Stockholm has a lot of amazing attractions, but it also has a fair amount of overpriced things to see and do. This video is all about tourist traps in the capital of Sweden.

I've previously made a video about scams in Stockholm, but this time I'm focusing on things that just cost too much for the value they give you. None of these things are scams - they're all providing a good service of some kind, but you might still want to think twice about visiting them.

Aside from just listing things to avoid, I also give you alternatives to everything mentioned, so that you know what the cheaper alternatives are.

The things discussed in this video include:

- How to get to Stockholm City from Arlanda Airport. Taxi and Arlanda Express are just a bit too overpriced, since you can take Flygbussarna, Nettbus, Flixbus or public transport instead.
- Boat tours of the Stockholm canals are quite nice, but also quite pricey. Instead, you can for example rent a kayak or take a boat tour to the archipelago for a cheaper price.
-  The SkyView attraction on top of Avicii Arena (formerly The Globe Arena) takes you up 85 meters into the air so that you can get a lovely view of Stockholm. But then again...you also get a fantastic view for free from Skinnarviksberget or Monteliusvägen.
- Tipping is very common in some countries. Sweden is not one of those countries.
- Stockholm Old Town, Gamla stan, might be seen as a tourist trap. I'm discussing pros and cons about why it is or isn't a tourist trap, and also go into details about restaurants, gift shops and other details in the area.
- Alcohol is expensive in Sweden, but it doesn't have to be. I list some areas to avoid, and some places where you can find cheaper bars (Södermalm and Sveavägen).
- Night clubs in Stockholm sound like a tempting thing to try when visiting Sweden, but are they really all that good? I recommend some alternatives such as Syntax Error, Nalen, Debaser, or just regular old pubs or places like Laika at Hornstull.
- Finally, let's circle back to taxis. Aside from public transport, you also have options like Bolt, Uber and electric scooter. Or why not walk?
