Stockholm University Visitors Guide

Courses usually unfold in the main campus, which is in the Frescati area of Stockholm, just north of the main city. The campus is set in the National City Park, the first space of it’s kind in the world. Open fields, parks, beaches, and – of course – university buildings. The park is also home to a wealth of local and foreign trees and flowers, making it a wonderful environment for students and visitors alike.

Many parts of the campus have a history dating back to the 18th century. We particularly love Bergius Botanic Garden, which has been in it’s setting at lake Brunnsviken since 1885.

It’s easy to get to Stockholm University form the city centre, with metro trains and busses travelling from several areas to the main campus every day. If you’ve visiting form the UK or overseas, why not book a hotel near Stockholm University and add to the convenience of your trip?

Choose an Accor ALL hotel in central Stockholm, like the ibis Styles Stockholm Odenplan, and enjoy a warm welcome and comfort from the moment you arrive. The ibis Styles in Stockholm boasts minimal Nordic design throughout, with carefully considered décor and facilities creating a peaceful, serene space in the heart of the city.

Stockholm University’s buildings were designed exclusively in a Swedish late modernist style by important architects David Helldén, Ralph Erskine, and Carl Nyrén. Be sure to take note of the style as you explore the main campus. With its natural backdrop bringing the buildings to life, it’s a location like no other.

The artistic offering at the Frescati campus is also impressive, with pieces from the collection displayed both inside and out. The university sculpture park is a good place to spend some time, while the Spökslottet building contains paintings from as early as the 1500s.
