The main tourist information center in Stockholm, run by Visit Stockholm and located on the square Sergels torg, has closed for business. It might seem like a strange thing to happen, but there are several factors for this. The main reason is that, while Stockholm is welcoming more and more tourists each year, less and less are actually visiting a physical tourist center. This is, of course, due to the fact that visitors are getting most of their information, tickets and reservations online these days, making tourist centers increasingly obsolete.
