SkyView is an elevator that operates on the outside of the Globe, transporting the visitors to the top. In less than a year since the SkyView opened, more than a hundred thousand people visited it, which an impressive number, knowing that the elevator can carry only 32 people at a time. The views from the top of the Globe over the whole city of Stockholm are magnificient.

Lots of people want to get on the top of the Globe, so better prepare yourself for waiting in a queue. Also, prepare about 130 SEK of money for the entrance.
