About this venue
Stockholm Olympic Stadium is more than a venue—it’s a brick-built landmark with unmistakable character. Its iconic towers and fortress-like silhouette give every event an added sense of occasion, whether you’re coming for athletics, football, or a major open-air concert.
Inside, the experience feels classic and close to the action: steep stands keep sightlines strong, and the open oval with its athletics track creates a focused, traditional stadium atmosphere. Visitors often appreciate the straightforward on-site amenities, clear views, and the sense of being in a place that carries real sporting heritage.
The stadium is located at Lidingövägen, Stockholm, Sweden. A convenient reference point for reaching the entrances is the nearby Stadion metro station, followed by a short, easy walk to the entry area along Lidingövägen; if you’re arriving by car, plan for public parking zones and garages in the surrounding area.

About the city
Stockholm, Sweden’s capital spread across an archipelago, is not only a symbol of Scandinavian design and culture but also one of Europe’s most appealing destinations for concerts, sporting fixtures, and major events. The city blends refined urban energy with sweeping views of water and islands, so attending an event often becomes just the centerpiece of a broader experience. With a wide range of neighborhoods, it’s easy to find a place for nightlife, a great meal, or a relaxed walk before and after the program—without feeling like you’re losing time to logistics.
Stockholm prides itself on highly functional transport infrastructure, making it quick and simple to reach the main arenas, venues, and stadiums. Public transport is managed by SL, and visitors most often rely on the Tunnelbana metro, Pendeltåg commuter trains, Spårvagn trams, and bus routes that link key parts of the city. If you arrive by train, the central hub is Stockholm Centralstation (Stockholm C), with especially convenient connections across the city. For those flying in, Stockholm Arlanda Airport is the main international airport, with Bromma Stockholm Airport available as an additional option—making trip planning easy regardless of your travel style.
When you want to add a tourist “bonus” to your event visit, Stockholm offers plenty within easy reach. Stroll through Gamla Stan, the historic heart with narrow streets and squares that create a distinctive atmosphere, or linger along the waterfront promenades and bridges where the city’s character on the water comes through best. For a slower pace, there are walkways and parks on the islands, and many visitors also choose museum-and-greenery areas such as Djurgården to round out the day before heading back to the venue or after the show ends.
