From Gamla Stan, cross the bridge over the main north-south link road towards the west of the island, onto Riddar-Holmen. On the westernmost point of this island there is an outdoor cafe serving nice sandwiches and drinks, including beer and wine.

It's a real sun trap and you can see right across the city part of Lake Malaren, where numerous ferries and pleasure boats go to and fro. Because it's off the main tourist trails it's generally peaceful. Some tables are under trees, some are for pro-sun-worshippers. There is no better place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon reading the Observer you picked up from the main railway station earlier.
