Stockholm Parks, Gardens and Stockholm Arboretums
(Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden, SE)



There are an impressive selection of public parks and pretty gardens that greet visitors to Stockholm, allowing you to enjoy recreational spaces, pleasant green surroundings and Swedish flora. Ralambshovsparken is amongst the top parks in Stockholm and boasts excellent facilities and plenty of summer entertainment, along with ice cream kiosks and even free aerobics.

Further parks lie just outside of central Stockholm, such as both Bishop's Isle (Biskopsö) and Bear Island (Björnö), where many coastal attractions await. Although the city's gardens and parks are at their most appealing during the summer days and balmy evenings, they do take on an entirely different character in the winter, when some even offer ice skating and other seasonal activities.
