Söder Mälarstrands doppbrygga

Stockholm



Bring swimwear even in cooler months; this spot is open for swimming year-round.

Söder Mälarstrands doppbrygga offers a unique urban swimming experience in Stockholm, located at an idyllic spot along the Söder Mälarstrand. This smaller dock provides an opportunity for a quick dip throughout the year, attracting both locals and visitors looking to enjoy the city's waterside charm. Situated below Münich Brewery and neighboring a platform balcony, the bathing facility is a municipally-operated location with a wooden dock structure featuring an opening in the middle.

Designed with safety in mind, the dock incorporates a submerged basket with a net at the bottom, 1.6 meters deep, ensuring protection from currents and boat traffic. Swimming is only allowed within the designated area of the dock, and not from the other piers in the vicinity. As part of Stockholm city's initiative to increase public bathing opportunities, the dock serves as a convenient, central spot for casual swimmers who appreciate a tranquil, yet urban, water experience.

Though the dock is a mobile structure and monitoring is not as rigorous as at official beaches, it remains a favored choice for those seeking to escape the urban bustle momentarily. The surrounding area is well-connected, with Mariatorget and Slussen metro stations within walking distance and fee-based parking options nearby. Visitors are encouraged to observe communal guidelines, ensuring a pleasant and safe visit for all, including appropriate parking to maintain emergency service access.
