Frescatibiblioteket

Stockholm University's main library on the leafy Frescati campus — one of Sweden's most-visited academic libraries and a calm retreat from city noise.

Frescatibiblioteket is the main library of Stockholm University and one of Sweden's largest academic libraries. It sits on the Frescati campus in northern Stockholm, one of the greenest university grounds in Europe. The library manages millions of volumes and digital resources, and recorded nearly 1.8 million visits in 2014 alone — a testament to how vibrant campus life is here. For knowledge-seekers or anyone looking for a quiet, inspiring place to read or work away from the tourist trail, Frescatibiblioteket is a worthwhile stop.
