Fjällgatan Stockholm

Best view of the town

Maria from Stockholm

""Fjällgatan" is one of the most beautiful places in Stockholm. You get amazing views over a lot of the city -- I've been coming here since I was a child..."

Fjällgatan is one of the most beautiful places in Stockholm. After you have left the subway station Slussen, which is forever being rebuilt and is regrettably ugly, you can turn your eyes to the water from Fjällgatan. Thanks to the fact that it is situated high above the rest of the city, you get an amazing view over the island of Kungsholmen with the City Hall, parts of the old town and the island of Djurgården with Gröna Lund in addition to lots of big and small boats. The beautiful location has attracted some famous restaurants, like Hermans vegan restaurant which has been located there for decades and the coffee shop Fjällgatans kaffestuga, which among other things serve nice ice cream. For me it has been a tradition since I was a child to visit regularly, especially during summer. One advantage with this walk is that the view never looks the same. You see a lot of the sky and so much nature, and depending on light conditions and season it keeps changing and it keeps being impressive.

Fjällgatan is a short walk from the subway station Slussen where you can take the green or red subway (4 minutes going south from the Central station).

Stockholm Spotter Maria

About me I am a voice actress who enjoys nature and animals. I also enjoy discovering my city - and other places as well - on foot and try to find quiet corners with energizing nature around me whenever I want to explore my city and new destinations alike. I occasionally act in front of the camera and I also enjoy going to the movies quite a lot. I find it interesting visiting spots that are connected to interesting directors, great actors from the past, places where they have lived, worked or places that just had an impact on their lives. Why Stockholm What I like mos...
