For many companies the Summer season “has finished” and they are ending tours, closing their doors and sending their staff home for a few weeks. The season reopens again once the snow is falling and the lakes have frozen. However, this does not mean that there is still not plenty to do in Stockholm. Keep busy with our new weekly “What’s On” suggestions.
