10. Stockholm’s parks
Approaching 40% of Stockholm is parkland. Long ago, these acres were royal property, for hunting.
Or in the case of Humlegården, land for growing hops for the royal beer. Back in the days when it wasn’t safe to drink the water and royal sailors were allowed to drink three litres of beer a day.
Now the parks are public spaces for walking, jogging, picnics, cycling and of course, finding a cafe for a fika break.
