The municipality, in figures

The municipality

Lidingö is a medium-sized municipality measuring 11 by 8 kilometres, spread over 7 separate pieces. With 48.324 inhabitants it is densely populated (1.508 per square kilometre). It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. It borders 7 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

  • THE LANDOWNER CANNOT GRANT PERMISSION: the terrängkörningslagen binds the landowner too

Where the line lies between parking, sleeping and camping
camping · Sweden
Camping is forbidden outside a campsite or designated zone. What changes from one country to another is which gesture crosses the line:
  • draws the line EARLIER than almost anyone: at the WHEEL
  • forbidden «oavsett om du vill övernatta eller bara parkera» — regardless of whether the intention is to sleep overnight or just to park
  • the roof tent is EXPRESSLY named as not covered, because it is mounted on a vehicle

«oavsett om du vill övernatta eller bara parkera»
On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.
