Stockholm

Kungstradgården

Our final stop after Långholmen was Kungstradgården, where, for a change, there wasn’t any ice skating going on.

Långholmen prison

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

Öst Långholmen

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.
