A beautiful island far out in Stockholm archipelago where you can recover from the hectic city life. Fill yourself with new inspiration from the nature and the rich cultural history the island offers. In 1908 Bullerö was bought by the painter Bruno Liljefors and became his private summer retreat and studio. He regularly invited his famous friends for week-long food-and-drink-orgies and hunting treks. Historians say that it was in fact these party trips that popularized the archipelago as the summer destination for Stockholm’s it-crowd; everybody who was anybody wanted to host bacchanalian parties on a private island of their own. If you don't own your own boat, you can catch a ferry and stay in one of the cottage houses that you can rent.

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!).

A friendly and relaxed atmosphere with a great kitchen. Lovely music and every now and then surprise live acts as Dungen. A big terrace with the park next door and the new ice cream bar makes it perfect for daytime as well.

One of Stockholms most beautiful and well hidden art museums. This studio of Swedish sculptor Carl Eldh is located in a stunning old wooden building close to Brunnsviken/Haga parken.

This is a great spot for lunch or coffee! In the summer you can sit outside. They have a beautiful botanical garden and is located next to Brunnsviken (lake). The also have a huge greenhouse with plants from allover the world.
