Pehr and Richard Hante are known for having, if not the world's then at least Sweden’s most Christmasy-home (during the holidays, that is. Not all-year-round!). Pehr was born in Småland but has lived in Stockholm since 1985. Richard on the other hand was born in Stockholm but has also lived in Uppsala and the small village of Jormvattnet. They live on Kungsholmen together with the Spanish Water Dog Patrik, have a daughter (Cornelia) and a granddaughter (Wiola). Together they simply devour movies (watching every Oscar-nominated film is an annual tradition) and love to play miniature golf, arranging board game nights, good food, good wine, and travel. And during their travels, they try out every Escape Room they can find!

5 boat trips you don't want to miss

Skinnarviksberget, afternoon

4 great spots for an outdoor breakfast

Fjäderholmarna

Where the archipelago begins, only a 20-minute boat trip from downtown Stockholm. The excellent restaurant Fjäderholmarnas krog is open during the summer season, and for the julbord Christmas buffet. The popular Rökeriet restaurant and café is located by the guest harbor. Many artisans have studios and stores in the center of the island. Fjäderholmarna provides a nice taste of the archipelago for people who don&#x27;t have time to explore further. Boats depart from Strandvägen and Slussen during the summer.

Vaxholm

Idyllic archipelago town with many well-preserved wooden houses from the turn of the last century painted in the archipelago’s typical delicate pastel tones. Vaxholm has numerous charming restaurants, cafés, and shops. Waxholm Hotel, with its great views of the fortress and harbor, is a classic choice for lunch or dinner, or, why not a Christmas Buffet. Vaxholm is easily accessible year round, by Waxholmsbolagets boat traffic or by bus. If you take the bus, the trip is covered by Stockholm&#x27;s public transport service.

Mosebacketerrassen

Since October 2, Mosebacketerrassen has transformed into a winter garden, <a href="/link/3f62e3978c294be9b89f6b0d9198d04a.aspx?epslanguage=en">Mosebacke Vinterträdgård</a>.<a href="/link/9d2538f70f284f42a3ceb5ff8f7bdac8.aspx?epslanguage=en">Södra Teatern&#x27;s</a> open-air terrace is a classic among Stockholmers during the summer. Here, you can drink beer on wooden benches, play some pétanque, or challenge your friends for a game of table tennis. Mosebacke Restaurant serves simple dishes, soft ice cream, and waffles.The view from the terrace is among the best in Stockholm, and only light bulbs separate you and the sky when it starts to darken and the city lights up beneath you. Mosebacketerrassen is open every day during the summer, weather permitting. Drop-in only and age limit 20 years.

Experienced swimmers will enjoy swimming from the rocks with a view of Lake Mälaren. Located in a residential area in the central Kungsholmen island.

Fredhällsbadet

The exterior of Drottningholm palace, a great example of an 18th-century royal residence inspired by the Palace of Versailles.

Board a century-old steamer and sail to world heritage site Drottningholm, the private residence of the Swedish Royal Family. Travel time 50 min on Lake Mälaren offering beautiful scenery. Café and restaurant.

Boat to Drottningholm Palace

Summer in Stockholm. The forests of Djurgården as seen from Gärdet. Boats are docked in the waters of Djurgårdbrunnsviken and hot air balloons can be seen in the sky.

Beloved by both Stockholmers and visitors, Djurgården is a tranquil oasis in the middle of Stockholm. The island has been in possession of the crown since the 15th century. Like no other place in Stockholm it collects many of the city’s most famous museums and cultural attractions (the Vasa Museum, Gröna Lund, the Abba museum and Skansen to name a few) with green nature, parks, and family-friendly activities. Djurgården can be reached by bus, tram or ferry from central Stockholm. Though on a beautiful summer day a walk along Strandvägen, from The Royal Dramatic Theatre to Djurgårdsbron, is highly recommended.

The highest natural point in central Stockholm is a favorite place among the locals for picnics and parties under the open sky. The views are stunning – across Kungsholmen, Gamla Stan (Old Town), the Stockholm City Hall, and other points of interest. The park beneath the hill has a small playground and an open-air café where you can enjoy a light lunch or an ice cream in one of the hammocks.
