Local tip
Head to Monteliusvägen in the late afternoon for one of the best views over Stockholm’s old town, Lake Mälaren, and the city hall. It’s a favourite spot among locals for a peaceful walk or a sunset picnic—far less crowded than the usual tourist viewpoints. Grab a coffee and kanelbulle from a nearby café in Södermalm and take your time soaking in the view. It’s especially magical in the golden hour light.
