A bay on Mälaren with nice hiking routes, bathing and forest. One of my favourite spots on Stockholm.

Great area on the shore of Kungsholmen in Stockholm, just a couple of stops from the city centre on the tube . Ideal for a swim or summer (or winter for that matter) barbecue with friends.

A 500-meter long (quarter mile) walking path with a magnificent view of Lake Mälaren, City Hall, and Riddarholmen. Bring your take-away coffee and walk the path at least once every season to notice the different scents and colours of Stockholm.

Lovely food with whatever the season offers in the restaurant but also got a connected bar and nightlife events. The yard is a great spot to spend summer evenings and it always has a friendly vibe.

In the summer this is a haven in the middle of the city. It is a public garden where I like to go and relax in the grass under a blooming tree. There is also a cafe and a shop here. Before you leave you should buy a bouqee of flowers (you pick yourself in the garden!).
