The city, I’ve been 3 times is located where Lake Malaren meets a Baltic Sea. Meet the capital of Sweden - Stockholm. Every time I visit this beautiful city it impresses me once again. Baroque- style architecture and buildings are what I really like. Once I was a child my mom read me novels of Astrid Lindgren. I bet everyone has heard about Pippi Longstocking, Karlsson-on-the-Roof and a Six Bullerby Children book series. For the fans of her oeuvre there is a museum. Your are sitting on the train and going through a long corridor which is full of animated characters of Astrid Lindgren’s novels. At the end of the trip you are taking a part in an action by yourself. I won’t say how.
However Stockholm isn’t only Astrid Lindgren’s museum. I recommend visiting a few more places. The most interesting place for me is the Old Town. There are plenty of shops with souvenirs. The Nordic Museum is one of the other “must see” places. I would like to mention The Vasa museum. The Vasa is a ship, which sunk 300 years ago, then found and restored as a museum.
I’ve been in many places in Europe but Stockholm is still the most important place for me.
The one thing that Stockholm very impressed me was the metros. Every metro in Stockholm that I passed has art installations, big sculptures and mosaics.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea, people can absorb art while they are waiting trains.
I don't know about the other cities. Did you notice it, Alex? or you only drove a car on land.
For my regrets I drove a car on the land. But I think I next time there I'll not lose an opportunity to see The Metropolitan !
