Kungliga Tennishallen (The Royal Tennis Hall) is an indoor tennis arena in Stockholm, Sweden. It is best known as the home of the Stockholm Open, an event on the ATP Tour, and as a venue for Davis Cup ties, when Sweden's national team plays on home ground.
What kind of visit it makes
For most visitors, the hall is worth seeing on a day when a match is on. With seating for roughly 5,000 spectators, it offers an intimate view of professional tennis compared with much larger stadiums. Because it is an indoor arena, play is not affected by weather, and the atmosphere during Davis Cup weekends is shaped by the national team's supporters.
Practical points
- It is an indoor venue, so it suits any season.
- Its programme centres on the Stockholm Open and Davis Cup ties, so check what is scheduled before you travel.
- Seating capacity is around 5,000, which keeps most seats relatively close to the court.
Around the hall
The hall is in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, a city built across islands and waterways. Visitors attending an event can combine it with time in the city's historic centre and its waterfront, and plan their journey around the match times they have chosen.
