Stortorget
Stortorget is the main square of Stockholm’s Old Town, enclosed by historic buildings. Photograph across the square and include several façades in a single frame to show how their different details fit together.
Search Google MapsStockholm City Hall
Stockholm City Hall combines red brick with a tower topped by three golden crowns. A view across the water can show the building’s full silhouette and place it within the city’s island landscape.
Search Google MapsMonteliusvägen
Monteliusvägen is a walking route on Södermalm with views over central Stockholm. Use the water as a horizontal layer between the foreground and the buildings across the shore, including City Hall in the distance.
Search Google MapsFjällgatan
Fjällgatan overlooks the water east of central Stockholm towards islands including Skeppsholmen and Djurgården. A wide frame lets the shoreline, water and distant buildings form separate layers instead of competing for attention.
Search Google MapsBrunkeberg Tunnel
The circular Brunkeberg Tunnel cuts through a hill in central Stockholm. Stand along the passage’s axis and use its repeating curved walls to lead the eye towards the opposite end of the image.
Search Google MapsT-Centralen Metro Station
At T-Centralen, the blue-line platform is decorated with blue artwork. Make the painted rock surface the main subject and use the platform’s length to give the colour and pattern a clear architectural setting.
Search Google MapsÖstermalm Market Hall
Östermalm Market Hall occupies a brick building on Östermalmstorg. Photograph the exterior as an architectural subject, or frame a selection of market counters closely enough that their different colours and shapes become visible.
Search Google MapsPrästgatan
Prästgatan is a historic street in Gamla Stan lined with old houses. Look along the lane to capture its changing façades, and consider a separate detail of the rune stone set into a wall.
Search Google MapsSkeppsholmen Bridge
The bridge to Skeppsholmen has a golden crown on its railing and a view towards the Royal Palace. Put the crown in the foreground and use the palace across the water as a recognisable backdrop.
Search Google MapsWoodland Cemetery
The Woodland Cemetery combines a pine-covered landscape with modernist architecture. For a quiet, respectful image, photograph the relationship between trees, paths and buildings while giving people and graves their appropriate space.
