My favorite Stockholm spot

June '10

Okay, so since I live in Stockholm I thought I'd share one of my most favorite spots in this magnificent city. It's not really somewhere tourists usually get to go, but I'd really recommend that you spend a few hours on Fjäderholmerna if you're ever in town. They are a part of the Stockholm Archipelago and a visit is a great way to explore the magic of the Archipelago which consist of more than 24.000 little islands, small red Swedish houses, beautiful nature, boats and sun. It's truly a magnificent place!

You can take the boat from central Stockholm (they depart from Nybrokajen) every 30 minutes and a return ticket is 100SEK (about 15€) - the trip taskes about 30 minutes each way, so it's really not too far away. Once there you should enjoy some traditional Swedish food (I recommend the toast with Skagenröra - it's extremely good!) and take a walk around the island - finish your visit off with a big ol' icecream and enjoy it on the boat back.
