Where to stay in Midsommarkransen
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Stockholms Ånglokssällskap sits in the district. A room in Midsommarkransen buys suburban Stockholm rather than the centre, streets on ground the record traces to 1775, with the steam locomotive society as the one drawing card inside the district itself. It became a district of the city in 1926.
Anyone based here should expect a residential address and a ride in for the sights, the ordinary bargain of a suburban base.

About Midsommarkransen
What are the main landmarks in Midsommarkransen?
Steam keeps this district on the map. Stockholms Ånglokssällskap works here, a steam locomotive society whose presence gives Midsommarkransen a subject beyond the housing, and the only entry on the district's landmark list. After the society, no second name appears.
The rest of what the district holds is the ordinary suburban fabric of Stockholm, streets of homes on ground whose record reaches back to 1775.
What is the history of Midsommarkransen?
The date to hold is 1775. That is where the record of Midsommarkransen begins, long before the ground was drawn into Stockholm as one of its suburban districts, a status the city fixed in 1926. Steam keeps a foothold.
Stockholms Ånglokssällskap carries that thread inside the district, the one institution here whose subject is the railway age rather than the housing around it.
Where is Midsommarkransen?
