 Fantastic view of Stockholm |
Fjällgatan Stockholm 116 28 Sweden +46 (0)8 5082 8508 (Stockholm Turistbyra) |
When in Stockholm, do as the Stockholmers do. So go up to Fjällgatan for an ice cream and enjoy the fantastic view. This street on Södermalm, above the docks of the Finland ferries and Slussen, lays the city out at your feet with a great panorama over the Old Town, Djurgården and the island of Skeppsholmen. A walk here from Slussen, via Mosebacke, takes you through the pleasant and old-fashioned heights of Södermalm. Make sure you check out the statue of playwright August Strindberg—a Stockholm treasure. The park of Ivar Lo is just around the corner and Vitabergsparken is also not too far away.
