Question : Traveling to Stockholm, Sweden?
I'm going to Stockholm, Sweden in March and I was wondering if anybody could give me some advice. What kind of food should I eat and where should I visit? What kind of things should I bring home for my family and friends? Do they have any good wine?

Answer #1
I spent 2 days there in august last year, its a really beautiful city and you'll have a great time. You can get just about any type of food there, but if you can find it, and fancy it, i had some really really nice reindeer meat in Sweden, its really tender.As for things to see, the royal palace is worth a look, a wander around Gamla Stan (old town) and lunch in a cafe is a a great way to spend an afternoon, and the Vasa museum is amazing!!!Not sure about wine, but its a modern city so you should be able to get just about anything you like!

Places to visit:Vasamuseet (Vasa Museum); it´s impressive. You have to take the ferry to go there. Once you have seen it, go outside and have a look to a couple of ships which are tied up there. One of them is red and it´s a ship-lighthouse and the other, black, is an icebreaker. In the same island (Djurgarden) where Vasa museum is located you can visit a Biological Museum which is very beautiful in the outside, although is not worthy a visit in the inside. But you MUST go to Skansen!!! it´s a huge museum in the open: they show how people lived and worked there many years ago; there´s like a village where there´s a bakery and the smell is delicious!! Then you enter and see some people making bread and rolls dressed like people used to dress in the old times (try something, everything is delicious). There´s a zoo with reindeer, walrus, bears..... And the paths are just wonderful.More places to go:Gamla Stan. It´s one of the districts of the city; this one is the medieval part. There you can visit Kungliga Slottet (The Royal Palace): very beautiful and magnificent. The change of the guard is very attractive although it lasted too long. In Gamla Stan I also liked Tyska Kirkan (a Church); very nice, but the streets are the best; very narrow and going up or down or with a lot of steps. One of them is Vasterlanggatan, which is a comercial street. Lots of shops!!Also in Gamla Stan: Birger Jaks Torn ( a beautiful tower) and Riddarholmskyrkan ( a church; visit it!! beautiful and the tombs of all the Swedish monachs from the XVII century to today).The Parliament building is really beautiful too. Well, I liked everything in Gamla Stan!!In the centre, I liked Roseband, the building where the government is located; Klara Kyrka (Claire Church, just beautiful!!); Hotorget, the old market; it´s beautiful in itself, but there´s also Konserhuset, the building where Nobel prizes are given. Go inside, it´s very nice (and enter the restrooms!! (so nice!).I looked for, and found, the exact place where Olof Palme, the Prime Minister, was shot; it´s in the corner of Sveavagen and Tunnelgatan; there´s a placard on the ground.Armemuseum: Museums of the Arms; very nice too.In Malmarna (another district): Historiska Museum (Museum of Antiquities).In Sodermalm: Slussen (ferries to Vasa Museum leave from here). Soder Hill in Fjallgatan: 300 year old houses; just beautiful!! Walk around. And Mariaberget!!You may find this site interesting to know more:
