Sweden Stockholm Travel Tips!

About Stockholm, Sweden.

Stockholm, which I know, is the capital of Sweden, the country of IKEA, a world-class furniture brand. It is also a country that gives Nobel Prizes that people all over the world know.
It is the largest country in Northern Europe, and is a descendant of the Viking.
Many people say it is the most sophisticated city in Northern Europe.
This city has a good tourist system because it is a city that many people comes on a trip. You can see not only the old city of Gamla stan, but also the city that is still developing.

How to travel in Stockholm?

As I said before, Stockholm has a good tourism system.
There are so many ships operating between the seas surrounding the city and the land.
Especially, using a tourist pass, you can use these ships for free, so you can travel cheaply.
I used Hop on hop off to travel. I didn't prepare a lot for the trip, so I was thinking about how to travel. There were a lot of people on the street selling tickets for Hop on Hop off, and I bought them right away.
Buying this ticket also gives guide books, so there was no need to plan a trip. And there were many museums where you could enter free of charge with the ticket.

Of course, before using this ticket, you should look in the guidebook and see which route to go to. This city is bigger than you think, so it's impossible to look around in a day.
In my personal opinion, first of all, look around the areas you really want to visit, except that you can walk around without a ticket.
And take advantage of all the transportation available with your ticket, especially if you take a ferry, you can save a lot of time.

Where to see in Stockholm?

Where should you stop in Stockholm? Of course, personal tastes are also important, so it is not easy to recommend.
So, I will recommend only three places that many people visit.

Gamla stan

Gamla Stan, as mentioned earlier, is an old town.
It is one of the many places to see in Stockholm. It is a place that many tourists visit because there are many places to eat and see the shops between the alleys.
Personally, it would be nice to schedule a day or so here.

First of all, Stockholm Palace is a must-see course. Especially, there's a guard's shift at noon every day, so don't miss it.
In addition, visit the cathedral, the Nobel Museum, and sit in the Stortoriet called the central square of the area and feel the emotion of the city.

Stockholms stadshus

The city hall in Stockholm is one of the most visited destinations for tourists in this city, with no particular tourist attractions to offer except for Gamla Stan.
Many people visit this place because they can see the whole view of the city at a glance from the tower observatory located in City Hall.
Travelers can see the inside of the building only with a guide, and look around the office, reception room, etc.
There are also many couples who get married in the building.
Aside from the tower's observatory or tour inside the building, it is a good place to go just by walking around and feeling the cool sea breeze.

 Vasa Museum

There are many museums in this city, but it was personally the place I would most like to recommend.

For your information, open times vary by season, so make sure to check and go.
Vasa is the name of a warship in the 17th century. Like the Titanic, it sank on its first voyage, and is the only ship that remains itself shape among the ships used in the 17th century.

A ship of enormous size located inside a building surprises people who enter it.

There are frequent guided tours in various languages, so be sure to participate.

As I said before, use hop on hop off if you travel to Stockholm.
