Places to visit Stockholm

Places to See:
- Stockholm's Old Town (Gamla Stan) is the beautifully preserved historical heart of Stockholm. The Gamla Stan station is on the west side of the compact quarter, which is best covered on foot. Riddarholmskyrkan is a beautifully preserved medieval church.
- The Stockholm archipelago (skärgården) is one of the world’s most spectacular. Stretching 80 kilometres east of the city, the archipelago comprises 24 000 islands, islets and rocks. Explore islands with restaurants, youth hostels and country stores, or entirely deserted islands - no matter what, the experience will be entirely unique. If you visit Stockholm in the summertime, make sure you take a boat trip to see the archipelago. You can find several boat excursions to the archipelago. Most of them are operated by Waxholmsbolaget and depart from Strömkajen, opposite the Royal Palace. During the summer you can also use Strömma Kanalbolaget with faster and more modern ships, departing from Nybrokajen (by Strandvägen). Strömma Kanalbolaget offers a day cruise (11 hours, SEK 775 including lunch, dinner and guided tours) as well as a shorter, 2.5 hour boat excursion (SEK 190), both departing from Nybrokajen.
- The Royal Palace built between 1697 and 1754 and located on the east side of the Old Town, is open to the public. The Royal Apartments, the Tre Kronor Museum, the Treasury, and Gustav III's Museum of Antiquities cost 70 SEK each, with the sumptuous Apartments being the main draw; if royal regalia is your thing, you'll probably want to pay 110 SEK for a combination ticket and visit the Treasury as well. Open 10-4 daily in the summer, 12-4 and closed Mondays in the winter.
- The Stockholm Public Library was built in 1928. The interior of the cupola-shaped building is spectacular, with three floors of bookshelves covering 360 degrees of circular wall, capped by a high dome. Books are available in many different languages, including English and German. On the cliff overlooking it is the old Observatory, which has a fine view of the city to the east. There is also a small cafe.
- The Stockholm City Hall, where the Nobel Prize Banquet takes place every year, is an imposing brick building in the city centre. Guided tours are held daily, and allow you to see the impressive halls used for the Nobel festivities, the Blue Hall and the Golden Hall. (Hantverkargatan 1, Tunnelbana T-Centralen or Rådhuset, buses 3 and 62).

about Stockholm

Stockholm the capital of Sweden is situated in the south central part of the country on the border between the provinces Uppland and Södermanland (also known as Sörmland), on the east coast, between lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea.

The municipality of Stockholm has approximately 765 000 inhabitants (2004), the greater metro area 1.9 million (2004).

Stockholm is not the oldest town in Sweden but after its establishment in the 1250s it rapidly became a national centre, having a very strategic location between a major lake (Mälaren) and the Baltic Sea.

Stockholm is a mix of old and new. Particularly between 1955 and 1975, hundreds of older buildings were demolished during a great modernization process, encouraged by similar projects in London and other cities damaged during the Second World War. Sweden's beautiful capital has a very picturesque setting that makes the city unique.

Things to Do:
- Walk around, have a drink at Gondolen with an excellent view of the old town. Stockholm is a very easy city to enjoy by foot with no steep streets. Particularly in the summer months (which can be a very short time), the city shows itself at its best.

- Go swimming. You are never far from water in Stockholm. The area of Långholmen has many nice spots for swimming.
- Stay informed. You can find internet cafés and terminals at many locations with prices between 15 and 20 SEK for an hour.

- Watch a movie. There are many Cinemas in Stockholm. Most movies aren't dubbed but subtitled, so if your English is good enough this is a good way to pass some time. Go nightclubbing and enjoy the fun of Swedish pop music.

Places to Buy:
- Famous for glassware and design, "Gamla Stan" the old town, is a very popular shopping area. Västerlånggatan is where you find all the touristy shops, but also some nicer establishments. If you don't like this crowded street try Österlånggatan instead for a calmer experience. There are many department stores like Åhléns City, PUB and NK (Nordiska Kompaniet) in the city center as well as a couple of shopping malls: the biggest is Gallerian, the most expensive is Sturegallerian and the newest is Västermalmsgallerian at Kungsholmen. For a set of nice fashion shops Biblioteksgatan is worth a visit.

- Science Fiction Bokhandeln is a bookshop at Västerlånggatan 48 in Gamla Stan selling science fiction, fantasy, horror, role-playing games, some popular science; a lot of it is in English.
