Hovet

Hovet is a well-known arena in Stockholm’s Johanneshov area, valued for its more compact layout that gives events a direct and energetic feel. Its functional architecture is suited to concerts, ice hockey, sporting programs, and large stage productions, allowing the venue to remain an important part of the city’s event infrastructure.

Inside, the arena offers clear views of the stage or playing surface from most seating areas, with an atmosphere that often feels closer to the performers and athletes than in larger venues. Visitors can expect a practical arrangement of entrances, seating, and on-site facilities, including food and drink options during events.

The arena is located at Arenaslingan 9, 121 77 Johanneshov, Stockholm, Sweden. Access to the entrance is straightforward on foot from the Globen station area, while marked parking options are also available around the arena complex.

Stockholm, Sweden’s capital spread across an archipelago, is not only a symbol of Scandinavian design and culture but also one of Europe’s most appealing destinations for concerts, sporting fixtures, and major events. The city blends refined urban energy with sweeping views of water and islands, so attending an event often becomes just the centerpiece of a broader experience. With a wide range of neighborhoods, it’s easy to find a place for nightlife, a great meal, or a relaxed walk before and after the program—without feeling like you’re losing time to logistics.

Stockholm prides itself on highly functional transport infrastructure, making it quick and simple to reach the main arenas, venues, and stadiums. Public transport is managed by SL, and visitors most often rely on the Tunnelbana metro, Pendeltåg commuter trains, Spårvagn trams, and bus routes that link key parts of the city. If you arrive by train, the central hub is Stockholm Centralstation (Stockholm C), with especially convenient connections across the city. For those flying in, Stockholm Arlanda Airport is the main international airport, with Bromma Stockholm Airport available as an additional option—making trip planning easy regardless of your travel style.

When you want to add a tourist “bonus” to your event visit, Stockholm offers plenty within easy reach. Stroll through Gamla Stan, the historic heart with narrow streets and squares that create a distinctive atmosphere, or linger along the waterfront promenades and bridges where the city’s character on the water comes through best. For a slower pace, there are walkways and parks on the islands, and many visitors also choose museum-and-greenery areas such as Djurgården to round out the day before heading back to the venue or after the show ends.
