viewpoints
The northern parts of Södermalm offer some excellent viewpoints with panoramas of the central parts of the city: Walking eastwards from Slussen up Katarinavägen you will reach the picturesque street Fjällgatan, with a view of Gamla Stan from the east. Monteliusvägen, a walking path that you reach from Bastugatan north of T Mariatorget offers a similar view from the west. Benches and tables offer picnic possibilities. Skinnarviksberget, a hill further west, close to the Zinkensdamm subway station, is a good option if you prefer cliffs to streets. When exiting the station turn back and head to the north. Walk up a small street to the right and climb the hill. Look for the "Kattenvägen" sign.

art
Beyond the art museums such as the Museum of Modern Art, the National Museum and Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde see Museums above, Stockholm has a vivid art scene and offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy contemporary art in galleries, exhibition halls and public places. The Stockholm official visitors guide has a list of galleries (http://www.stockholmtown....). The newly opened museum of photography is also well worth a visit with its great selection. And don't forget to look at the art in the Stockholm subway stations!
