Picnics

It’s no wonder that Stockholmers love picnics – their city is made for it. Leafy parks, open, grassy spaces, docks and piers with breathtaking views all invite you to sit down, relax, and tuck into a picnic.

Browse the stalls in Hötorgshallen food market and put together a first-class packed lunch with influences from all over the world.

Picnic spots within walking distance of Nordic Sea Hotel:

• City hall park: The lawn in front of the City Hall has a stunning view of Riddarfjärden bay.
• The west side of Skeppsholmen island, by the waterside: Small grassy areas with a view of the Stockholm Sound.
• Kungsträdgården, by the waterside: Enjoy a picnic with an ‘urban’ feel on this pleasant lawn in the centre of town.
• Riddarholmskajen quay on the island of Riddarholmen: There are steps down to the quay. Ideal in the evening – the sunset over Riddarfjärden bay is unbeatable!
