Relaxation and fitness Stockholm

Långholmen Island is a great place to swim. It can be reached from the Hornstull district of Södermalm via two bridges across Långholmskanalen. If you follow the path along the water or walk up to the park to the west, you will inevitably reach the main beach. It is often crowded and noisy, so you have to go further to find more secret places. The cleanliness of the place is surprising and you can always find a corner of lawn or a flat rock to spread your towel and have a good time.

Urban OM is a yoga and relaxation studio offering yoga classes with real professionals. They also offer dance and meditation classes, as well as events and conferences. They offer daily sessions as well as packs of 10 classes valid for 10 months. The environment is serene and warm, with a friendly atmosphere between members and teachers. After your class, you can also enjoy a cup of hot tea! A great address for a totally relaxing session.

For a day of relaxation in the utmost luxury and comfort, visit the spa at the Grand Hotel Stockholm. An ideal way to forget the cacophony of the city, where you can enjoy a sauna, a glass of champagne, the pool, or massages. They offer different formulas. If you choose the spa day, you'll have unlimited access to everything: pool, hydromassage, hammam, sauna, cold-water pool, relaxation room, etc.

This large park, which refreshes Kungsholmen with its greenery, is the highest point in Stockholm (40 m above sea level). It's made up of hills and trees, some of which are over a hundred years old, so you can always find a quiet spot to relax, take a nap or eat your sandwich. When there's snow, needless to say, tobogganing becomes the national sport. There's an open-air gym, a basketball court, a large dog park and more than enough benches to read a book outside.

When the sun is shining in Stockholm, you want to take a swim. If you've explored the watering holes in the city centre and want a change, try Smedsuddsbaden. This is one of the closest beaches to the centre and probably one of the most popular, located near the West Bridge (Västbron) and framed by the Marieberg and Rålambshov parks. It is ideal for families with children, with a view of the lush green island of Långholmen. Beware, it can get very crowded!
