Stockholm
Stockholm is a
very pretty city - often referred to as the Venice of the North. It was built on
a number of islands and the Old Part of Town lies on one of these islands.
Moller's hotel
is an excellent location. You can easily walk around the old part and then
conveniently walk up to Söder (The South), which has become a new "in" part
of town. Besides many restaurants and pubs and little shops you'll find
quaint walking trails with beautiful views over the city. From The Old
Town you can also take the ferry over to
Djurgården,
a very large park area, which once upon a time served as the king´s hunting
grounds. Nowadays it holds
Skansen
open air museum,
which is very worthwhile to visit for a few hours. You can read up on it on
the internet. Djurgården also has several small cafes and restaurants, boat
harbours and many fine museums.
Another favourite part of Stockholm is
Östermalm.
It is fun to walk around in the area and visit the old food-hall (Östermalmshallen).
Anki always stops there at the Lisa Almquist restaurant for a nice fish
luncheon. From Östermalm you should walk down to
Stureplan
- the area where the young and beautiful are said to hang out at night (how
should I know?), and where you also can find a quite nice shopping mall. The
best department store, NK, you will find a little up the road towards The
Old Town.
Another pretty island not far from The Old Town is
Skeppsholmen. You can walk there past the Grand Hotell, the National
Gallery and the Modern Museum. It could also be interesting to tour City Hall
where the Nobel Prize winner's gala dinner is held in December every year. It
offers a great view over Stockholm from its tower. If you have time - a boat
tour in the archipelago is always a treat! I could go on and on but for a
two-day visit I think I'll stop here and wish you a wonderful time in Stockholm
- Anki Tegg's home town :)
