Stroll through the medieval market square in the museum, see a medieval church, and glimpse into the workshops of craftsmen and traders! Step inside a medieval home and brave a trip to the gallows! This museum does a great job of bringing history to life and is designed for all ages to enjoy! To get a bit off the tourist trail I recommend taking a boat for a day trip/hike to Svartsö. This island is one of the larger islands in the area and is home to very small year-round inhabitants. The Nordic Museum is a museum that invites you to explore the lifestyle, culture, and traditions of the Nordic regions. The museum contains over 1.5 million objects! You’ll see everything from home decor, to fashion, to jewelry, to photographs dating from the 1840s!

This is also a great time to take a break and enjoy a Fika! This is the Swedish tradition of taking time out of your day to relax with a cup of coffee or tea and a local pastry! Although it may look like a fairly ordinary cathedral from the outside, the inside houses many great treasures!

Already traveling in Europe? Train travel to Sweden from other countries in Europe is another fine option for arriving in Sweden.

Cocaine and hash come from very far away places and because of that, drugs in Sweden are EXPENSIVE (oh, and very illegal too). Plus, the cocaine has probably been cut more times than an American suburban lawn and won’t make you feel very good in the end. 10. Go for a hike This offer excludes large items (Kayaks, SUP,canoes, waterski’s) and hazardous products, lift rafts, distress flares, electronics. The most famous of these treasures is the dramatic wooden statue of Saint George and the Dragon, created in 1489. The sculpture depicts Saint George taming and slaying a dragon. In the middle ages, a dragon was used to symbolize the devil! Explore the history of Abba, learn about the band members, and have fun participating in interactive music exhibits! You’ll become the fifth member of Abba by performing on the museum’s large stage! You can try on Abba’s costumes, sing, dance, and listen to the original songs! There is nothing better than moving about at your own pace. Having a set of wheels gives you that. Plus, who doesn’t want to make the ultimate Swedish road trip at least once, right?

You can also travel by bus or taxi. TheFlygbussarna Airport Coachesdepart every 10-15 minutes between Arlanda Airport and the City Terminal (next to the Central Station) and travel time is around 35-45 minutes. The National Library of Sweden and the Modern Museum are free and it is not to be missed. I spent nearly seven hours there and loved every minute of it! The Storkyrkan Cathedral is also free! 4. Free Tours If you love history, I’d say paying the entrance fee to get inside the palace is well worth it. The Drottningholm Palace (Royal Palace) is situated on island Lovön and you can take a boat to get there if you want. The museum is relatively small but very informative and contains a wealth of knowledge! The museum is unique and innovative and teaches you about freedom fighters, writers, and researchers.

For public transport within the city, you have buses, metro, train, trams, and light rail crisscrossing just about every corner of the city. Uber also works well for short distances. After a few hours of this, it may well be nap time at the hostel, which you will need after sauna time and beer tasting. Upon being refreshed and ready to roll, get your pre-game on before heading out to enjoy a full night of hanging out at the famous Trädgården outdoor music space. If you are returning something because it does not fit, is the wrong colour or is unsuitable you will need to pay for the return postage. After you have achieved Swedish sauna bliss, you can have a healthy lakeside picnic and just chill the F out for a while.Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name: A Novel:Alone and adrift, Clarissa travels to mystical Lapland, where she believes she’ll meet her real father.

The park also contains a variety of plants and gardens. There is even a small patch growing tobacco used for making cigarettes. The Children’s Zoo features domestic animals such as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more! The exotic animals including monkeys, birds, reptiles, and insects.Discover Sweden’s history in an engaging and entertaining way. Find out how Swedes once lived, see what their workday was like, and explore their festive celebrations and daily routines! I have found that scoring Couchsurfing hosts in big cities (in the west in particular) to be a real challenge as they get so many requests on a daily (or hourly) basis. Sometimes we just need to book a hostel and count our blessings that we are able to go traveling at all. Or, just hit up the lesser known museums and skip the famous ones all together, Millesgården, which is just cross the bridge in Lidingö, features some cool permanent and rotating exhibitions. The Jewish Museum gives an interesting glimpse into the history of the Swedish Jewish population.
