Södermalm is connected to its surrounding areas by a number of bridges. It connects to Gamla Stan (Old Town) to the north by Slussen, a grid of road and rail and a lock that separates the lake Mälaren from the Baltic Sea, to Långholmen and Kungsholmen to the northwest by one of the city's larger bridges, Västerbron, to the islet of to Reimersholme to the west, to Liljeholmen to the southwest, to Årsta and Johanneshov to the south, and, finally, to Nacka to the east by Danvikstull Bridge.

Administratively, Södermalm is divided into two bouroughs, Maria-Gamla Stan in the west and Katarina-Sofia in the east. The former also includes Gamla Stan, the latter Hammarby Sjöstad.
