| Stockholm Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Windmill in Skansen, the open air museum Windmill in Skansen, the open air museum Marina Y. Many travellers visit Stockholm, the Swedish capital, because of its natural beauty. Called the "Venice of the North", the city is situated on 14 islands. Its water is so pure you can both swim and fish right in the heart of town as well as partake of boat tours offering such treats as live music and shrimp buffets. Stockholm has an abundance of parks and fascinating museums, a rich cultural life and many excellent restaurants. Stockholm was founded in the 13th century and now has some 1.6 million inhabitants, including the metropolitan area. In Gamla Stan, or the Old Town, most buildings date from the 16th to the 19th centuries and house a variety of cafés, restaurants, museums, hotels and shops, in addition to the Royal Palace (pictured here). A lot of people visit the Vasa Museum - housing the 17th-century Royal warship Vasa, which sank 1628 and was salvaged in 1961. Also worth a visit is nearby Skansen, the world´s oldest and largest open-air folk museum complete with its own zoo displaying animals found in Sweden . Adjacent to Skansen is the Gröna Lund amusement park. Millesgården, home of sculptor Carl Milles (1875-1955) and Waldemarsudde, home of Prince Eugen (1865-1947) - the "Painter Prince" - are other nearby attractions. Stockholm is built on many islands and thus there are canals and boats everywhere. We were extremely happy to find a place that rented canoes (a North American Indian invention) and spent an hour paddling along the canals of Stockholm. ________-Sights Edit This The Vasa ship The Vasa ship Joseph Hollick Stockholm is a cornucopia of history, art and ambiance. The heart of the old town, better known as Gamla Stan, offers a trip down history lane. Not only because of its Royal palace, its cathedral and historical buildings, but also because it still looks a lot like in the old days: small alleys with little handicraft shops and the possibility of taking a trip on the water. The preservation of nature has always been important to Stockholm and its residents, so there are plenty of parks and botanical gardens to explore. Stockholm is a must for royalty (or palace) lovers as well. There are several palaces in Stockholm itself (most of them are turned into museums nowadays) and otherwise, it won’t be a long way to visit one of the many places in the nearby surroundings. All national goverment owned Museums except the Vasa Museum have no entrance fee.

It is one of Sweden's foremost buildings in the National Romantic style. Behind the imposing facades, built with 8 million bricks are found offices, meeting rooms and banquetting halls.

This museum was erected to house the Vasa, a ship built at the orders of Gustavus Adolphus in 1628 to be the largest and finest warship in the world, which was apparently unbalanced and sank on her maiden voyage. The story of the raising of the ship and the work to restore her to her original glory is depicted alongside the vessel and there are interesting displays on life at sea and other matters. However it is the ship itself which will hold your gaze - more.. type: Museums World66 rating: [rate it] address: Djurgårdsbrunnsvägen 24 tel: +46 (0)8 519 548 00 email: vasamuseet@smm.se openings: see website url: bokningen.vasa@smm.se zipcode: www.vasamuseet.se Skansen Edit This First open air museum in the world and zoological park. type: Parks & Gardens World66 rating: [rate it] address: Djurgården tel: +46 (0)8 442 82 80 House of Knights Edit This Former gathering place for knights from all over the area. type: Historical Sights World66 rating: [rate it] address: Old Town Ulriksdal Palace Edit This Palace built in the mid-17th century.

Phone calls: For international phone calls you add 00 and the international prefix. Most public phones only accept phonecards and credit/debit cards.

