The buildings above line one of the main streets of
Stockholm, the Strandvagen. If you want to see the sights of Stockholm, the inexpensive way to do it is by getting a Stockholm Card, which gives you free rides on public transit, free admission to about 70 sights, and a scenic boat tour. |
|
The building on the left, styled like a
Scandinavian palace is the Nordic Museum. Its exhibits show how people in Sweden lived over the past 500 years. |
|
The Skansen, a huge open-air folk
museum is across near the Nordic Museum, but because of the weather, I didn't have a chance to visit it. |
|
My last stop in Stockholm was to
see the Vasa. The Vasa sank in 1628, twenty minutes into her maiden voyage. After 333 years, marine archaeologists salvaged the ship and now the Vasa is the best preserved 17th century ship in any museum. |
|
The Vasa Museum is well-
designed with many viewing levels and interesting exhibits. |
|
With Stockholm, my trip to Scandinavia ended. I got to see a lot, but there's
still a lot to see. Hopefully, I'll return in the future and get to see its sunny side. |
