Parks & Nature

Known by many as the best park in Stockholm. Luckily it is known by few so it isn't yet a tourist spot. It is a semi-private park overlooking the city. In the Summer, it is filled with sun bathers. Make a cup of coffee in my flat and drink it here :D There are blankets in the flat that you can bring to the park.

This place is very unique. It has a restaurant, which I don't know much about. It looks expensive and high end. But part of it is a bar with hip hop music playing. On weekends the crowd is between 18-25 and dresses very hipster, despite it being located in Stureplan where people typically dress up a lot.
