How to Get to Reimersholme#
Reimersholme is a small island immediately west of Södermalm in central Stockholm and is reached on foot from the Hornstull area. Take the Stockholm Metro (T‑bana) to Hornstull (red line) and then walk across the short footbridges from Långholmen/Reimersholmsbron - roughly a 5-10 minute walk from Hornstull station.
You can also reach the area by local buses serving Hornstull or by bicycle along the island and bridge cycle routes from central Södermalm.
Tips for Visiting Reimersholme#
- Approach Reimersholme on foot from Södermalm (Hornstull area) - it's a short, pleasant walk or cycle across the bridge and is primarily a local residential/island park area rather than a major tourist site.
- Head for the waterfront path and small parks on the island for views back toward central Stockholm-many visitors miss these quiet vantage points while staying on the busier Södermalm side.
- If you plan photography or a relaxed visit, go in the early evening when locals are out and the light over the city is best; amenities are limited, so plan logistics in advance.
