MS Märtha Stockholm
Best-kept secret
Blessed with an absolutely fantastic location and a magical panoramic view, MS Märtha is one of my best-kept secrets in Stockholm! It's a hotel, bar, and restaurant - located on a two-floored boat. I've always looked out for more unique places to embrace the Stockholm summers, and was definitely pleased when I found this gem several years ago.
From deck, you'll spot Stadshuset (the city hall) across the water, trains that quietly arrive and leave Stockholm Central in the distance, hot air balloons in the sky, and other sights to rest your eyes on.
Every now and then during the summer months, a DJ is also playing at the bow. And from the small and unpretentious bar, you can order all kinds of beverages and food.
MS Märtha stays open no matter the season and also offers glass-enclosed seating area, so no matter the temperature, you can always plan a visit.
Take a seat, sit back, and relax - and the rest will come to you.
