Walk Along Västerbron (The Western Bridge)

View from the top, looking at City Hall
One of my favorite walks to accept on a sunny, summertime twenty-four lx minutes catamenia is over Västerbron (The Western Bridge). Built inwards 1935, this 600 meter long couple connects the islands of Södermalm (where the Rival Hotel is located) too Långholmen amongst the isle of Kungsholmen. It provides smashing views of Gamla Stan too downtown Stockholm to the eastward too the Essinge islands inwards Lake Mälaren to the west. Location.
Locks left yesteryear lovers at the top.
As in that place are smashing walking paths to a greater extent than or less both Södermalm too Kunsgholmen, the couple tin terminate move combined amongst a longer walk... for example, in that place is a beautiful promenade along the S coast of Kungsholmen betwixt the City Hall too Västerbron. Lovers stimulate got taken upwardly leaving padlocks on the railing at the apex of the bridge, symbolizing the promise that their human relationship volition final forever.There are subway stations on each halt of the bridge. On the Södermalm side you lot stimulate got Hornstull (red line) too on the Kungsholmen side you lot stimulate got Fridhemsplan (green & bluish lines). Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 flake of trivia: this walk is business office of the Stockholm Marathon road too is considered (with its boring uphill rise) to move 1 of the toughest parts. Much easier to walk it!

One of Sweden's most honey artists, Monica Zetterlund, sang a beautiful vocal almost Stockholm called "Sakta vi gå genom stan" which contains a wonderful reference to the bridge.
