Timeline

  1. 11:00

    Ho's

    Grab an early bite at Ho’s. The kitchen opens at 16:00 on weekdays, so arrive by 12:00 if you want to beat the lunch rush or just enjoy the space before it gets busy. Note that Ho’s is closed on Mondays.

  2. 11:30

    Långholmen

    Walk to Långholmen. The island is accessible via the route from T Hornstull. Once you arrive, head straight for the small sandy beach area described in the anchor details.

  3. 12:00

    Långholmens amfiteater

    Find Långholmens amfiteater. It is a short four-minute walk from the anchor point. Sit here to watch the light shift across the water. This is the perfect spot to simply be on the island.

  4. 12:45

    Långholmens Wärdshus

    End your visit at Långholmens Wärdshus. It is just three minutes away from the amphitheater. You can sit down for a drink or a late lunch. The restaurant is open daily from 12:00, so you will find it ready for you.

Local tip

The island is small enough to walk between all these spots in under ten minutes. Bring a jacket if you plan to sit by the water, as the breeze can be cool even on sunny days.

Check before you go

  • Långholmens Wärdshus closes at 17:00 on Sundays, so arrive earlier if visiting on a weekend.
