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

4.5 based on 20,321 reviews
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.

With limited daylight and limited hours in November, Skansen was nevertheless a great experience. We were told at the beginning which areas were "open" but in fact all of it was open as far as we could tell. The "open" areas were the ones with period correct persons that you could speak with and get a better sense of the times. Make sure to go to those - was fun and informative and gave depth. We spent a few hours and didn't see half of what was available, even though most areas didn't have persons to talk to. In the zoo area we enjoyed the playful otters and wolves the most.

The Royal Swedish Opera is a fantastic building and is definitely worth visiting not only for ballet and opera lovers but also for the architecture lovers. It is as stunning as you can expect from the classical European opera house. We attending the “ Nutcracker “ ballet by Tschaikovsky and the performance was beautiful. The staff at the opera is friendly and there much to discover during the break, the old costumes, beautiful corridors and bars. Well worth visiting many many times.
