Mölna, Lidingö — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Mölna?

Mölna keeps no major monument of its own. Its draw is the south-eastern waterfront of Lidingö, the wooded slopes and the quiet streets that run down toward the channel facing Stockholm. The water is the feature.

For built attractions, the AGA:s optiktorn in neighbouring Skärsätra and the wider Lidingö shore lie a short way along the island.

What is the history of Mölna?

Mölna took shape as Lidingö grew from farmland into a city of villa plots and garden streets through the last century. The south-eastern shore drew families who wanted the water within reach, and the district settled into the residential grain it shares with Skärsätra and Kottla nearby. The slope set the layout.

Streets stepped down toward the channel that divides the island from Stockholm.

Where is Mölna?

It faces the water. Mölna lies in south-eastern Lidingö in eastern Sweden, sloping toward the channel that separates the island from Stockholm, with the districts of Skärsätra and Käppala along the same shore.
