Venice of north Sweden
as summer destination may be weird and of course someone will
surprise friends and family if chose it for vacation. But Stockholm
has a lot of leisure activities for its own visitors. Fishing swimming watching the city from a crystal globe of Vasa museum or hiking roof the activities could cover the most fussy visitor.
 |
| The summer in Stockholm lasts 56 days. |
Midsummer
in Stockholm the tempereture is not so warm as the south part of
Europe and seating in a cafeteria drinking coffee while reading a
book and looking the rest of Swedish people doing “Fika” in one
of the cafeteria in the center of the city. Fika for the offshoot of
ancient Vikings means coffee break. A cinnamon bun a cup of filter
coffee or cappuccino and little talk with their friends or themselves
is part of their culture.
Most
of the Swedish people said that is a tradition and also there is no
particular reason to savour it even at night can . As it can take
place every-time of the day and everywhere.
For
instance Fika can take place as someone is on board and explore the
thousands islands of Stockholm archipelagos. After cruising the
entire country from south to north the hunger will beat the stomach
so dinning and tasting the local food is the only solution.
 |
| Swedish people love sweets and that's why they invented calendar sweets delight as an excuse. |
Restaurants
serve the traditional Swedish plates such as salmon with boiled
potato or the famous meatballs with french fried and “Raggmunk”
Swedish potato pancake served with fried pork and lingoberries.
The
summer nights in Stockholm have different behaviour and strong
personality. As the night comes and the day leaves the changing of
this phenomenon is not visible for the visitors. The duration of the
night is only one hour and that's because Sweden lies at a high
latitude much of the country has long daylights in summer.
However
the Venice of north is famous for its clear waters and provides
diving into the sea for a visitor who missed swimming as near the
city there is Lake Malaren and as the locals said “you need only to
take of your shoes and jump into water” so simply from the loud
capital the tourist find himself relaxing in the beach.
Moreover
sandy beach warm waters and green trees is the scene for classic
Swedish Copacabana in Malmo and burst with life in July. The beach is
only 10 minutes car ride to the city of Malmo which is 4hours and 10
minutes apart from Stockholm.
 |
| The city has as many as 30 official beach baths, but many more unofficial ones. Summertime, people tend to take a dip wherever they feel like it; Lake Mälaren has been clean enough to fish and swim in since 1971. |
Undoubtedly
the view of the city from the roof while hiking is an adventure and
at the same time an incredible experience who worth it. It's unique
combination of climbing and sightseeing and certainly for people who
do not afraid of height.
Beer
flows and the music is on so dancing is the ultimate feeling for the
guests who will be part of the summer festivals around the city!The most famous festival in Europe is WOW and gathers every year more than 30.000 people.
The
story of this country is answered by visiting the source the
museums like the biological, the Vaxholm Fortress and Scansen open
air museums. Furthermore among other attractions is the Royal palace
open to the public and standing still for the public to explore the
600 rooms and the 5 museums.
