Walks in Essingeöarna.

One editor-picked walk through Essingeöarna, plus nearby routes for the same morning if you want to keep going.

Two midstream islands of 1940s modernism, shore paths, and the motorway roaring overhead.

Other walks close to Essingeöarna.

Sorted by distance from the start of stora and lilla essingen: the funkis islands. Good for stitching together a longer day.

Long wooden jetties out into the water, west-facing, built for the sunset swim and the fika after.

A former prison turned hostel, woodland cliff paths, small beaches, and Västerbron arching overhead.

The calm 1940s housing island almost no visitor finds — a shore path all the way round, and the old aquavit works.

A riverside boardwalk, a Sunday flea market, and a twin-towered brick church on the hill above.
