About this venue
Tele2 Arena (also known as 3Arena) is more than a stadium—it’s a modern landmark with a distinctive profile and a retractable roof that keeps events on track in any weather. Built for top-level football and major live shows, it can host up to around 45,000 fans for concerts and about 30,000 for sports configurations, delivering a big-event feel without losing intimacy.
Inside, the experience is notably close to the action—the front rows sit very near the touchline, which amplifies match intensity, while concerts benefit from a powerful, clear sound and strong crowd energy. Visitors appreciate the sightlines, comfortable seating, and convenient food-and-drink options that make arriving early (and staying after) genuinely easy.
The address is Arenaslingan 14, Stockholm, Sweden. The easiest approach is via the Globen area entrances; the arena is served by the nearby Globen and Gullmarsplan stops, and if you’re driving, Arenagaraget beneath the complex is a practical choice.

About the city: Johanneshov
Johanneshov, just south of central Stockholm, is part of the area known as Stockholm Globe City and one of Scandinavia’s most recognizable hotspots for sports, concerts, and large-scale events. Major arenas and venues sit within a short radius here, which makes the entire visit exceptionally convenient—from entering the district to finding entrances, food, and pre-show amenities. If you want a destination that blends the pulse of a capital city with the feeling that everything is within easy reach, Johanneshov delivers.
A key advantage is transport connectivity: public transit operated by SL makes getting to the venues fast and straightforward via a mix of Tunnelbana and Tvärbanan, supported by multiple bus lines that naturally link into the main hubs. It helps that the area connects smoothly through central interchanges, and whether you arrive by train at Stockholm Centralstation or by air via Stockholm Arlanda Airport, the onward trip to Johanneshov is logical and easy. That “frictionless” logistics is exactly what you want when planning an evening at Avicii Arena (Globen), 3Arena, or Hovet.
Since you’re already coming for an event, add a sightseeing bonus: wander through Gamla Stan and along the waterfront for classic city views, stop by Södermalm for cafés and panoramic outlooks, or head to Djurgården for a relaxed walk through greenery by the water. Johanneshov offers a rare balance of “action” and exploration—you’re quickly in your seat, and just as quickly back in the iconic Stockholm neighborhoods that round out the whole experience.
