Stora Skuggan - in the countryside in the centre of Stockholm

Advertisement

It's easy to think you're in the countryside when you walk around Stora Skuggan, but you're not. In fact, you are in the centre of Stockholm, just a stone's throw from the University's metro station. Yesterday my mum invited me (Helena) for lunch at Stora Skuggan's Wärdshus.

Animals and nature at Stora Skuggan

Stora Skuggan is a historic area in the National City Park on Norra Djurgården in Stockholm. There are large green areas, an allotment association, several historic buildings and a 4H farm with horses, cows, pigs, rabbits and chickens. When walking around here, it is easy to forget that you are in the centre of Stockholm!

Lunch at Stora Skuggans Wärdshus

There are two restaurants that are both nicely situated in the greenery: Skafferiet and Stora Skuggans Wärdshus. For us was Stora Skuggans Wärdshus and herring box with mashed potatoes (98 SEK incl. salad buffet and coffee). Very nice! Have you been to Stora Skuggan at any time or do you have other tips on places in the middle of the city that feel like the country?
