Airfare and room rates are slightly more expensive than the winter, but springtime in Stockholm is still cheaper than the summer. But don't expect a whole lot of warmth during spring. March averages drift between the mid-20s and 30s, and during April highs get up to about 48 degrees. May is the warmest of the spring months, reaching 60 degrees, but nighttime is still pretty chilly with lows hanging in the 40s. 

Key Events:

• Swedish Outdoor Show (March)
• Walpurgis Night (April)
• Urban Connection Festival (May)

After busy peak season ends, you're likely to find less crowds, but temperatures start to drop fast. Highs during September barely scratch the 60-degree surface and the lows are the warmest of fall, staying in the mid-50s. From October to November, expect daily 40-degree temperatures and low 40s and 30s come nightfall. Travel rates are definitely cheaper this time in comparison to summer, but if you're looking for a big bargain, your best bet is winter. 

Key Events:

• Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival (September-October)
• Ladies' Mile (September)
• Stockholm Half Marathon (September)

With freezing temperatures and very few hours of sunlight, visitors shy away from winters in Stockholm. The temperatures can drop to 23 degrees, but that comes with feet of snow. Not only that, but it's not uncommon for the sun to rise as late as 8:47 a.m. and set as early as 3 p.m. Hotels and airlines, however, tend to offer deals for the brave traveler willing to layer up. Christmastime in Stockholm, with its Skansen Markets and glögg wine, are worth the trip.  

Key Events:

• Viking Run (February)
