Viewpoint in Stockholm
Skinnarviksberget
Skinnarviksberget is a rocky hilltop on Sodermalm and the highest natural point in central Stockholm. Free. Locals come here with blankets and wine on summer evenings to watch the sun set over Kungsholmen and the water. There is no sign, no railing, no ticket booth. Just a rock, a view, and the city. Budget travelers bring a supermarket picnic and join the locals for Stockholm’s best free sunset.
