Svampen
The first of Sweden’s modern ‘mushroom’ water towers, Svampen was built in 1958 and now functions as a lookout tower. There are good views of lake Hjälmaren and a cafe at the top (daily specials Skr95). Take bus 11.

Kaknästornet
The dowdy retro decor atop this 155m-high communications tower – Stockholm’s tallest building – is thoroughly compensated by the 360-degree views over Stockholm and the lush green archipelago. Skip the restaurant for the cafe, where a mean chocolate cake makes the perfect prop for ferry-spotting and sunset vistas.

Katarinahissen
Get high (literally) with a trip to the top of this industrial-age show-off. Connecting Slussen to the lofty Söder cliffs, the original 1883 steam lift was replaced with a less romantic model in 1936. Still, the views remain striking and the sky-high Eriks Gondolen bar and restaurant remains one of Stockholm’s best places to sip, sup and swoon. For a free ride to the top, take the lift inside the adjacent Konsum/Coop building and walk across the elevated bridge.
