Ängsö National Park: the Meadow Island

by sim1

Ängsö is a little gem of an island, hidden away in the beautiful Stockholm archipelago. The way to get here is by ferry, either leaving from Stockholm or from some of the stops along the way. We decided to hop on board in Vaxholm. The sea looks so blue; the sun is shining brightly and glistering in the water. The boat moves with a rather high speed, zigzagging around the many islands that the archipelago consists of. The wind is blowing through my hair, sunglasses on, and I am totally enjoying the views, the sunshine and the fresh sea breeze. After 1 1/2 hours on the boat we finally are there: Ängsö! The island is small, only 73 hectares, but so worth visiting. Quite a few people get off the ferry, but some stay on, to continue their way to another destination in the archipelago. A slight feeling of disappointment comes over me, I almost feel like panicking, realizing that the peace...

Stockholm: The Vasa Museum

by sim1

Stockholm has so much to offer that I want to mention a few of its highlights on this page. I have to mention the most famous of the museums in Stockholm: The Vasa Museum. It is a real must see! And it is no wonder that it is Scandinavia's most visited museum.In the museum you can see the large warship Vasa. It is the only remaining and intact 17th century ship in the world. The wreck was salvaged in 1961 and now on display In the Vasa Museum. The ship is really impressive and you are able to walk around the ship so you can get a real good look at it. The lower rig has been rebuilt, complete with masts, stays and shrouds, making it a complete ship again. Surrounding the ship are several permanent exhibitions, cinemas, a shop and a restaurant.opening hours: (2008)Jun - Aug: daily 8:30 to 18:00Sep - May: 10:00 - 17:00; Wednesdays 10:00 to 20:00Closed: December 23-25, December 31, January...

Stockholm Archipelago with 24,000 islands

by sim1

The Stockholm Archipelago is a unique place and one to fall in love with. It consists of 24000 islands, inlets and skerries. Little dots of land and rock surrounded by clear blue water. The Archipelago is quite popular among the Swedes and for a good reason. But having said that, it still isn't overcrowded. About 150 of the islands are inhabited all your round, a tiny percentage if you look at the total amount of islands around. I think the best news is that the Archipelago is easy to visit, with ferries connecting a lot of the islands, some of them offering hostels, hotels and even campgrounds and all in easy reach from Stockholm! I've visited only one island so far of the Archipelago, called Ängsö, and I absolutely loved it. A next visit will probably be a island-hopping, bicycle vacation. A combination of taking the ferry from one island to another, bicycling around on the islands and...

Tyresta National Park, nature at the city

by sim1

Tyresta National Park is a beautiful place, with lots of beautiful nature. It is one of the 28 National Parks in Sweden. Its location is rather exceptional; only 20 kilometres of Stockholm! The proximity to a big city like Stockholm has it clear advantages and disadvantages and makes it unique at the same time. It is amazing to have this 'green beauty' at the outskirts of a city. But it can be (too) busy here with people as it is so easy to reach. But being easy to reach might just be THE reason for you to visit it! In my opinion this is not one of the best national parks in Sweden. I've been to Tiveden and Fulufjället National Park and both those parks totally knocked me off my feet, they are so amazingly beautiful. Tyresta is undoubtedly a beautiful place, but for me just missed this little bit extra to make it exceptional.But would I go here again? Oh yes! It's a beautiful place in...

Stockholm, museum city!

by sim1

Stockholm is a place for museum lovers! Did you know that Stockholm has one of the worlds greatest concentration of galleries and museums? Museum ranging from om the grandest national museums to the smallest private institutions. There is something for everyone here! I only managed to visit a few so far, but there are quite a few left on my to do list. On my Stockholm page (local custom tips) you can get a good overview of all the museums in and around the city. Visit till example the National Musuem of Fine Arts, discover Stockholm history in the Medeltidsmuseum, walk around in the Open Air Museum 'Skansen' or visit one of the beautiful castles like Drottningholm. See the wonderful sculptures by Milles at Millesgården, or visit the famous Vasa museum. Stockholm: a real museum city! Do take a look at my Stockholm page for lots more info about the Stockholm musea.

Stockholm: Stadshuset

by sim1

A place not to miss on a visit to Stockholm is the Stadshuset (The City Hall). Stockholm's City Hall was built between 1911-1923 and was designed by architect Ragnar Östberg. It is one of Sweden's foremost buildings in the National Romantic style. I think most of you might recognize the building as it is often used as a symbol for the city of Stockholm. Maybe the outside is characteristic and beautiful to see, but the inside is simply amazing. In the picture you can see the Golden Hall. This room will without a doubt trigger lots of ooooh's and aaah's! It is an amazing room to enter into, the gold glitters everywhere, and your eyes need some time to get used to this luscious display of gold and decorations.The glow of the room is warm because of the golden colour and the nice soft lighting. And the design is nothing I have seen before, with mosaics covering all sides of the room, not a...

Stockholm: The Storkyrkan

by sim1

The next stop on my virtual tour through Stockholm is the Storkyrkan in the Gamla Stan (old town). The Storkyrkan, or Nicolai kyrka, is located between the palace and the Stock Exchange. It is a beautiful Cathedral, but probably overlooked quite a few times as the exterior isn't that grand. And that is a real pity as the interior of the cathedral is stunning! It has many unique artefacts, and an absolute must see on your visit to Stockholm. I've written much more about this beautiful cathedral on my Stockholm page
