Several interesting art and architecture museums are located on Skeppsholmen. This small island lies just over the footbridge from the larger Norrmalm area and just around the bend/across the water (one more foot bridge, past the dinner boats and ice cream stands) coming from the Northeast edge of Gamla Stan. A nice stroll along the water, past the Grand Hotel, onto the longer bridge (the one with the crowns), and here you are, with indoor and outdoor museums, lovely serenity for romance or nature appreciation, and an amusement park at the end. Another island, to the east, is Djurgården, which boasts the world's first open-air museum, Skansen, whose exhibits include 150 houses from the various regions of Sweden.
