What's open on Sundays in Stockholm?

Sunday in Stockholm is quieter than in many European capitals, but far from closed. The main department stores — NK and Åhléns on Sergelstorg — open around 11 and run until roughly 17:00 or 18:00. Systembolaget, the state alcohol monopoly, is closed entirely on Sundays, so plan accordingly. Restaurants and cafés across Södermalm, Östermalm, and the old town Gamla Stan operate normally; brunch spots in particular do strong Sunday trade. The major museums follow regular hours: the Vasa Museum and Fotografiska are both open, with Fotografiska running late into the evening. Grocery stores such as ICA and Coop keep reduced but functional hours, typically 10:00 to 18:00. The Tunnelbana runs on a full schedule. Markets like Hötorgshallen indoor food hall are open, though the outdoor Hötorget stalls may be limited. In short, the day rewards slower movement: coffee, museums, a long lunch, a walk through Djurgården.
