Explore the Archipelago: Stockholm in Action
Centered on 14 islands, the Stockholm archipelago is famed for its beauty. While on your trip, relax, take a hike, go for a picnic, or venture into the water for a unique, customizable experience of your own.
Looking for some adventure? Check out the Royal National City Park the world's first national city park, also known as the EcoPark where you can see foxes, roe deer, and heron in the city!
Or, explore the Lake Malaren waters surrounding the city's archipelago. You can safely fish, swim, and boat along the shoreline. Just outside Stockholm you can opt for the popular, 621-mile long Sörmlandsleden hiking trail (pine forests, bogs, rocks plains and rivers). Or the Upplandsleden Trail (186 miles) shore line walking of the great Lake Mälaren.
Even in the winter there's something for everyone.
Stockholm city slickers really do know how to make the most of city nature over the long icy winters. Skating is wildly popular on the frozen Norrviken lake and the great lake Mälaren that surrounds the cities’ islands. It is even more impressive to skate on the archipelago waters, but be sure to book a guided tour before you come!
Nordic/cross country skiing is also a major Stockholmer weekend activity both in the parks and forests as well as on the frozen waters (Check out Hellasgarden for great trails, skating and sauna). Plus! you can even go downhill skiing in Stockholm! There are 7 mini ski slopes at Hammarbybacken to explore.
Rain or shine, winter or summer, Stockholm has something exciting for you!
