Lily's Burger
47 Hornsbergs StrandAward winning local bakery! Quiet place to start a day with a nice coffee or visit for a Swedish fika. Everything here is good and fresh. For classic Swedish fika - try any of their "bullar" (buns: cinnamon and cardamom are the classic ones) or smaller sweets like chokladbollar (=chocolate balls) or dammsugare (=vaccum cleaner!). Breakfast is served. Lunches are very light.

Neighborhoods
The area of land visible across the lake from us. It can easily be entered across the bridge. If you follow the waterside pathway, it will lead you to the boathouses (can look around!), a couple of water-front local restaurants and a typical Swedish 4H "Garden" (Gard) - home to animals (hourses, ponys, goats, sheeps, bunnies, etc.) that are a big draw for the little ones. The 4H in Solna is nestled next to a large playground and horse riding school.

If you cross the bridge to the Solna side and walk right (past the Kristinebergs castle), you will reach Vasastan. One of its main parks is a great place to watch locals and perhaps even join on the (free) ice skating rink. You would need to bring your own skates (cheap to buy at any sports shop in town). The perimeter of the park is lined with cafes and restaurants. For a quick bite - visit The Cousins (Italian cousins serving unique pizza with fuzzy wines and craft beers).

Outdoor museum loved by adults and kids alike. For those who appreciate architecture - you will find Scandinavian homes transported whole from their original places. There is also a zoo featuring Nordic animals (lynx, bears...). And several re-enactments of crafts from the bygone eras are taking place daily. In the winter - Skansen also hosts one of the most visited Christmas markets in Stockholm
