Stockholm Attractions (original) (raw)
Being in the Far North is a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to things to do. In wintertime, the Swedes take refuge from the onslaught of the white brute force surrounding them, but once the sun melts it's like a curious bunny running out into the fields of yellow flowers and joy, rolling around, laughing and partying till the wee hours of the morning. Oh yes, festivals are big in Stockholm when the sun is high in the sky and the snow nowhere to be seen. The city has a shopping and dining district that rivals anywhere else in the world and the Swedes have well documented their history, making for captivating museums and chronicle of the Swedish through time. The Old Town section of town is a romantic preservation of 17th century Sweden and a stay or meal in this part of Stockholm is recommended to take in all the Swedish can offer. The Swedes also know how to rock out, so if you're looking for something to do at night, there's always a showing going on that is sure to be entertaining.
