John Kyrka
Very near the commercial Sveavägen, Döbelnsgatan street, is the neo-Gothic church of Johannes Kyrka, surrounded by a garden dotted with tombs. I do not know because I visited on a rainy evening or my propensity to cemeteries, but the truth is that I found a timeless haven in the heart of the city. From here, stairs lead to Kunsgatan, Stockholm's Gran Via with its twin towers of King Kungstornen or. The contrast only heightening my eyes the value of silence Kyrka Johannes Park.
Djurgardsbrunnskanale
Djurgarden is one of my predilections Stockholm, but if I stay with one of his landscapes I have clear my choice: the channel that separates the park Ladugardsgardet. The pie in the bike, is one of those rides that you never forget. It is best reached by foot walking before the imposing row of old mansions Strandvagen.
Norr Malarstrand
From the charming park Tègnerlunden continue until you reach the bridge over to the island of Kungsholmen, where the City Council (may, and should, visit if only to admire the golden hall). From the town hall part one of the most rewarding walks in the city, which runs by Norris Malarstrand, a former textile landscape by the Bay Riddarfjarden, converted into residential area a century ago, with charming docks along the route. I recommend continuing to Vasterbron bridge (costs over 15 minutes to cross) to reach the Söder district.

Monteliusvägen
Precisely at the top of the hill Södermalm is my favorite place in Stockholm: the winding walk Monteliusvägen, who gives a great view of the city, and place conducive to hear promises of eternal love. I visited one morning, walking from Zinkens Vag, a bucolic succession of small cottages in the neighborhood of Zinkensdamm. And back again another day as night was falling over the city, this time after traveling from one end to the street Gotgatan until puente de Johanneshovsbron (Sodra carrying Hammarby-Hamnen). On both occasions I was intrigued by the plot picnic ride, its perch on floating boats Söder and pan Mälastrand Riddarholmen, Gamla Stan and central Stockholm.
Fjalgatan and period houses
Also Söder, but in the face of the hill overlooking the docks where the ferries dock (City Gärds harbor) is that for some is the most beautiful street in Stockholm, lined with old wooden houses formerly occupied eighteenth dockworkers. Too bad no one has thought to prohibit the parking of cars on this stretch to preserve the stale atmosphere of this neighborhood that seems to have chosen purposely away, uphill, from central Stockholm.
Stortorget
No tourist visiting Stockholm wander stop Old Town, the historic city center, where towering office buildings and churches coexist with souvenir and craft shops, libraries and museums. Stroll along the concurridísima West Langgatan, the most commercial street of the neighborhood, can get to be overwhelming, but behind it there are a few places where you recover the traveler insurance intimacy with the city. The square is one of them Storgorten. Vestige of bloody settling of accounts, medieval flavor of this square with the The Nobel Museum (Old Exchange Building) is unmistakable, with its beautiful stone fountain. A haven in the bustle of Gamla Stan.

Skeppsholmen
In a city of islands have to opt for any of them. The old Navy base Swedish Skeppsholmen is unmistakable from any point in the city by vintage boat moored at their docks that serves as a shelter. The arrival to the island through the iron bridge Skeppsholmsbron, dandy the espalda a la Strömjaken ya the monumental Nybrokajen, merely foreshadow the cultural oasis of quiet walks along the waters of Current is. I called attention especially clusters of colored boxes to poles tied together with one of the piers.
Kastellholmen
After traveling from end to end Skeppshomen you reach the bridge over the tiny rocky island Kastellholmen, crowned by a castle where every morning XIX flag is hoisted war. It runs in a heartbeat, but since its cliffs is perceived more serene Stockholm, with the range of Södermalm and Gamla Stan in front of us. Is, certainly, a visit to a sunset.
Prastgatan
If I have to choose a street in Gamla Stan, ESA Prästgatan, which runs parallel to the populous Vasterlanggatan and has some memorable corners, especially when the day declines and ocher facades of its buildings shine like never before in the narrow cobbled. Here is a language and leisurely conversation footsteps, Bicycle sleeping carefree about portals, an atmosphere of introspection that does not bode adjacent bustle. And that is the miracle.

Vanadislunden
Far from the usual tourist routes, This neighborhood park Vasastan perched on a hill was an unexpected surprise. The image of the capilla de Stefan chapel silhouetted against the skyline of Östermalm floored me, just to check the existence of a nearly century-old pool complex. So here is to get walking Sveavägen then go into the boulevards of Östermalm inexcusable making a stop at the Olympic Stadium, which can enter without much ado to the very track.
