The waterways of Stockholm are not only beautiful to look at, they are also so clean and clear you can take a dip right in the middle of town. There are not a lot of cities in the world that can make that claim! Check on several lovely beaches to bask on and cliffs to jump from around the city. Here are a few examples:

Smedsuddsbadet
This swimming beach at Rålambshov Park Beach is popular with families. Sun-worshipping Stockholmers choose neighboring Rålambshov Park instead.

Långholmesbadet
Narrow beaches and several large rocks offer good swimming for the experienced. The green island of Långholmen is a popular destination for swimmers.

Brunnsviksbadet
A swimming beach in Frescati Hage at Brunnsviken in the Ekoparken park. There are also charming inlets and beaches near Haga Park for experienced swimmers. Walk or take the subway to the Universitetet station.

Fredhällsbadet
Experienced swimmers will enjoy swimming from the rocks with a view of Lake Mälaren. Take the green subway line to Kristineberg and walk along the water’s edge to the swimming area.

Fjäderholmarnas bad
