–Daylight drops sharply through the month
October brings cooling weather and rapidly shortening days, but also some of Stockholm’s best hotel value and smaller crowds at museums and Gamla Stan.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
