The royal castle:
The royal
castle. Located in the centre of Stockholm, between the old town and the newer
parts, this castle holds some amazing history. While it might not be as old as
some other castles out there, and certainly not as beautiful to look at, this
castle still has its own history, and when coming to Sweden, you simply cannot
miss it.
Gamla Stan:
Gamla Stan,
or the old town as it’s called in English is the oldest part of Stockholm and
also holds some of its amazing history. This place dates back to the medieval
times with several buildings still standing to this day. Enjoy a day in the sun
while exploring all the little alleyways and streets that make this place so
special. Here you will also find multiple shops offering souvenirs to tourists
further proving that this is a place all the tourists should visit.
Skansen:
When most
people hear of Skansen they believe that it is some sort of zoo. That is
partially correct. There are a lot of animals here, like bears and seals. But there
is also so much more to Skansen then that. Skansen is more of a museum, a place
presenting the history of Sweden. Here you will find many old buildings and shops.
In one part, they have built up a little town, showing how it looked in Sweden
about 300 years ago. It’s an amazing place to visit, and if you are travelling
to Stockholm, there is no way you can miss it.
Liseberg:
This place
is for all of you who are not travelling to Stockholm, but to the second largest
town of Sweden, Gothenburg. Liseberg rests almost in the centre of Gothenburg, and is a huge amusement park. Here you will find multiple attractions that are
completely unique to Sweden, like Valkyria and Helix. If you are bringing along
kids to your vacation, this place is a must visit. That is not to say adults
won’t enjoy it as well.
Nature:
Now, this is
a bit broader of a place. You will be able to find amazing nature all over
Sweden and here they have something called Allemansrätten. What that means is
that everyone has a right to visit nature and do things in it, even if you do
not own the land. That is something that a lot of foreigners find pretty cool, but all the Swedes are used to it by now.
This has been our guide for what you must do when coming to Sweden. We hope that you enjoyed it, and that it inspired you to start thinking about your next trip to this amazing country called Sweden.
