Close to the fishing spot of the Baltic sea
Jan 2020
This is a very good spot to watch birds and passerbys, idly mulling over your plans to explore the city. A good starting spot to Gamla Stan, also note that the other side of the bridge is where the Baltic sea's brackish water starts. You can see it from the rapids under the dividing bridge.

Beautiful city lake
Nov 2022 • Solo
I did a couple crises along this lake a on the view from the lake to the islands around was always breathtaking. The lake less to many of the islands in the because Stockholm is built on many islands. Therefore the lake gives access to them via the ferry or Bridges cross the lake to connecting islands. Ooops(Ps. I think I mixed up my photos of Lake Malaren with those I took lake at lake Mariefred).

Birka
Jun 2013 • Solo
Birka was one of the few known towns or cities of the Vikings and is on a beautiful island in Lake Malaren. The Vikings traded with much of Eurasia. Recreated Viking vessels and a town built according to experimental archaeologists, in the traditional forms, and with traditional tools is splendid -- as is the museum The boat trip from Stockholm and return takes most of a summer day. One of the best, among the many wonderful things, I experienced in Sweden.

Winter Tour by Boat
Feb 2018 • Couples
If you can bear the freezing temperatures, highly recommend the Winter Tour by Boat. We did the one and half hour tour (ample as my toes felt they had frostbite) which takes on a lovely cruise around the surrounding archipelagos. Wrap-up warm but there is a 3-hour tour (book in advanced) if you feel brave. Hot food and drinks served too (you can also book as part of your ticket price).

Under the Bridges to Lake Malaren
Aug 2014 • Couples
We were staying in Stockholm and did the great boat trip called Under the Bridges of Stockholm which takes you from the Baltic through lock gates and into Lake Malaren. The lake is considerably larger than the part we saw on this trip but what we did see from the boat was very interesting as the tour had a running commentary regarding the architectural and natural features on the lakeside. The circular tour shows a large area of Stockholm and features suburban areas off the beaten track as well as the more well known areas.

Very nice boat trip
Aug 2013 • Couples
We liked the trip to Drottningholm and the stroll in the gardens. The Chinese Pavillion and the Palace are quite normal, although nice, if you have already been to the German, Austrian and Portuguese palaces. There was an opera by Mozart at the theatre but we didn't go, we hadn't known about it. The weather was a problem as one time the sun was shining the other it was raining a lot. Nevertheless the banks of the lake are very nice and luxuriant and you can see the people enjoying the water and sports. It's worth having this boatride.

Saw this and the surrounding islands on a boat trip.
Such an interesting way of seeing the area. There appeared to be no pollution, no obnoxious smells, just fresh air ! A wonderful place.

Mälaren is the third biggest lake in Sweden. This one leads to the ocean. Its beautiful, depending, of course, where you go!

Beautiful spot in the city.
Jul 2011 • Friends
Lake Malaren is one of the things that makes Stockholm such a beautiful city. It was lovely and clean. I enjoyed seeing the natives out making the most of it.
