Biskopsuddens Marina is located where the lush green Djurg\u00e5rden meets the Stockholm outlet. The marina has a solid history that leads back to the early 20th century when the Royal Swedish Yacht Club had its port here on Biskopsudden. Today Biskopsudden is a mecca for boating, food and culture. Characterized by its history.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
