Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and its largest city. It houses the national parliament, the royal palace and the residence of the Swedish monarch. The population of Stockholm is more than 20% of the Swedish population. The city is situated on the east coast of the country by the side of lake Mälaren which connects to the Baltic Sea. The area of the city consists of. Its location is one of the reasons that makes it attractive to tourists. The city is also known as "The Venice of the North". |
| The Boat hostel that I stayed in |
|  | Stockholm has a large cultural life and has plenty of national cultural institutions and numerous museums. There are two UNESCO World Heritage sites in the city, unfortunately none of which I have seen, the Royal Palace Drottningholm (residential palace of the Swedish King) and the Skogskyrkogården (The Woodland Cemetery). In 1998, Stockholm was named as the European City of Culture.
I had a very nice time in Stockholm, my stay at the red Boat hostel made the trip more attractive. It was a unique experience. |
| With the Royal Palace guards |
| | Like most of my trips, I had made a solo trip to Stockholm and enjoyed every bit of it. I ensured that I walked a lot to see the most of the city and met many people from many parts of the world. Especially I met a middle aged mexican guy from the USA travelling there alone and very confused as to what to see. Had a nice time moving around with the simpleton and got to know also a lot about his country.
In my tips, I have tried to present the best picture of the city so far as possible and give the correct information to my readers. |
