Djurgårdsstråket: from Blockhusudden to Gamla stan
The City's own 'museum round' on Djurgården: eight kilometres of water, wooden houses, galleries and palaces, ending with the monumental view of the Royal Palace and Strömmen from Strömbron.
Easy – waterside footpaths, cobbled lanes in Djurgårdsstaden and about 300 metres along the busier Djurgårdsvägen

Season
All year. This is the City of Stockholm's walking route no. 11; toilets on the route are mainly in cafés and libraries outside summer.
With children
Long for small legs in one go, but the route follows the city tram (Spårväg City), so you can hop on and off; plenty of museums and cafés to break it up.
