Visitors can enjoy the srolling along the lane and streets in the Gamla Stan and explore it in museums. The city is compact and easily explored on foot, although its watery nature, and many islands and archipelagos, may have you looking around for a boat.Regardless of your age, interests, or the time of year, Stockholm is loaded with interesting sights and activities. Even window shopping for beautifully designed Swedish crafts can be an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. And after dark, Stockholm becomes one of the livelier cities in the north of Europe.The forested island of Djurgården (Deer Park) lies about 3km to the east of Gamla Stan.The open-air park Skansen, on Djurgården, offers Lill-Skansen, the children's own "Little Skansen." There's a petting zoo with lots of child-friendly animals, including pigs, goats, and horses. Before going to Skansen, stop off at the Vasa Museum, which many youngsters find an epic adventure. The evening can be capped by a visit to Gröna Lunds Tivoli, which also is on Djurgården.One of these model developments is Farsta, completed in 1960, although much altered since then.
