The view from S:t Eriks bridge
by vec
On the S:t Eriks bridge (S:t Eriksbron) you have this view over the water called Barnhusviken. During summer you can stand there and watch the boats pass by.
The bridge is located near Fridhemsplan after S:t Eriksgatan.
A walk by Norrmälarstrand
by vec
Take a walk by Norr Mälarstrand to watch the water and the boats. Start at Stadshuset with great views over Gamla Stan and continue walking to Rålambhovsparken near Fridhemsplan.
Don't forget to bring your camera, because you will find a lot of great views worth remembering.
Art in the Tunnelbana
by sim1
The Stockholm Underground (Tunnelbana) is not only a way of transportation, it is also a place where you can see a lot of art. Sometimes it is a bit hidden and you have to keep your eyes open to find it, but when you start to look around you, above you, beside you, you will start to notice that it is everywhere! Here are some photos that I took at several stations: T-Centralen, Stadshagen, Fridhemsplan and Kungsträdgården. Nowadays about 130 artists are present through their art in the Tunnelbana. This can either be skulptures, mosaics or paintings. Maybe it is not all to your taste, but it certainly gives character to the place. And it made my trip with the Tunnelbana not only a trip from A to B, but also something worth to look at and discover.
Some of the stations that are known for their art are: Kungsträdgården, Östermalmstorg, Stadion, Rissne, Universitetet and Fridhemsplan.
Bicycle

A great way to see Stockholm, you can ride the bike almost everywere with out any problem. You can hire a bike in one place and return it in an other place so you dont have to return it at the place where you borrowed it.

Stockholm in General & Thousand Island Cruise
by ryaner
Hi
In Stockholm at the start of August.Staying at STF Fridhemsplan Hostel in Kungsholmen. Arriving in city late at night so bus leaves us at the train station is it safer to walk or get a taxi and is there taxis outside the station?
Is it safe around there ?
Also thinking of doing the thousand island tour anyone recommend it ?
Also looking for places to eat and drink on a mid range budget or any info
Cheers

Fridhemsplan is relatively close to the Central station so you might find that not all taxis want to take you. There is also the underground if it is still running by the time you get there: www.sl.se
I don't know what the Thousand island tour is as I just hop on all sorts of boats when I fancy a trip into the archipelago. Enjoy it! :)
