A Capital of Nature

In Stockholm, nature is never far away. The Stockholm Archipelago is the largest in Sweden and attracts both visitors and locals.

You can take a ferry to one of the islands, such as the idyllic town of Vaxholm, with its village atmosphere and wooden houses dating back to the late 19th century. In the summer, follow the locals' lead and relax by the waterfront.

Klungliga Djurgården

The Royal Djurgården Park is a peaceful haven located in the heart of the Scandinavian capital.

Situated to the east of the city center, the Royal Djurgården Park is easily accessible by foot, boat, bus, or tram. Green, serene, and relaxing, Djurgården Island is an ideal spot for walkers or those looking to recharge while staying in Stockholm.
