this previously lovely small town has been gentrified out of its unique charm. Simply a long street of upscale tourist shops that one can find anyway in the world. read more

Well, besides the fact that we didn't take proper measures to get internet during our stay since we relied on our cousins to do that, all I did was check-in to areas with my spotty internet and didn't think of checking in to the actual town. Well, here I am, five months later with a few shots from some of the most beautiful views I captured during my visit to Stockholm. Monteliusvägen is a gorgeous walking area about a quarter-mile long that shows gorgeous views of historic buildings, the glistening water and gorgeous homes and businesses surrounding the area. We arrived to the country at a good time during the summer, although they are known to have sudden changes in the weather in the middle of the day where it'll begin raining with thunderstorms out of nowhere. This day in particular served us well. One of the pictures was taken from the water because my lovely uncle and cousins gave us a tour around the city with their boat. It was a magical experience and I could not stop taking photos. If you visit Sweden and want to avoid the cold, visit during July (when they celebrate Midsommar) or August...just bring an umbrella.

This was a very nice panoramic vista of Stockholm and easy to access! We parked just down the…read morestreet and walked up the road until we reached the rocky hill, then it was time to off road a bit until you end up on top of the hill and get rewarded with the view of the city and the water. This is the highest natural point in central Stockholm. From here enjoy the Saltsjon and the Gamla Stan side of Stockholm. You can even see the iconic steeple of Riddarholmskyrkan in the distance. There's plenty of space to sit and relax, even bring a picnic, or just take lots of photos. Just down the street there's cafes and a little playground for the kids to get their energy out before piling everyone back in the car. Definitely a nice little stop.
This is a great viewpoint of Stockholm and definitely a hidden gem…read more It's a short little walk up a gravel road and then a few rocks, probably only a quarter of a mile. It's walkable from the subway as well. Once you get to the top, there's a great view looking back to the main island of Stockholm and Gamla Stan. There are also some good views of houses of Södermalm. You won't find this on many lists of things you should do in Stockholm and it's a little off the beaten path, but it's definitely worth seeing. I highly recommend stopping here while in Stockholm.

The park is extremely lush, green, and expansive with many experiences to choose from, whether you are looking to take a long stroll, stretch out on a blanket, eat a good meal with a scenic view, or learn about Swedish history at Skansen. I highly recommend having coffee or lunch at Rosendals Trädgård - a locally operated farm and dining destination centrally located in the park. There is even an option to take your meal and enjoy it in the beautiful apple orchard.

Different times of year will find him dressed in appropriate clothing for current events or the weather. Knitted scarves are popular as are sunglasses. The statue dates back to 1967 by artist Liss Eriksson and it was originally titled, "The Boy Who Looks at the Moon." Rubbing his head bestows good luck as does leaving a small gift. It's a quick stop. [Review 18699 overall - 34 in Sweden - 2222 of 2022.]

Sigtuna was founded in AD 980 by Erik the Victorious, making it Sweden's oldest town. It's famous…read morefor its remarkably well-preserved main street - 'Stora Gatan' - which still runs along its original route, its church ruins, and for having more runestones than anywhere else in Sweden, and the rest of the world. So we decided to spend our last morning in Sweden in Sigtuna (since it's only a 15 minute or so drive to Stockholm airport from Sigtuna). A walk past several of the church ruins was definitely on my to do list while we were in town. We started at St. Olof's and then walked over to St. Lars. Like St. Olof's, St. Lars' was built in the early 12th century, but St. Lars has been the least preserved/restored of the three church ruins we visited. But that's what made visiting Sigtuna special - you can see ruins in various stages of ... ruination? Preservation? There are reasons to preserve, restore, and leave alone. And St. Lars being the least preserved/restored gives such an impression of age. It's impossible to forget you're standing at a site that was built in the 12th century when you see what's left of St. Lars. Don't miss it on your walk to the church ruins of Sigtuna. There might not be as much to see, but that's actually why it's worth a stop.
Sigtuna is famous for a few things (being arguably the oldest town in Sweden, having more…read morerunestones than anywhere else in the world, its church ruins), but one reason is certainly Stora Gatan, its remarkably well-preserved main street (which still runs down its original route). It couldn't be more charming. The storefronts are colorful and cute, and if you're in Sigtuna, you just have to take a stroll down this beautiful pedestrian street. Stop for an ice cream or lunch or shop at any of its boutique stores and bakeries...! There's a lot to do and see on Stora Gatan, and it's honestly as cute as button.
