Saturday was a postcard perfect day. And I have to say, we picked a picture postcard spot to relax in the sun at: Josefina.  Located on Djurgården and with a view of the water, Josefina has loungey couches and chairs that are so comfy that you want to hang out for hours. Plus, there are special VIP lounge areas that you can reserve.

On a sunny day, this place is almost always packed with trendy Stockholmers and it’s definitely a place where locals and tourists alike can be found. A DJ plays a variety of music, even in the afternoon, and the setting becomes more club like later in the evening. At Josefina, a glass of wine ranges from 94 to 150 SEK – that’s  $14.78-23.58 US dollars. (Don’t I keep telling you that this town is pricey?) There’s a full lunch and dinner menu with everything from steak and lamb to salmon. It’s tasty, but also not cheap. See Josefina for more details.

Fake palm trees seem to be a popular decorating option for Stockholm's outdoor spots.

Heat lamps are often necessary in the Baltic summer. Unfortunately.

It looks lovely – I do like the way the swedish make the most of every chance to be outside. There’s a bit of a backlash here re patio heaters, sending all that heat out just to warm up the atmosphere, but I have a sneaky liking for them.

Jane, The Swedes do take every advantage of being outside and now I do too! That’s interesting about the heat lamps, but it makes sense.
