No photo yetLångholmens klippbad is a rocky bathing area on the north-east shore of Långholmen, a small island in central Stockholm reached on foot or by bus from Södermalm. It has flat rocks, clear water and, close by on the island, walking paths, grass and picnic spots for a longer outing.
Royal Djurgården is the island at the centre of Stockholm, threaded by wide gravel paths, woodland and waterfront trails that run between the city's museums and historic buildings. It forms part of the Royal National City Park and is crossed on foot by millions of visitors every year.

Leash rules, off-leash hours and whether dogs are allowed inside are set locally and change without notice. Each listing here says what the venue or the responsible authority publishes, and the listing page links to the page we checked, so you can confirm the current rule before you set out. Outside a signed off-leash area, keep the dog on a lead.
No venue can pay to be listed or to rank higher, and no listing carries an invented rating or a stock photograph standing in for the real place. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will re-check it.
Heath and common land where off-lead walking is written into the rules, plus pubs with a dog wash in the garden.
A brasserie that says outright it welcomes dogs, dog cafes in the Marais, and one of the city's thirteen off-leash areas.
Beer gardens older than most countries, a forest where the lake is legally open to dogs, and the most dog-tolerant cafe culture in Europe.
Brown cafes with a dog under the table, a designated dog beach on the Gaasperplas, and a canal-house hotel that takes one small dog.
Terraces where a leashed dog is welcome by law, the city's one official dog beach, and a brewery hall with room to spare.
Third-wave coffee with a water bowl, the first dog park in the old city, and a rooftop with a view over the Tagus.
Send it in and we will check it against the venue's own information before it goes live. Venue owners can also send a photograph of their place — free, with the credit kept.
