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!).

Close to the water this park has animals, swings, climbing frames and playhouse. I place for families to play with there kids, but in the evening the area is occupied by teenagers.

Stadshuset is one of Swedens most famous buildings, designed in 1907 by architect Ragnar Östberg, who was very inspired by italian renaissance architecture at the time. Next to it is the newly finished Stockholm Water Front building.

Walk around this lake in the south of Stockholm and in the summer you can take a swim.

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.
