Monteliusvägen: Best Viewpoint of Stockholm’s Old Town

If you’re a photographer looking for a bird’s eye view of Gamla Stan (the old town of Stockholm), Monteliusvägen is absolutely the best place to do so.

Digital FOTO’s write-up of the Monteliusvägen section:

SKRÆNTEN | Monteliusvägen | På den helt nordlige spids af bydelen Södermalm finder du en sti, som snor sig langs toppen af en skrænt. Herfra kan du se og fotografere ud over vandet og den gamle by, Gamla Stan.

And the English translation:

In the northern tip of the Södermalm district, you will find a path that winds along to the top of a cliff. From here, you can see and photograph the waterfront and the old town of Gamla Stan.

Here’s the exact location of Monteliusvägen on Google Map.
