The Best Swimming Pools In Stockholm

Swedes love to swim and they do so often that there’s always a debate about which is the best swimming pool in Stockholm. During the warmer weather people take advantage of living in a city surrounded by water but during the other half of the year it’s off to the swimming bath. If you’re looking to take a dip while in the city here are our top recommendations.

Located in the heart of the city, Centralbadet is a gorgeous art nouveau building from the early 1900s and the swimming pool room is an oasis of calm and tranquility.
