You will pass iconic sights like the City Hall, the Royal Palace, Riddarholmen and Gamla Stan, the Old Town. The route continues across bridges and along bike paths to Djurgården (Royal City Park), a peaceful island filled with nature, museums and historic buildings. The mix of well-known highlights and local favourites gives you a great overview of the city.
