Stockholm is a very well-kept, beautiful city with a small medieval center and extensive younger quarters. Everyone occupies its own island between the sea and the Grand Lake Melogen.
Gamla Stan.
This small district of Stockholm stands on the round island of Stadsholmen, almost the entire development here refers to the XVII century. The architecture and spirit of the quarter resemble the old city and Malu country in Prague, with the only difference that Gamla Vill is less than in the area. There is a huge number of souvenir shops, including those who exploit the interest of tourists to Vikings. So, here you can buy forged things, repeating ancient utensils, clothes, stitched according to old samples, etc. Of the attractions there are several vintage Kirch, a strict royal palace and the Nobel Museum. In a cafe at the museum, everything wishing to eat ice cream - exactly what Nobel laureates eat during a festive lunch in honor of the premium. A chocolate nobel medal is attached to ice cream. Walking on the central square of Storutorget, be attentive: sometimes tourists meet someone from the Swedish royal family. Go to the Church of St. Nicholas: the old statue of George Victorious Statue is stored there. Dragon, which strikes the saint, is made of deer horns. Finally, visit the courtyard called bollahstappam. There is an iron boy, the smallest statue in Sweden, which, according to the belief, is performed for a small monetary remuneration.
Walking on Gamla Stan, pay attention to the corners of the houses. In the base of one of them, a real rung stone with an ancient thread is laid - you can even take a picture with it.
Museum Island Yurgorden
One of the Islands of Stockholm, the formerly hunting grounds of Swedish kings, became the country's largest museums. Here is the oldest ethnographic open-air museum Skanen, located in a beautiful building of the Nordic Museum, the Museum of Tales Astrid Lindgren Unibachen and, perhaps the most impressive object - the Museum of the Vasa ship. The huge three-maht linear ship of the Wasa was built in the XVII century. He promised to become the largest and richly decorated ship of his time, but sank during the first navigation. After 333, after the crash, in the middle of the 20th century, it was raised from the bottom, restored and placed in a specially built seven-story building. In the museum is all - the history of the creation of the ship, the history of its restoration, objects of utensils and even the remains of the killed in the crash of the sailors. The entrance to the museum costs 130 Swedish crowns, visitors under the age of 18 are free of charge.
Town Hall
Town Hall Stockholm is considered one of the main attractions of the capital, although it was built at the beginning of the 20th century. This building may seem old - this was the idea of the architect Ragnar Estberg - to introduce visitors to delusion. The monumental building must be inspected from the inside, the most interesting thing is exactly there - huge halls, sculptures with a height of several human Rostov, etc. Be sure to rise to the Stater Tower - from its observation deck opens a complete panorama of the capital.
