Why Fotografiska matters

Fotografiska brings big-name and emerging photographers into an old customs house on the Södermalm waterfront. Exhibitions change often and run late into the evening, which makes this a favourite after-dark outing. The top-floor restaurant has wide views across the harbour and Gamla Stan. Even if photography is not your thing, the setting and the buzzing, creative atmosphere make it worth the visit.

Talking points

  • Evening opening hours make it a popular night out.
  • The building is a restored customs house on the water.
  • The upper-floor cafe has panoramic harbour views.
