Eco-Friendly Guide to Paris, London and Stockholm

Three royal palaces—including Haga Palace, where the current monarch, King Carl XVI Gustaf, was born— can be found in the national Ekoparken ****, a sprawling, 6,700-acre conservation tract (complete with roe deer, owls, and pine martens) right in the center of the city. The UNESCO World Heritage site Skogskyrkogården ***, or Woodland Cemetery, is one of Stockholm’s most surprising architectural landmarks. Its rolling pine-forest landscape holds memorials designed by two of Sweden’s most important Modernists, Sigurd Lewerentz and Gunnar Asplund, best known for designing the Stockholm Public Library.
