Brunkeberg tunnel, a popular Instagram spot in Stockholm.

Brunkebergs tunnel is a 231 meters long shortcut for cyclists and pedestrians through a ridge in the city center. It is located between David Bagares gata and Tunnelgatan and turned out to be a difficult task for the engineers back in 1884. Two years later it was ready to welcome the Stockholmers. A classic Instagram spot in Stockholm.

Beautiful view from Monteliusvägen in Södermalm, Stockholm.

A 500-meter long (quarter-mile) walking path with a magnificent view of Lake Mälaren, Stockholm City Hall, and Riddarholmen, especially at sunrise and sunset. The path is lined with charming houses on one side and a beautiful view on the other. There is, of course, a safety rail on the path, but be careful in the wintertime when parts of the path might be a bit slippery.

A group of visitors are walking, looking happy on the cobbled streets of Gamla Stan. Prästgatan is one of the prettiest, lined by beautiful coloured houses in terracotta hues.

Prästgatan is a picturesque street with beautiful houses in the Old Town. The street is mentioned as early as 1586. The name (Priest Street) comes from this being where many priests from the Stockholm Cathedral and the German Church lived. In the corner of Prästgatan/ Kåkbrinken, there&#x27;s an actual rune stone from 1100 in the wall. For obvious reasons - a favorite spot for Instagrammers.

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.
