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.
During the summer Trädgården is the place to be if your out clubbing. It has a great festival atmosphere. The chance of you getting seperated from your friends is immidiate but you will meet new ones. I have a love-hate relationship with this place, watch out for the massive que and the ill willing pointers.
A great art center in the industrial area of Lövholmen that presents a good selection of exhibitions every few months. Wonderful cafe and art/design store inside.
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.
