Nowadays I am around 900 km north of my hometown Stockholm. My university town Luleå is located in the northern part of Sweden. I look forward returning to my favourite town on the winterholidays.
It lives around 1 million in Stockholm, also the capital of Sweden, which has made me realise that it isn't such a big city after seeing the cities in Korea, Japan and China.
Nevertheless Stockholm has a striking beauty with old cultural buildings and an amazing archipelago (an island group). What I like the most is that the city is located on islands, not so far from the sea, the Baltic sea.
One thing that I realised writing this is that of all pictures on cities that I have in my computer the fewest of them are taken in Stockholm...
The royal garden, Sweden is a kingdom so there are a lot of royal things around
This is the city hall, you can see the three crowns on the top, it's our national emblem.
One famous Swedish chemist, Berzelius
This picture is taken from the highest point in Stockholm city, this is in the tv tower which is ~160m
After visiting Korea I just had to find some korean food in Stockholm and here's one ;-)
Trip to the archipelago. Stockholm is built on islands and it has thousands of islands nearby so regular boats goes there daily. The Royal Palace is the quadradic building to the right of the picture.
Close up on Stockholms tivoli
A lot of people live on many different types of islands and very few of them have a bridge connection with the main land so there are some boats working as regular traffic in the archipelago. This is a boat stop
The red boat is a boat taxi and the yellow boat is a ferry transporting cars over to the islands
A gas station
The fortress of Vaxholm, this fortress was built in the begining of the 16th century, so it's quite old...
A very classic picture from the Swedish archipelago
This is the ice cream truck it comes every now and then and sells ice cream to the people
Recycling station, Sweden wants to be leading when it comes to an eco friendly society, so similar station can be found elsewhere

The central part, old town is in the central of the picture.
The Stockholm tivolli can be seen in the middle
There are many chruches in Stockholm, this is one of the most important ones because many of the Swedish kings and queens are buried there.
The parliament
Big cruisingships who cross the Baltic sea disembark not so far from the centre. The small boat in front of the big one is a regular boat on which I'm on.
