This unique boulevard of cultural institutions comprises first-class museums presenting everything from applied arts, film and architecture to art, Jewish history and ancient sculptures. Famous architects such as Richard Meier and O.M. Ungers were involved in the construction and expansion of many of the architectonic gems on display. A few examples are the fine art Städel Museum with its underground exhibition spaces, the German Film Museum, the Communication Museum and the Jewish Museum. The Museum Embankment Festival, one of Europe's largest cultural festivals, takes place every year at the last weekend in August.

Mount Lycabettus (in Greek: Lykavittos, Λυκαβηττός) sits right in the centre of Athens, rising 277 meters (908 feet) above sea level. Getting yourself up to this altitude gives you an exquisite 360° view over Athens, the Aegean sea and the ships in Piraeus. When the sky is clear, you can see all the way to the mountains in Peloponnese. As well as views, there is also a chic cafe-restaurant, a 19th century Chapel and an amphitheatre.

Situated on the hills with panoramic views of Vättern and the city, the over 100-year-old Stadsparken stands as an oasis within walking distance from the city centre. Surrounded by beautiful nature, this tranquil retreat invites visitors to explore its wonders. Take a leisurely stroll and discover the bird museum, arboretum, a variety of animals, charming kiosks, and delightful restaurants. Engage in a friendly game of mini golf, or perhaps, relish the nostalgia of a dance hall. Families can delight in the municipality's largest playground, offering endless fun for little ones. For sports enthusiasts, Stadsparksvallen, the home arena for the local soccer team, adds an extra layer of excitement to this idyllic park, making it a perfect destination for both relaxation and recreation.
