Dear San Franciscan, Beginning of October 2024, I stayed a few more days after completing my Scandic tour. Cool weather around 50F. Thought I need 3 day pass of using the train, but as long as you stay in city center, you don’t really need one. (example: At Six, or IKEA as my point of start), this is a city you can explore by foot. It’s 30 mins walk from City center, visited most of the museums, had lunch in one of the restaurant nearby, Viking Museum, ABBA museum, a walk by the river, passed the Noble st, got about 20K steps in a day. It is a relaxing day. Yes you want to do the cruise tour when you can, and sign up with a guide who can narrate it for you the history of the town and what you see. Breathe those fresh air. I can see me returning back to Stockholm just to visit more museums.
A must-visit for anyone traveling to Stockholm. This island is absolutely beautiful and open to the public for free! The park is extremely lush, green, and expansive with many experiences to choose from, whether you are looking to take a long stroll, stretch out on a blanket, eat a good meal with a scenic view, or learn about Swedish history at Skansen. I highly recommend having coffee or lunch at Rosendals Trädgård - a locally operated farm and dining destination centrally located in the park. There is even an option to take your meal and enjoy it in the beautiful apple orchard.
Beautiful day out. Walk the whole island as it's remarkable and honestly the most peaceful place in Stockholm. We went on a blistering hot day and didn't see anymore than 10 people walking or jogging. Amazing central forest that has wild deers and beautiful birds to spot. Honestly the best thing in Sweden and its free!
I enjoyed the peacefulness of my walk through the woods. The trails are well marked and can make a good workout should you wish to do so. Interesting how much they just leave it to nature rather than trying to manicure it to make it look pretty.
Lovely and HUGE park. I’d advice to rent a bike or a scooter and enjoy 2 hours of cycling in it… come in the morning before 11am if you wanted peace. After 12pm it’s gets a bit crowded. Either way, a must vais it when in Stockholm
A must when visiting Stockholm. There is a lot of everything: museums (Vasa and Abba and Prince Eugene), amusement park and a wonderful walk all around. Many places to stop and eat and have a drink, like Rosenlundsträdgård etc.
