National Museum

Highlight • Monument

There is free admission to all collections despite temporary exhibitions. The collection rooms are arranged in a way that you follow through history (from the medievial period to ~ 1900). There is also an Nationalmuseum App that contains audio guides, facts and inspiration. Compared to most other mayor art museums in Europe, it is not as spectacular, but if one passes by it is worth a visit.

Strömbron Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Strömbron is a 140-metre-long viaduct which connects the Royal Castle in Gamla Stan to the central part of Stockholm/the park Kungsträdgården. Built in 1946 after a decades long controversial debate as a provisional bridge, the bridge is still in place till today. From the bridge, you have a great view on the castle, the grand hotel and the opera.

Changing of the Guard at the Royal Palace Stockholm

Highlight • Historical Site

The huge walls of the city palace make it clear from afar that this building plays a major role in Stockholm. The medieval Vasa Castle used to stand here, but was completely destroyed by the devastating fire of 1697. In 1754, on the site of the former fairytale castle, an impressive baroque building in Italian style rose - like a phoenix from the ashes. With its square floor plan, the city residence of the Swedish royal family is as huge and colossal as it is distant and cool. The Swedish king's workplace is one of the largest inhabited castles in the world. Since the royal family only has their official city residence here and actually lives at Drottningholm Palace, the palace offers enough space for extraordinary museums and exhibitions in addition to the state rooms.

In the Te Kronor Museum you can trace the history of the castle's creation, while the treasury contains fascinating jewels and the imperial insignia of the key, orb and scepter. There are also various crowns, swords and a huge silver baptismal font to admire. The armory impresses with military exhibits, but also bizarre items, such as the stuffed horse of King Gustav II Adolf or the face mask of Gustav III. present themselves to the curious viewer. Also interesting are the royal representative rooms with the castle church, which provide a clear picture of the life of the royal family. The daily changing of the royal guard on the palace square is always a welcome spectacle. At 12.15 p.m. sharp (an hour later on Sundays and public holidays), the military parade often takes place here on horseback and with music. However, in Stockholm this popular tourist attraction is limited to the warm summer months, as - unlike in mild London - it gets freezing cold here in the winter.

Gamla Stan (Stockholm Old Town)

Highlight • Settlement

Gamla stan (Swedish; actually gamla staden, "the old town") is the old town of the Swedish capital Stockholm, located on the island of Stadsholmen. It is located in the Södermalm district. In Gamla stan you can find the castle built by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger as well as the two churches Storkyrkan (St. Nicholas Church) and Tyska kyrkan (German Church). In the Storkyrkan you can find the outstanding medieval equestrian sculpture of St. George fighting the dragon by Bernt Notke, which can also be found in bronze in the old town.

As a tourist you really have to come here.

Very nice city walk on Södermalm and around Hammarby Sjö with the super nice new building quarters. And once again really nice Stockholm weather, albeit a bit cool and windy.

I'm back to work and have a day off in Stockholm. Since I've never been there, I decided to do a detailed tour of the city. The meters in altitude are exaggerated again, there were a few small climbs, but they were definitely not 700 HM. It started at the main train station. Of course, the old town Gamla Stan …
