While in Stockholm I went on a day trip to Tyresta National Park and absolutely loved it! There are a variety of trails of different lengths that are well marked and suitable for people of varying abilities/fitness. If you can I would definitely recommend seeing Lake Årsjön within the park. It is a beautiful lake and a perfect place to take a little break.
2. Stockholm Old Town

The Old Town, unsurprisingly, is the oldest part of Stockholm. It's certainly the tourist's go-to destination, but that doesn’t detract from its architectural and otherwise urban beauty.

Cobble streets, quirky nooks and crannies, good mix of shops bars, cafes and beautiful buildings and museums, we stayed within Gamla Stan and very glad we did, easy access from there to everywhere and lots of museums worth walking to nearby. Definitely worth trying to stay within Gamla Stan area. We stayed in small scandic hotel which was located just at one end of Gamla Stan.

This excellent free museum is located under the Stockholm Parliament & is accessible via steps & a lift off Norrbro, one of the bridges to Gamla Stan. It tells the story of early Stockholm amongst the ruins found when a proposed car park was excavated. It's very well thought out with both the history & day to day life of the cities residents explained in both Swedish & English. Given the early sunset at this time of year, combined with the cold, we found this a wonderful place to spend an hour late in the day. It's wonderful that it's completely free as this is one of the more interesting museums I have visited.

We visited the Viking Museum just by chance as I was worried that it may not be suitable for teenagers . My 16yr old loved it as did my 10 yr old . Alex the guide was fantastic. He definitely made it fun and real . He engaged all of the crowd and was very informative. alex even had a sword fight with my kids which was fun to watch . Thankyou Alex and the other staff for making our experience so good .Make sure you visit you won’t be disappointed .

8. Skogskyrkogarden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 506 reviews
The Unesco World Heritage Skogskyrkogården is beautiful all year round, much due to the unique way it is woven into the landscape. The cemetery never closes, so you can easily acces the World Heritage when you prefer, throughout the year. More than 2,000 funeral ceremonies take place at the Skogskyrkogården each year. This means that the five chapels are in frequent use and therefore closed to the public. If you are interested in the chapels and their interiors, come along for a public guided tour or book a private tour. We also have audio and visitor's guides, which you can download prior to your visit. Please visit our website for more information.

I enjoyed wandering around the cemetery on Christmas Day with unfortunately all chapels closed (Lewerentz, Asplund). The landscaping is remarkable and the attention to detail. The new crematory all in brick is another architectural highlight. The places are easily accessible from the Tunnelbana station named after the cemetery grounds.
