What to do and see in Östermalm, Stockholm County: The Best Sights & Landmarks

January 17, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

The capital city of Sweden combines modern attractions with historic charm. Kick off your stay with visits to Stockholm’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Royal Palace Drottningholm (the residence of the royal family) and the magical Skogskyrkogården, or Woodland Cemetery. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Town and over the picturesque bridges that span the city’s canals. The 19th-century Skansen was the world’s first open-air museum and is still a premier place to learn about Swedish history.

Worth visiting just for the outside. It was rehearsal time when we were there so we couldn't go in . Nice bar across the way called Berns.

Their performance from darkness to light was an amazing experience. The church was in an amazing light and the acoustic from the singers was outstanding. A memory for life.

I love this walk! You get great views of Södermalm and Old Town architecture plus there is an outdoor cafe just outside Statshuset with lounge chars and is dog friendly, a wonderful place to enjoy the view and do people/dog watching.

We visited in the evening after our final work day. The stadium is open to the public, I did a very slow lap of the track, in the snow. This is a classically beautiful arena. The main entrance is decorated with athletic statues.

Hedvig Eleonora Kyrka

Reviewed By hansolofh - Stockholm, Sweden

This church is a baroque church, but it is nothing baroque in the meaning grotesque in its design. It is in my view an extremely beautiful church. They started to build it 350 year ago for the people in the navy. It has never been rebuilt, even if the dome is finished much later. And the original design has been brought back by the last restauration around ten years ago. Its exterior is very fetching with the traditional colour of old Stockholm buildings, a warm yellow. In the warm part of the year it is surrounded with a lot of green in form of the large trees that surround it, a perfect colour combination. However, it also nice with some snow on the black roof. Inside, beside the harmony of the whole room, I want to draw your attention to the pulpit and the altar. The pulpit is baroque at its best, it is extremally nice. The altar is a perfect combination with a large painting of the crucifixion and a small glass window with the Ascension of Christ over it. The glasswork in the chapel of Andreas is also very nice.

Beautiful park for piknik and after work relaxation for the people in Stockholm. At the other end of the park, there is a super playground for kids (ages around 0-7-years). It is called Parklek. Lots of outdoor toys and activities available for everyone to use. Easy also because there is a club house with toilets and place to change the nappy for the very little ones. All the kids play areas are separated with colourful little fences so that the bigger kids didn't come cyckling to the small kids play area and so that the curious little toddlers can't run away too fast. There are a lot of beautiful trees to give shade and benches and piknik tables so you can sit down to relax. And us adults we loved the red hammock chairs outside the park and a little BBQ corner inside the park. It was easy to grill some lunch. There are proper toilets to wash hands insinde the little club house. The toys and bicycles and bathrooms are available on weekdays from 10 am to 6 pm. But of course the swings and climbing structures with their slides etc are open and free to be used at all times.
