Exploring Kvarnholmen: Stockholm’s Secret Island

Let's go! I start this walk in the west part of Nacka Strand and cross over to Kvarnholmen, walking along the scenic north side of the island, and ending at Finnboda Hamn, a location featured in the 2016 movie The Girl in the Spider's Web.

Starting Point: Nacka Strand
We start at Nacka Strand, a nice suburb area known for its marina, stylish architecture, and views of the Stockholm archipelago. From here, we head towards Svindersviksbron (Known as Kvarnholmabron), the beautiful 2016 arch bridge connecting Nacka Strand to Kvarnholmen.

Crossing Kvarnholmabron
As you cross Kvarnholmabron, enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding waterways and archipelago. The bridge provides an elevated perspective, perfect for capturing stunning photos of the Stockholm skyline and the natural beauty of the area.

Exploring Kvarnholmen's North Side
Once you reach Kvarnholmen, follow the path along the north side of the island. Kvarnholmen is an area rich in history, originally an industrial hub with a focus on milling. Today, it has been transformed into a trendy residential neighborhood with a unique blend of historic and modern architecture.

Historic and Modern Fusion
As you walk, you'll notice the beautifully restored industrial buildings, now home to cafes, shops, and modern apartments. The path along the north side offers incredible views of Djurgården, Fjäderholmarna, and the glittering waters of the Baltic Sea.

Final Stop: Finnboda Hamn
The walk concludes at Finnboda Hamn, a revitalized harbor area with a rich shipbuilding history. It's now a charming district with waterfront restaurants, parks, and residential spaces.
Fun Fact: This area is featured in the 2016 movie The Girl in the Spider's Web, where Lisbeth Salander makes a daring escape by driving her bike over the ice. Movie enthusiasts might recognize this spot from that thrilling scene.    • Lisbeth rides the bike on ice from Th...
