O'Learys Kista Stockholm Gokart

In Kista, in northern Stockholm, O'Learys offers an indoor karting track within its large entertainment centre, set in the district's shopping mall. Driving under cover means you can come whatever the weather, and the activity fits into a wider entertainment offer, handy for a group or family outing. It is an easy-to-reach spot, right in a lively part of the capital.

Karting stays open to everyone, no licence needed: a briefing, a helmet, and off you go chasing your best lap. The activity is mainly aimed at adults, with a minimum age of eighteen, but children with a guardian are welcome in the early evening, up to a set time. The hours run wide on weekdays and at the weekend, leaving plenty of flexibility to book a session. People happily return to beat their time, stopwatch in hand.

Kista is a district of northern Stockholm nicknamed the Swedish Silicon Valley, one of northern Europe's major hubs for technology and telecommunications. Beyond its office towers and shopping mall, the area is well linked to central Stockholm by metro, about twenty minutes away. The capital, spread over its fourteen islands between lake and Baltic Sea, unfolds its palaces, its old town of Gamla Stan and its museums, to discover once the racing is done.
