Stockholm<\/strong>, September 2012, pictures by Jan Jansen:ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/p>\n

There are many wonderful places for seeing in Stockholm<\/strong> on foot.<\/p>\n

Stockholm<\/strong> is a beautiful city, surrounded by water, built on 14 islands. So when in Stockholm, head for the water! It is highly recommended to take a boat tour; it’s the best way to see this beautiful city especially if the weather is nice. There are lots of different boat tours to choose from, varying from one hour up to 5 hours – all depending on how much time you have. You usually don’t need to book – just go down to the ticket booth at the quayside and buy the ticket for the whatever tour you prefer.<\/p>\n

The “downtown” area – where all the shops are – is nothing special; it’s pretty much like any other European city.<\/p>\n

It is better to visit the more picturesque old town, called “Gamla Stan<\/strong>“, and wander around the streets there, around the royal palace.<\/p>\n

After a boat tour and a stroll around the old town, it will probably be late afternoon, so then you would go for a relaxing drink or coffees in “The Cadier Bar<\/strong>” at luxurious Grand Hotel.<\/p>\n

The Cadier bar<\/strong> has a lovely view across the water, looking over to the Royal Palace and the old town.  There are other bars in the city with more fabulous views – high up above the city, with 360 degrees panorama views – but sadly they are all closed on Sundays.<\/p>\n

Then, what about dinner? Stockholm has several restaurants which have received stars in the Guide Michelin<\/strong> and\/or rankings in the White guide<\/strong>, including the “Mathias Dahlgren<\/strong> Restaurant” right there at Grand Hotel. The prices are high, but the food is really fabulous.<\/p>\n

But, to be kinder to your pocket you would eat at “Riche<\/strong>” – a “cool” restaurant where the “in” people go.<\/p>\n

However, you might have to as your hotel to book a table for you, as it’s a very popular place to eat.<\/p>\n

There is lots more to do, depending on how much time you have. For example, the famous Vasa Ship Museum<\/strong>. Please see this excellent website (below), which has a lot of great information, tips and advice about all kinds of things to do and places to go in Stockholm<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
