Walking from Downtown Stockholm to Nacka

I had lunch with a friend in the Normalm (downtown) district of Stockholm, and decided to walk back to my apartment in Nacka by foot. It might take an hour if walking direct, but I made a journey out of it and took four times that. Being unplanned, all of the images were taken by my cellphone. It does a pretty good job as an impromtu camera methinks 🙂

From Katarinahissan.

 

 

 

The weather was foreboding, but it ended up only drizzling for a few minutes right as I walked into my apartment.

 

Katarinavägen is basically the road that all the tourist busses drive up which branches east from Slussen.

 

 

These people still hold concerts? lol

 

 

I can see this church from my apartment window; I’ve always wanted to go see it but it was too far away for me to bother. I managed to detour my route massively to walk by it.

These are the rich apartments on what I believe is called Sickla Strand.

The train tracks are part of a disused loop that circles around Södermalm and goes through a tunnel under Stockholm South Hospital, Södersjukhuset. “SOS tunnel” has an entrance to the hospital basement, designed for use during a civil emergency. The tunnel is a very popular place for urban explorers due to it being abandoned (yet upkept), but I have yet to investigate.
