRO – SUSTAINABLE RESTAURANT AND DINING IN SÖDERMALM
Take a seat in our Bistro for a well-deserved break. Here, we serve a seasonal, flavorful, and award-winning menu that is perfect for a delicious lunch, a weekend brunch with bubbles in Södermalm, or just coffee and snacks in good company. Always enjoyable, always sustainable.
