Walk through Stockholm’s leafy parks, broad lawns, wooded paths and open viewpoints, with the city often appearing between the greenery. You will move from formal park planting to the expansive landscape of Djurgården, then into the living outdoor setting of Skansen. The route also brings you to a rocky height and several welcoming parks where you can pause, breathe and enjoy the outdoors. Take this walk for a varied, refreshing look at Stockholm through its gardens and open spaces.
