Fotografiska

Fotografiska is one of the world's leading photography museums, set in a converted brick harbour building on the Sodermalm waterfront. It runs a changing programme of major contemporary photography exhibitions, stays open late into the evening, and its top-floor cafe has one of the best views over Stockholm's old town and water.

What to look for

• The exhibitions - big rotating shows of contemporary and famous photographers.
• The building - the converted brick industrial harbour building.
• The top-floor view - the cafe and bar looking over the old town and harbour.
• Late opening - the evening hours that make it a night-out option.

When to go

Year-round; a fully indoor museum with a changing line-up, so check the current shows. Its late hours make it good for an evening. The view is best on a clear day or at sunset.

Things to know

Since it is exhibition-led, appeal depends on the current shows, so check what is on. It is a private museum with commercial prices. The famous view and cafe are part of the draw as much as the art.

Nearby

The Sodermalm district and its bars are around it; Gamla Stan is across the water.
