Stockholm Olympic Stadium, commonly called Stockholms Stadion, is the principal athletics stadium built for the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. The stadium was completed for the 1912 Games and remains a landmark of early 20th‑century sports architecture.

The facility contains an athletics track with spectator stands around the field and a seating capacity in the mid‑teens for major events. It continues to host track and field competitions, club football matches and occasional concerts and public events.

Designed by Torben Grut and opened for the 1912 Games, the stadium has been maintained and adapted for modern use while keeping key historic elements. Renovations over the decades have updated facilities for athletes and spectators while preserving the venue’s historic character.

Located in the Östermalm district of Stockholm, the stadium sits within easy reach of the city centre and is integrated into Stockholm’s public transport network.

• 1912 Olympics: Built for and hosting the 1912 Summer Olympics; designed by architect Torben Grut and still used for athletics and football events.

The Stockholm Olympic Stadium sits in the Östermalm/Östermalmstorg area of central Stockholm. Take the Stockholm Tunnelbana (metro) red line to Stadion station - the stadium is a very short walk (a few minutes) from the station; from Stockholm Central it is about 2-3 km by road (roughly 10-15 minutes by car or taxi depending on traffic).

• Visit on a non-event day or join one of the stadium guided tours (usually offered in summer) to see the interior and learn about the 1912 Olympic history without match-day crowds.
• Arrive via the Stadion metro station (red line) for the quickest access to the stadium complex and adjacent parkland.
• Check the stadium event calendar in advance-international athletics meets and concerts close public access or change entrance gates, so planning avoids wasted trips and long queues.
