Swedish fact of the day:
Kungsträdgården (literally King's garden) is one of Stockholm's oldest parks. Before it became a popular hangout, it was a private park reserved for the royal court. The park has even been the ground for the Battle of the Elms, where activists of a tree-huggers campaign chained themselves to the old elms situated in the park to prevent them from being cut down for the building of a new metro station. In the end, the tree-huggers won the battle.
