Probably the best park in the world. One thousand acres of gardens, trees, recreation areas, with rowing, sailing, swimming, aquarium, miniature railway, 'lost' lagoon and more. The best part though is the seawall that extends round the 10km perimeter, allowing for walking, running, skating and cycling next to the ocean. Great views too.
I stopped at Stockholm on my trip to the North Cape in 2001 (in a motorhome). The island of Djurgården is the best part - away from the city centre which, let's face it, is just like any city centre. Djurgården has great parklands and museums, the best of which is Skansen, the world's first open-air museum. With exhibits from all over the country, it gives a great taste of Swedish life.
