New Year Eve Fireworks in Stockholm


Are you interested in watching New year eve fireworks in Stockholm to welcome 2019?
Where does fireworks happen? It happens in many places in Central Stockholm. Last year, we watched them from Strömbron.

We could find official details of the locations here (Source: Visit Stockholm & Google Maps)
  • The street Fjällgatan, the beautiful walking path Monteliusvägen and the highest natural point of Stockholm; Skinnarviksberget.
  • The bridges Västerbron and Skanstullsbron.
  • Skansen: Traditional celebration all evening. Singing, dancing, and fireworks.
  • Skeppsbron, Slottsbacken, Strömbron, Blasieholmen, and Skeppsholmen towards the inlet, where the city's official fireworks will be displayed this year.

Some important key points to be considered:
  • There will be a big queue and security check of people and bags near the location of celebrations.
  • You can expect lot of people and crowd when time is close to mid night and also after fireworks are over. Hence, have patience and plan accordingly.
  • You can plan for a late dinner or go for Ice skating in Kungsträdgården, if you go early.
  • There will be loud music near the venue.
  • You can seek help from volunteers or police, if required.
  • Try to go in groups so that you can help each other and enjoy together rather than one or two people.
You can see glimpse of last year celebrations in this video (part of it was captured!)
