PHOTOGRAPHY: VÄSTERBRON

Västerbron (literally Western Bridge) crosses Riddarfjärden (last stretch of Lake Mälaren before it joins up with the Baltic Sea in Saltsjön) and is one of the largest and most recognisable bridges in Stockholm. It joins the north and south of the city between Rålambohovsparken (Kungsholmen) with Långholmen island and Hornstull (most westerly part of Södermalm).

There are some great views of the bridge from the quays in Riddarholmen, but if you want to get close up views, the nearest T-Bana stations are Fridhelmsplan/ Thorildsplan (Kungsholmen) and Hornstull (Södermalm).
