🥂 1. Himlen – Sky-High Sophistication in Södermalm
Why go: Sunset views, upscale dining, premium cocktails
Towering 104 meters above the streets of Södermalm, Himlen (which means “Heaven”) lives up to its name. The views stretch across all of central Stockholm, and the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between classy and relaxed. Order a glass of champagne or a top-shelf cocktail and enjoy the glowing skyline.
📸 Best time to go: Just before sunset for golden hour views over Gamla Stan.
🍸 2. TAK – Scandinavian Cool with a Japanese Twist
Why go: Trendy crowd, seasonal cocktails, unbeatable terrace vibe
One of the most popular rooftop bars in Stockholm, TAK is as much about the design as it is about the drinks. This minimalist rooftop lounge blends Scandinavian style with Japanese influences, offering everything from miso-infused cocktails to craft sake. The views? A full sweep across Stockholm’s city center.
🍶 Don’t miss: Their “RHUBARB & VODKA” cocktail.
🌆 3. Arc Rooftop – Relaxed Luxury in Vasastan
Why go: Cozy corners, classy ambiance, central location
Tucked atop the Blique by Nobis hotel, Arc is one of Vasastan’s best-kept secrets. The view is more urban than postcard-perfect, but it makes up for it with top-notch cocktails, plush seating, and fewer tourists than the big-name spots.
🛋️ Tip: Go early for a sofa corner with skyline views — they fill up fast.
