Kungsholmen

Kungsholmen is an island on Lake Malaren which is northwest of Stockholm. It can be easily explored on foot, and you can take advantage of the boat services between the islands. You can get here by metro or bus, but it can be a bit complicated to get the route right. It's half an hour's walk from Gamla Stan and Slussen main train station. The island is quite large, with two beautiful parks, and is linked to Norrmalm by six bridges. Points of interest include the Stadshuset, home to the Town Hall, built at the beginning of the twentieth century, the palace of justice, the Kristineber palace, and the art deco buildings in the centre of the island.
