Stockholm Recommendations; what to visit, see, and do. 2/3

4. Getting ice cream on Fjällgatan Fjällgatan is located on Stockholm’s southern isle high above the water and offers the best view of the city. You can see the different islands and the water. It also has AMAZING ice cream. Ignore the café in glas and go for the small yellow house on the corner for some stunning hazelnut ice cream that tastes like nutella.

5. Vasa museum This is the most visited museum in Scandinavia and holds the worlds only perserved 17th century ship that was fished out of the water just outside of Stockholm after having been at the bottom for over 300 years. Loads of history and a very beautiful ship.

6. Drottningholm palace 30-40 minutes outside of the city centre you can find the home of the royal family. And while the official castle in the old town is interesting it is ostly offices and museums but drottningholm is where the king and queen lives. It is a place of beauty. Located by the water the castle has a massive garden, a few shops, a café, and a second smaller castle called Kina. 

7. Stadsbiblioteket This is Stockholm public library and should be of interest for those interested in cool and beautiful architecture. The main hall is completely round, with books decorating the walls. Maybe you won’t want to read during your vacation but walking up to the highest bookshelves in the dome will make you feel very cultured. It is also nicely located between the metro stations Odenplan and Rådmansgatan.

Day 3 in Stockholm

A huge ship and numerous animals!

The Vasa museet was long yet impressive, and also very complete and cool. But it was not that interesting, at least to me, because I didn't know a thing about the ship before I entered the museum. And I understand really small amount of vocabulary in Swedish so I didn't understand the film about how the ship wrecked. Anyway I loved the vessel in itself.

Skansen was the best part of the day, and it's my favorite place so far. It's a zoo and there are some houses/farms from different periods of time (1800s,1940s). There are monkeys, lemurs, fish and so on.

It was my first time seeing a moose, reindeers and wolverines. They are so cute. We could even pet baby reindeers and they were very soft.

I also petted a snake and a sheep. Unfortunately the otters' enclosure was closed and the seals' enclosure was being cleaned. But globally I had a very good time. We almost spent the entire afternoon there. The park is huge and very interesting.

(There are only 2 photos because the rest is on my camera)

This ship impressed me. Very old fashioned vessel.
