Strandvägen is the waterfront road
located in the Östermalm district with some of the most prestigious addresses in Stockholm. With its tree-lined esplanade, boat quays and gorgeous architecture, it has become a favorite promenade for tourists and Stockholmers alike. It is about 1 kilometer in length and connects the downtown area with Djurgården (where you will find popular sights like the
Vasa Museum and
Skansen Park). Along the way (in the summertime) you will find a few cafés and casual restaurants. One of special note is
Strandbryggan Sea Club, a floating restaurant & bar that I've mentioned earlier just at the base of
the bridge over to Djurgården.

On the western end of the street, along the shores of the
Nybroviken inlet, you have the starting point for the
Strömma and
Cinderella boats heading out to the archipelago. Don't feel like walking? The
Djurgård Streetcar line runs along Strandvägen taking people from the downtown area out to Djurgården and back. Want to walk even further? The
Djurgårds Canal walking/jogging path starts at the Djurgårds bridge. The easiest way to get to Strandvägen from the
Rival Hotel is by subway... red line, 4 stations to Östermalmstorg and then it's just a ten minute walk down to the water.
