What makes these islands unique is that you can simply hop on your bike right outside the museum and cycle through the lush greenery, right in the heart of the city.
If you’re heading to Stockholm mainly for the beautiful natural surroundings, but don’t want to miss out on good food and a friendly atmosphere, then this is the neighbourhood for you. Djurgården is teeming with nature! It forms part of Ekoparken, the world’s first national park situated right in the heart of a city. Here, you can relax in the woods, go for a walk or a cycle along the water’s edge, go boating, enjoy a romantic picnic or visit a museum. After all, there are plenty of museums to choose from.
Skeppsholmen is also part of Ekoparken and is one of the city’s smaller islands. The island served as a naval base until the late 1960s. Moderna Museet is the best-known museum on this island.
