We spent a couple of days exploring Stockholm, on foot, by guided tour bus, and even from on board a hop on, hop off boat. The picturesque Swedish capital by the Baltic Sea is comprised of 14 islands, with an expanse of water, ornate bridges, and boats to add to its beauty.Â
We did a lot of walking on our own, exploring the Parliament, an old fort, the end of the Changing of the Guards, and then climbed on a bus for a very informative tour in English. Our tour guide took us for a stroll around the lovely old city, where Bob was fascinated watching the way they repair cobblestone streets. Join us as we experience the smallest sculpture in Stockholm, the Nobel Museum, the Wooden Horse Museum (because the wooden horse is one of Sweden’s national symbols), the King’s Garden, and Stockholm City Hall where the Nobel Prize Banquet is held each year.
We stayed in a hotel right beside the Avicii Arena, formerly called the Globe because it is The world’s largest spherical building, and the breakfast room overlooked the interior of the arena. On Day 2 in Stockholm, we took a boat tour, visited the Vasa Museum, which houses a 17th-century ship that sunk on its maiden voyage and was raised from the bottom of the bay 300 years later.
Finally, we found a truly royal place to put our Love Lock!
