Royal National City Park forms an arc more than six miles long around and through Stockholm. The venue describes it as the world’s first national urban park and Sweden’s only one. Its website calls it Stockholm’s most visited recreation area. [1, Royal National City Park]

You can walk through the park, known as Ekoparken, and find woods, meadows, rocky hilltops and secluded swimming spots. Visit Stockholm says the park connects with forests around the city and that visitors can encounter deer, hares, foxes and moose, as well as rare birds, butterflies and insects. [2, Visit Stockholm]

The park also contains lakes, streams, bays, marshes and canals. Visit Stockholm lists museums, an amusement park, theatres, sports facilities, castles, inns and residences from different historical periods among its attractions. Hills with centuries-old oak trees and meadows where cows, horses and sheep graze are also part of the area. [2, Visit Stockholm]

The park is large enough for walks lasting days, according to Visit Stockholm. A shorter visit can focus on a walk through one part of it, with the landscape and attractions changing along the way. The supplied information gives no admission price, opening hours or recommended visit length. [2, Visit Stockholm]
