[SWEDEN] Stockholm Travel Recommendation


stockholm 1
Stockholm, capital of Sweden, is on a series of islands on the edge of the Baltic Sea. The charming old town, Gamla Stan, is where the Royal Palace stands today. Today Sweden still has a royal family but one without any political power. Besides the several royal palaces, including the UNESCO World Heritage listed Drottningholm Palace, Stockholm is famous for Vasa Museum which houses the world’s only preserved 17th century ship.

[SWEDEN] Stockholm Metro

Stockholm metro system is said to be the world's longest art exhibit, stretching 110km long. It is also very affordable. For the price of a Stockholm Metro ticket, you get to see sculptures, mosaics, paintings, art installations, inscriptions and reliefs at most metro stations (over 90 of the 100 stations).

[SWEDEN] Evening in Stockholm


stockholm (2)
Stockholm is a lively city and there’s plenty to do in the evening. This is how I spent the evening in Stockholm. First, I had dinner at Meatballs for the People. After dinner, I went to the view point at Fjallgatan and walked about the city. Then my beau went to the popular Icebar before calling it a night.


[SWEDEN] Stockholm - Vasa Museum


20170904_103933
Vasa Museum houses an ancient ship, Vasa. After 333 years lying at the bottom of Stockholm bay before it was salvaged, Vasa is now the world’s only preserved 17th century ship and the museum is the most visited museum in Scandavania.  It is one of the highlight of my trip to Stockholm.
