What can you do during an autumn holiday in Stockholm? Stockholm is a perfect city to spend the autumn holidays in, and the whole city invites you to a mix of culture and Halloween celebrations. Here are the places that I found that do something extra during the fall holidays or that are just a little scary or fun.

1. Night at the Nordic Museum

The Nordic Museum takes you on an exciting evening activity in "Night at the museum" after closing. Don't forget to buy a ticket in advance.

Gröna Lund has brought out all the cobwebs and all the ghosts from their hiding places and offers a really scary Halloween theme. Stay in the children's section if you don't want to be scared!

7. Ghost walk in the Old Town

When darkness has fallen over the Old Town, the ghost walk begins among the narrow little alleys and backyards. A popular guided tour all year round. Keep in mind that it is a historical hike and not a scare hike like Gröna Lund.
Suitable for ages 7 and up.
