The area
Address
Neighborhood: Östermalm
With its high-end shopping facilities and Michelin-starred restaurants, Östermalm is definitely the poshest part of central Stockholm. Here you will find Stockholm’s most majestic residential buildings, a beautiful market hall from 1888 displaying gourmet foods from around the world and the Swedish Royal Dramatic Theatre with its awe-inspiring architecture. At night, legendary nightclubs make the perfect location to observe the natives (and those aspiring to become natives of this exclusive neighborhood) in their natural habitat and to enjoy the latest produce of the Swedish house music scene.

Take a stroll
Leave the old town (Gamla Stan) behind and as an alternative to catching a ferry, take a stroll, power walk, run or scooter along the waterfront at Strandvagen to Djurgarden to see some of the many attractions this lovely city has to offer. Needless to say we took the stroll option!

Look to your right and see some lovely boats moored up and look to your left to see some lovely buildings.

Just a lovely place to be on a lovely day.

Stately waterfront
Despite the cold miserable weather we appreciated this magnificent waterfront. We walked from the old town which took us about 20 minutes, including stops to take photographs along the way. The promenade with the boats moored, tree lined with the buildings, now filled with expensive apartments is very impressive and in the summer months must be even better to see.

Take a walk along Strandvägen
In good weather, take a walk from Nybroviken along Strandvägen promenade all the way to Djurgården. Enjoy the lovely buildings at the left side of the road while enjoying the sun, water and boats on the right. Possibly stop at any of the small cafés and restaurants on your way.

Beautiful waterfront walk.
Nice place to dream about living in one of the many historic, architecturally interesting luxury flats. If you can find one available for sale and to your liking, don't forget to bring a very large stack of cash with you. The waterside is charming.although water taxi not running this time of year. Don't forget to stop, inhale deeply and listen along the waterfront promenade.

Misc: Can you find the two obelisks that show in LED lighting Stockholm's up-to-the minute environmental air-water quality etc?

Nice walk along the water
It is the zone from Nybrokajen to Nobel Park, lined with a belt of trees on the first side and with a belt of boats on the second side. Ideal for walking or if you go to see the Abba museum or other near museums.

Lovely stroll
Visited both in the summer and in October. August is definitely the better of the two. Vibrant, everything open. Restaurant at berth 18, Anbatsbryggen, is certainly worth a visit on a warm summer evening.

Archipelago tour
Family
There is a public ferry that goes out to the archipelago islands several times a day. This trip takes a couple of hours, more if you want to venture farther out to the Baltic Sea. Great way to see the outskirts of Stockholm, and a ticket is only about $10. Much better than the numerous tourist excursions --the views are the same!

We went there to catch a ferry for the Archipelago cruise, and spent a lot of time walking along the pier when we returned. Across the pier is a succession of historic buildings, a tree-lined pedestrian island in the middle of the wide road, upmarket hotels, stores and cafes, and everything else that pleases the eye.

Give yourself 2 hours to enjoy Strandvagen on foot.
