Södermalm

It took us a few hours to really explore this historic part of Stockholm with its old houses well preserved and it’s wonderful history. There are great views over the harbour areas and a couple of churches on the way which also have deep histories. We just wondered aimlessly but a fair bit of time is needed to really soak up the atmosphere.

Södermalm is one of the most vibrant and bohemian districts of Stockholm. Colorful cafés, small boutiques, vintage shops, and art galleries make every walk feel like a new discovery. You can truly experience the Swedish fika culture here – don’t miss trying a coffee with a cinnamon bun (kanelbulle). The Monteliusvägen walking path offers a stunning panoramic view of the city, especially at sunset. During the day it’s perfect for shopping and café-hopping, while in the evening you can enjoy lively bars and live music venues. A must-visit if you want to experience Stockholm’s local and creative spirit.

I love this place, nice to live

The Södermalm district covers the island of the same name (formerly called Åsön), which, however, is not fully separated from the peninsula of Södertörn (or the rest of the Swedish mainland), as water to both its north and south does not flow freely but passes through a lock and a man-made waterway. Södermalm is connected to its surrounding areas by a number of bridges. It connects to Gamla stan to the north by Slussen, a grid of road and rail and a lock separating the lake Mälaren from the Baltic Sea, to Långholmen to the northwest by one of the city's larger bridges, Västerbron, to the islet Reimersholme to the west, to Liljeholmen to the southwest by the bridge Liljeholmsbron, to Årsta by Årstabron and Skansbron, to Johanneshov by Johanneshovsbron and Skanstullsbron to the south, and, finally, to Södra Hammarbyhamnen to the east by Danvikstull Bridge. Administratively, Södermalm is part of Stockholm Municipality. It constitutes, together with Gamla stan and some other districts, from 2007 the administrative district Södermalms stadsdelsområde, often translated as Södermalm borough.

Bustling neighborhood with an old town feel. Love the well-preserved historic buildings, the inclusion of parks, nice walkways and wide options shops and restaurants. Well-served by public transport. Here, you can always see the beautiful skies.

Beautiful part of Stockholm with some narrow, cozy streets, wooden red houses, great views and “climate” places. Very good place to hang around and spend lazy few hours while walking in Swedish capital. Best while sunset is near - for “magic hour” photos. Highly recommended.

Very nice place to visit. A lots of things to see and explored, old town hidden in modern town mixing together. You can see 300 years old house and modern arts building in the same place, Södermalm Stockholm

Attention! Thi is not the right location to see anything, Södermalm itself is good area but right this location mentioned on the maps isn’t the right one. You should go more to the seaside to see the neighborhood.
