Discovering Stockholm (J. en)

The Cathedral of Stockholm

Duration: Half an hourLocation: Gamla Stan Stockholm Cathedral is also the Church of St. Nicholas. That's good advice, because I was totally lost the first few days to know where was one to the other. In Swedish it is called Sankt Nikolai Storkyrkan or Kirk (The Great...

The Royal Palace

Location: Gamla Stan Duration: 2 hours The Royal Palace of Stockholm is one of the greatest gems of the city. It really is not the official residence of kings but it is the venue of official events. The foreign visit lasts about half an hour. Then you can visit...

The harbor of Stockholm

Location: Gamla StanDuration: Half an hourThe best option is to take a walk. A bay that starts at the royal palace and ending the gondolen. It's a very nice boulevard where you can feel the breeze purely Baltic Sea in all its glory.

Time to eat!

Are you hungry? Im sure that yes because with all these informations... I can recommend you a pizzeria in Slussen where i always go with my friends. It is tradicional and you can find very near Gondolen. it is a small place but delicious. Enjoy your meal.

Relaxing...

Slussen also is a square where you can sitting down and relax, without thinking in preocupations... Near the main street we can find a kind of park for your children, for you or maybe also to practice Skating.

The main street of Slussen

This is the main street of Slussen. As you can see, there are some people walking, riding a bike... this street is the most important and is full of bars, restaurants and cafeterias... a very good place to enjoy and relax.

Market flowers in Slussen

Even dogs are preppy in Slussen

As we can see in this picture, a dog is walking with her owner. Obviously is Slussen square. This picture could had taken in other cities like Barcelona or Milan. I mean that Slussen is a different square in the whole Stockholm, maybe more poosh.

The wall of the fame in Stockholm

It is a strange costume my friends and me have. We have identification sticks that represent our village. When we travel, we bring them with us and we put them in famous places in different cities. Here was in Stockholm, of course, in Gondolen.

Most beautiful Gondolen: Christmas time

Christmas time is one of the best moment to visit Gondolen and to see the city full of snow. I remember that day with -14 degrees in the up of Gondolen. It was so difficult even to take pictures but it was worth it to see Stockholm in that way. What do you think?

From the Gondolen

Another curiosity is that the gondolen is one of the highest sightseeing points in the city of Stockholm. From there you can see one of the best views of the harbor, nearby islands and especially Gamla Stan.

Gondolen

Duration: 30 minutes Location: Slussen It is very close to Slussen station. It is a steel bridge known as Gondolen. The strange thing is that we can find a thermometer in the upper part which temperature governing the city.

Compulsory picture for my visits

This is my last visitors but i have many pictures here with all my visitors. For me, a picture with Järnpojken is comulsory. It means that you will go again to Stockholm.

Järnpojken with fruits

People usually put some coins near Järnpojken and in this moment you can see an apple. Maybe somebody thinks that it means good luck. Each time i visit Járnpojken im most surprised because people made some clothes to him. Surprising but nice sculpture.

Järnpojken

In this picture you can see Järnpojken without hat and you can realize about the detail i told you before. His head is shining because people put their hand over it in order to come back to Stockholm.

Järnpojken

As you can see in this picture the sculpture is really small. The picture was taken in Christmas time and he wears a snow hat and a scarf. It is very, very nice, isn´t it?

What is it?

I will talk about my avatar. The smallest sculpture in Stockholm and surely one of the smallest in Europe. I have to confess that it is certainly my favorite place in the city. Descending from Gamla Stan to the Baltic Sea and a small and narrow alleys near the Royal...

St. George and the Dragon

The sculpture that I show is a replica of that found in the interior of the Cathedral of Stockholm. As you may have guessed is the battle of St. George and the Dragon. Originates from the year 1489 and is one of the required tourist stops in Stockholm.

Street of Gamla Stan

And this is a vision closer to the pavement. Is one of the nicest streets of Gamla Stan. This is another of thesmall streets of Gamla Stan where we can appreciate its rustic and pavement.
