Kungsträdgården
The most popular park and square in the city centre, with cherry blossoms in spring and an outdoor ice rink in winter.
Kungsträdgården is located in the Norrmalm district of the city centre. It was once a royal kitchen garden and is now the “living room” of the city, hosting gatherings, music festivals, and markets throughout the year. From mid to late April, about 60 Japanese cherry trees bloom at the same time, making it Stockholm's most popular spot for cherry blossom viewing. In winter, an outdoor ice rink is set up, where you can rent skates. The Kungsträdgården metro station nearby is known for its cave-like painted decorations and is also worth a look. Entry to the park is free. You can walk to the Royal Palace, the National Museum, and the Royal Opera from here.
