Here are ten of the best spots for a dip, in no particular order. Don't forget your towel!
1. Vinterviken
In Vinterviken, you can find two swimming spots: Örnbergsbadet and Trekantsbadet. Örnbergsbadet is located by the cliffs near Hägerstenshamnen and next to a marina. Trekantsbadet is on Lake Trekanten in Liljeholmen. The lake is close to roads and apartment blocks, but feels like an oasis of nature.
How to get there: The closest tunnelbana is Örnsberg on the red line, or Liljeholmen if you want to go Lake Trekanten.
