This UNESCO world heritage site is well worth a detour on a beachy day. One of the most peaceful places in Stockholm. Towering pines keep guard over the souls of the departed. I've added photos from All Saint's Day, when thousands of Stockholmers descend on the cemetery to pay their respects. There are so many people that entrepreneurial hot dog sellers set up their stalls at the gates.

The architecture and landscaping are exquisite. Don't miss Elm Hill, Seven Springs Way and Woodland Chapel. The official English-language website is an excellent guide: skogskyrkogarden.stockholm.se/in-english

Beautiful and peaceful. The main lawn and large chapel have impressive woodwork.
