Location

Fotografiska Stockholm is located at Stadsgårdshamnen 22, in the Södermalm district near Slussen, right by the waterfront in central Stockholm. The museum is housed in the historic Royal Customs House and is easily accessible by metro, bus, a short walk from Slussen, or by boat, with a dedicated dock for sightseeing ferries. Nearby, you’ll find the vibrant Södermalm neighborhood, known for its trendy shops, cafés, and cultural venues. The Slussen transport hub is about a 10-minute walk away, connecting you to the rest of the city. Within walking distance are the Katarina Elevator with panoramic city views, the hip Mosebacke square and Södra Teatern for live performances, and the Old Town (Gamla Stan) just across the water. The area is also close to the Viking Line ferry terminal, and the Fotografiska building itself offers stunning views of Stockholm’s skyline and harbor from its restaurant and café.
