Sweden Stockholm Stadhuset

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

On a few days a year the sun rises perfectly behind the Stockholm Stadhuset. On a perfect sunny day without any clouds you can capture incredible images looking like the sun is stuck inside the lantern of the tower.

Photography Tips

I planned the photo using PhotoPills. In the end, the sun was about 75m above ground.
Bring a tripod and a very long telephoto lens, at least 400mm to capture the whole Stadhuset. If you want to capture only the upper part of the tower, I recommend 800mm or above.

Travel Information

Take the bus or metro to Galla Stan or Slussen. From there you have to walk about 2,5km one way. It’s a nice walk along the waterfront of the lake Mälaren.
Be prepared to get up really early.
