Strandvägen Harbor & Stockholm City Hall


I woke up to a fine and bright Sunday morning.We had a plan to go to Strandvägen to see the harbor, and to hopefully chill down to a park or a cafe next to a harbor, overlooking a beautiful bridge. 

We live near the Odenplan T-Bana here in Stockholm. I was told by my stepdad that he and my mom walk there often, and it was about four to five kilometers by walk. Four to five kilometers is not that bad, considering I have walked about 9.5 kilometers because we had nothing to do one morning even before school started. 

So here's the view of the harbor:


We walked along the trail towards a small playground and a view of this bridge:


By the way, that little "dock" thing is free for use, and you can have lunch or a picnic there, overlooking the water. My stepdad walked along this trail at night and said that the view was very beautiful. There were only three docks though.

Also note that there is a restaurant near here, and you can also see a magnificent view of the water. The restaurant also has a cafe.

After about fifteen more minutes of walking, we took a break and sat on a bench overlooking some boats and some swans and ducks.

So after this, we went to a large playground and stayed there for about half an hour, before we went back the trail, opting to go to Stockholm's City Hall.

The city hall was very elegant. It's architectural work was outstanding. Did you know that the Nobel Prize banquet is held here? I think there also is a cafe here. Don't forget to visit the gift shop to buy expensive postcards and fridge magnets. Kidding, but seriously, if you want to get a souvenir from the City Hall, do save.
