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!).

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.

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.

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.

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