What you’ll do

🌸Here are 3 popular cherry blossom hotspots in Stockholm.🌸 The season usually peaks around middle/end of April. There is also a cherry blossom day celebrated together with the Japanese association in Stockholm end of April. You can find the schedule and date on their website: http://japanskaforeningenisthlm.se/sv/ in 2023 it is on the 23rd of April from 13:00-17:00 at Kungsträdgården.

You could probably make it to all 3 of the most popular hotspots in one day and catch them all!

Here is how I would do it:

  • get some take-away breakfast and coffee at Stora Bageriet (opens 7:30/8am) and walk to Kungsträdgården or opt for a breakfast at Thelins Grand Cafe (opens at 9am) right by the cherry blossom trees

  • Start with your first cherry blossom stop at Kungsträdgården in the morning

  • From here walk to the metro station Östermalmstorg and take the metro to Mariatorget (exit Torkel Knutssongatan)

  • Check out the beautiful cherry blossoms at Bysistorget and stop at Kaffebar for a fika/lunch

  • once you feel like you soaked it all in, walk 5 minutes to the bus stop Zinkensdamm and catch the number 74 towards Sickla Udde. Hop off at Luma, which is your final cherry blossom hotspot.

  • When you are ready to leave this spot and got all the shots you need, head to Nya Carnegiebryggeriet, which is just a few minutes walking and wind down with a beer and some hearty food by the water.
