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&nbsp;wooden horse is one of Sweden\u2019s national symbols),&nbsp;the King\u2019s Garden, and Stockholm City Hall where the Nobel Prize Banquet is held each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We stayed in a hotel right beside the Avicii Arena, formerly called the Globe because it is The world&#8217;s largest spherical building,&nbsp;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&nbsp;ship that sunk on its maiden voyage and was raised from the bottom of the bay 300 years later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we found a truly royal place to put our Love Lock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ITINERARY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what the TourRadar itinerary listed for the days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><em>Day &nbsp;6.
