Fåfängan, Scenic viewpoint in Södermalm, Sweden
Located at the eastern point of Södermalm, Fåfängan sits atop a rocky mountain marked by symmetrical rows of trees overlooking Stockholm.
The site originated in the early nineteenth century as a parade ground before transforming into a public observation point above the Swedish capital.
The hilltop location functions as a social gathering space where residents meet for outdoor activities, picnics, and seasonal community events.
Visitors can reach Fåfängan through multiple public transportation options, including nearby bus stops and metro stations throughout the day.
The seasonal café opens when flags rise, while the surrounding park area provides walking trails and green spaces for outdoor recreation.
