A great place to swim or just enjoy a warm day. Doesn’t cost much and easily accessible.
I go here in the mornings before working - it’s really lovely to swim outside, leaves you feeling refreshed all day! Opens weekdays at six am!

Load the HSL-app
Load the app for public transport and you have access to route information and you can buy tickets etc. Available in English.
Getting around
The city bikes
Use them! At least I find biking the easiest way to go around. The trams are also nice, though :)