The international dialing to Sweden is +46 with the first 0 omitted. ________Getting Around Edit This City center City center vojsk The nicest way to explore the centre of Stockholm is to walk. It takes about 25 minutes to cross central Stockholm on foot. And above that walking is a good solution to orientate within Stockholm's initially confusing centre. For bigger distances you should use the means of the very comprehensive system of public transport. Stockholm's Lokaltrafik (SL) operates a large system of buses and trains (including underground) reaching well out of the city centre. In the SL-Center inside T-Centralen you can get timetables, informations and a useful transport map (35kr). Opening Hours: Mon - Fri 6am - 11.15pm, Sat and Sun 7am - 11.15pm). Quickest of the transport systems is the underground (T-bana or Tunnelbana), which is based on three main lines. Buses can be less direct due to the nature of Stockholm's islands and central pedestrianization. Ferries also link some of the central islands. If you travel more than only a few lines, you should buy a pass or a strip of twenty transferable SL Rabatt Kuponger (ticket coupons) or day-ticket for one or more days. Taxis can be hailed in the street or booked on Tel. 08 - 15 00 00 (then it costs 25kr extra to get you up). [Add Local transport mode] Bike Edit This Stockholm is a very bikefriendly town if you're reasonably fit. You can get almost anywhere in town on specially assigned bike paths. World66 rating: [rate it] _________Getting There Edit This A cruise ship & ferry in Stockholm harbor A cruise ship & ferry in Stockholm harbor Joseph Hollick By train: You will arrive at Central Station. All branches of the Tunnelbana, Stockholms underground system, meet at T-Centralen, the station directly below Central Station. Cityterminalen, nearby, handles all the bus services, both domestic and international, including the airport bus. By ship: The ferry terminals you will find in the northeast and southeast (Katarinavägen) of the inner city. Viking Line ferries arrive at Tegelvikshammen in Södermalm, a thirty minutes walk from the centre. It is connected by bus to Slussen and then by Tunnelbana to T-Centralen. Birka Cruises services dock in Södermalm, too, just up the quayside at Stadsgården. The Silja Terminal is in the northeastern reaches of the city, a short walk from Gärdet or Ropsten, from where you can take the Tunnelbana. You can't say you've really seen Sweden if you didn't experience a fabulous cruise on the legendary Göta Canal. This enormous waterway expands for miles and miles and goes across one major lake and at least ten smaller lakes. Steam ships defeat this 'Blue Ribbon of Sweden' in order to give the visitors a good view of the surroundings, comprised of meadows, old villages, castles and convents. It's a charming way to get from Stockholm to Goteberg (and the other way around of course). By airplane: Arlanda airport is 45 km north of Stockholm. Buses run every 15 min to Cityterminalen (journey time 40 min). There is also a direct rail link between Stockholm and Arlanda. It connects the airport with Central Station in just 20 minutes. Taxis take you down down for a fixed rate. The bus is the cheapest way to go down to the central station. Bromma airport is closer to the city centre. This is a smaller airport and the facilities are not as abundant as at Arlanda. The airport buses also run from this airport to the central station. Skavsta airport is situated approx 100 km south of Stockholm at the city of Nyköping. The airport buses will take you you the central station in 1 hour 20 minutes. _________Day Trips Edit This Archipelago near Stockholm Archipelago near Stockholm Joseph Hollick Due to the location in the water, there are a number of day-trips to chose from. The archipelago is vast, and easy to access with Waxholmsbolaget. Contributors August 16, 2004 new by gagarin [Add Day Trip] Mariefred & Gripsholms slott Edit This In the summertime a steamboat leaves from Stockholm to Mariefred in the morning and heads back in the afternoon (www.magasin1.net/mariefred/). You can go one way with the steamboat, and the other with an old locomotive with 600 mm narrow gauge that runs between Mariefred and Läggesta (www.oslj.nu/). Trains run frequently between Stockholm and Läggesta, and the trip takes less than an hour with SJ (www.sj.se) World66 rating: [rate it] url: www.mariefred.se Vaxholm Edit This A nice trip to see the wonderful waterways and archipelago is to take one of the Ferry's in front of the Grand Hotel to Vaxholm. Tickets are sold right there either in the concession booth in front of the Ferry or on the Ferry itself. The town of Vaxholm is about a 30 minute ride and the Ferry stops along the way to pick people up and drop them off (hence the word Ferry).. You can grab a nice drink or a beer and sit on top and watch the different places and you will notice the drastic difference between the aristocratic mansions as you are leaving Stockholm more..

There is plenty to keep you busy at night in Stockholm but the drawback is again the price. Wednesday night is, beside the weekend, an active time with usually plenty going on and queues at the more popular places.

Stoccolma - Il municipio visto dall'isola di Riddarholmen
Gamla Stan vista dall'isola di Södermalm Stoccolma (svedese: Stockholm▶ (aiuto)[stɔkːɔlm]) è la capitale della Svezia. È quindi la sede di Governo e Parlamento, oltre che luogo di residenza del capo dello stato, il re Carlo XVI Gustavo. Con una popolazione di 1.870.000 è la città piu grande sia della Svezia che della Scandinavia. Amministrativamente è divisa in undici municipalità. Il centro e la gran parte dei sobborghi ad esso più vicini sono compresi nella Municipalità di Stoccolma (750.000 abitanti).

GeografiaLa città è situata su quattordici isole e sulla riva dell'arcipelago dove il lago Mälaren sfocia nel Mar Baltico. Il centro della città è situato virtualmente nell'acqua, le sue coordinate sono: 59°21'N, 18°4'E.

StoriaLa prima menzione di Stoccolma nei documenti risale al 1252 quando era un luogo importante nel commercio del ferro proveniente dalle miniere di Bergslagen. Si dice che la città sia stata fondata da Birger Jarl per proteggere la Svezia dalle invasioni via mare e per fermare il saccheggio delle città, come per esempio Sigtuna sul lago Mälaren. La città si limitava allora alla piccola isola di Gamla Stan (Vecchia Città). La prima costruzione realizzata a Stoccolma fu una fortificazione per poter controllare il traffico tra il Mar Baltico e ed il Mälaren. Nel 1419 Stoccolma diventa la capitale della Svezia. Vi si svolgeranno numerose battaglie, fra cui la battaglia di Brunkeberg vinta da Sten Sture il vecchio contro i danesi nel 1471. Nel 1520 avrà luogo un bagno di sangue ordinato da Cristian II di Danimarca. Con l'entrata nel 1521 di Gustav Vasa a Stoccolma inizia una nuova era per la Svezia. Nel 1719 per poco la città non è invasa dalle armate russe.

AmministrazioneLa città di Stoccolma è una municipalità governata da un consiglio comunale eletto in modo diretto. A livello amministrativo è suddivisa in 18 circoscrizioni (stadsdelsnämnder) che hanno la responsabilità delle scuole elementari e dei servizi culturali e ricreativi delle loro aree di pertinenza. In modo non ufficiale Stoccolma è suddivisa in tre grandi zone: Stoccolma Centro Città (Innerstaden), Stoccoma Sud (Söderort) e Stoccolma Ovest (Västerort) che sono a loro volta suddivise in zone più piccole.

CulturaStoccolma è una città con un'intensa vita culturale che ospita inoltre la maggior parte delle istituzioni culturali nazionali come teatri, opera e musei. Ci sono due siti appartenenti all'Elenco del Patrimonio dell'umanità dell'UNESCO: il Castello di Drottningholm e il cimitero sud chiamato Skogskyrkogården. Nel 1998, Stoccolma è stata Città Europea della Cultura. Ogni anno i Premi Nobel per letteratura, fisica, chimica e medicina vengono consegnati nel corso di una cerimonia formale che si tiene il 10 dicembre, l'anniversario della morte (1896) di Alfred Nobel.
