More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The helicopter lifts off from a small clearing near Bromma Airport and Stockholm falls away beneath you: ochre roofs of Gamla Stan, the flat crown of City Hall, and the green bowl of Djurgården sliding past in a tidy parade. Window frames become picture frames as the skyline gives way to skerries—rocky, wind-sculpted islets—while the water shimmers and dares you to follow.
