Moving to Stockholm

Sweden is known for its friendly inhabitants, hundreds of lakes, and, of course, the beautiful capital, Stockholm. As specialists in Sweden, we are familiar with Stockholm and wholeheartedly recommend moving there.

‘Did you know that Stockholm is actually a collection of 14 islands? All these 14 islands are connected by bridges. It’s not surprising that the city is nicknamed ‘The Venice of the North’.

What to expect when you move to Stockholm

The famous Northern Lights are one of the reasons many people move to the Swedish capital. This beautiful phenomenon is best seen in the winter season, which lasts about 3 months, in the Lapland area. Everyone should witness this!

The center of Stockholm is one of breathtaking beauty. Modern shopping hides within a stunning medieval center. Are you a culture enthusiast? Then Stockholm is your city! How about the Vasa Museum? ‘The Vasa’ was a ship from the 17th century used as a warship. Today, with over 1 million visitors per year, this warship is the most visited museum in Sweden.

Skansen is another popular attraction. This open-air museum is the oldest of its kind in the world. Many Dutch people escape the hustle and bustle of the Netherlands. Apparently, urban life is too busy. Sweden is an absolute paradise.

Weather in Stockholm

Sweden’s climate is similar to Dutch weather, but it’s usually about 2 degrees colder. The warmest days in summer reach around 20 degrees.

The term ‘Sweden Specialist’ doesn’t come out of thin air. Because Sweden, compared to the Netherlands, is more familiar with extreme weather conditions, we as a moving company must be prepared for all possible weather situations.

Extra tip: Are you moving to Stockholm? First, apply for a personal number in Sweden. This is essentially the Swedish citizen service number. However, this number is used much more in Sweden than we use it.
