On our way back from Långholmen we passed through Hornstull.

There was a GT3000 meet on the prison island of Långholmen.

Långholmen prison is now a hotel and hostel, where the rooms are cells. It also has a small museum to show information about some of the more infamous prisoners and development of the prison itself. When the prison closed, the island became a leisure island, a parkland near the centre of the city. See also Långholmen and Långholmen Öst

We took a visit to the other end of Långholmen, the ex-prison island, now city centre sanctuary, with views up to Högalids kyrka and back across the lake toward Riddarholmen.

We went to Millesgården”, a sculpture garden on Lidingö in the grounds of the house of, and dedicated to, the artist and sculptor Carl Milles. There are three terraces looking back across the water toward Ropsten and beyond to the city, he collected many copies of his works around the world, including his fountain at Nacka Strand.

On the way home from Långholmen we stopped by on Gamla Stan again.
