(edit title) Places to visit close Stockholm Options

[dacoba]

Hi everyone, my family came to Stockholm and we spent three days in visiting the city, we visited HAGA PARK, the Unesco Cementery, Gamla Stam, tomorrow we are going to Vasa museum and if the weather is good we are going to walk in Djugarden, but the problem it is we have two days more, and I do not know where I could take them to visit, they like more visiting natural places and landscapes than visiting museum, so Could anyone recomend me where I could go with them close to Stockholm or in Stockholm? I saw about going to Dalarna (Mora), but it is very far.

Thank you very much in advance

in town you still have skansen (it's an open air museum which preserves and presents the cultural side of many regions of sweden during different ages.)

while you aren't really "museum" people, i also highly recommend going to stadshuset (the city hall). the architecture is wonderful, the tour is informative and it's where the nobel banquet is held, so there's an appeal for anyone who has ever heard of the nobel prize.

i also highly recommend a trip to sigtuna (the city is over 1000 years old) there are ruins and a very charming town to wander about in. you can combine the outing with a trip to gamla uppsala and walk around the burial mounds. there is a visitors center there now too to give added information.

taking the boat to waxholm and seeing the fortress is also a good outing. you can come back by bus.

if you like castles there are several within a reasonable drive from stockholm. drottningholm can be visited inside and the walk around the grounds is wonderful in any weather.

if any of this catches your interest and you need more detail, let me know and i'll post some links.

Did you go to the royal palace because that is cool especially the treasury which has jewellery and clothes worn by kings and queens from centuries ago!

*yawn*

:twisted:

i never recommend the palace unless it's something you're particularly into...though i will admit the treasury is pretty ok.../me likes the bling.

Causally walk around, shop, etc., and enjoy the Swedish people you meet.

The people are the Sweden's greatest asset!

Enjoy.

then the museum tre kronor is a must. i love the intrigue surrounding the fire and the current palace.

Thank you very much for answering me, how could I go to Drottningholm, or Upsala, is it better go in Bus or in train, where could I get the timetables?

And what about Orebro, is it a nice place to go?

Thank you in advance

I came across this site which could be interesting for short breaks, seems to have lots of cheapies.

In my estwhile opinion, the best places are the view of the railway station as your leaving. The morgue, the sewage pits and all the drunks throwing up on the streets.

Spotting the Royals and hoping one falls over and breaks a leg, the PM being run over by a truck driven by a Nigerian, and all the femminazies getting preggers and giving birth to midgets in pink polo shirts. Dykes on spikes falling through the ice, and Carola sniffing cocain and appering on stage with the white stuf around her nostrils, and our poster here... Eagle, getting goosed by Jonny Holms.

Thank you very much for answering me, how could I go to Drottningholm,

probably too late an answer if you were doing it today, but you would take a bus http://www.stockholmtown.com/templates/pag...?epslanguage=EN

well i've been here for 4 monthes travelled the world pretty extensivly, lived in many different countries and i can safely say the swedish are NOT swedens greatest asset they are its greatest liability apart from the 4 members of abba and a few others the people are the most boring and unfriendly people i've mat yet!

the nature is truly beautiful and majical

Hi again, finally I think I am going to Sigtuna, what could I see there?

How much time do you think I need to see Sigtuna?

007 What do you mean? You mean the same day go to Sigtuna also go to Upsala?

Thank you very much in advance

yes, i mean you can visit sigtuna and gamla uppsala (even uppsala) in one day if you have access to a car. if you have no car, then probably sigtuna and then uppsala and then back (check out their websites for transport)
