Archief - Zweden - Deel 1

Things to do:

1. Tekniska museet (the technological museum). It's usually quite a good museum to visit.*They* have one of those dome theatres with 3d effects and chairs that move and stuff. I usually end up getting sea-sick from it, but it's cool before you start feeling ill.

2. From Stadsgårdskajen you can catch a ferry over to Djurgården (Djurgårdsfärjan), where you'll find a zoo (Skansen) a tivoli (Gröna Lund) and a lot of nice strolling areas. Prices here will inevitably be a bit steeper than the rest of Stockholm, but if you do want to stop for a drink I recommend Blå Porten that's situated just around the corner from the Gröna Lund entrance. Even if you don't visit the amusement park or the zoo, I would still recommend catching the ferry, cause it's quite a good way of eeing Stockholm. Also, the ferry leaves from the old city, so this could easily be combined with a visit there.

3. Moderna Museet (the museum of modern art) is really nice if you like art. I've been there several times, and always found it interesting.

4. There is a huge park right in Stockholm, where you'll find at least one restaurant where it's nice to stop for a drink. You get there by going to the end of Sveavägen, and then continuing on. This is nice if you just want to walk and get away from things, but don't expect to see to much while you're in there (other than park-things, of course).

5. If you have a hankering for a bit of history, you should visit the old viking town Birka. There is a ferry leaving daily from Stadsgårdskajen. The ticket covers the entrance to Birka Museum, as well as a guided tour of the world heritage area. If the sun is shining, this is a good chance to get a little bit of nature in to your city trip.

6. Vaxholm, and the Stockholm archipilago. If you feel like camping, you can go out into the archipilago and pitch a tent there. If you don't feel like camping, there are hotels, motels, hostels and so forth out there too.

Clubs and Bars:

1. For a really fun night out, I recommend Ugglans Boule Bar. You go there to drink, play ping-pong and boule, and the atmosphere is really friendly and fun. This is an excellent place to get invited to an afterparty with people you've never met before...*

2. For a chance to enjoy some nice beers in a quiet fashion, go to Glenfiddich Warehouse No 68 in Gamla Stan. This used to be my old place-to-be, the staff is really nice, *and they do carry quite an interesting range of beers.

3. Akkurat has a similair feel as Glenfiddich, but is a little bit louder and younger. You'll find it near Slussen, on Hornsgatan 18.

4. Debaser is located on Karl Johans Torg 1 in Slussen and has a lot of live artists playing. It's a nice place where people aren't afraid to dance. The queues are usually horribly long on the nights of the live performances, though, so that might be something to keep in mind before deciding to go.*

5. If you're in to more fancy-pants sort of clubbing, Stureplan is the place to be. Check out Laroy, Ambassadeur, White Room or SpyBar, but beware that prices are incredibly high and it can be really hard to get in. You'll find all the clubs on or around Stureplan.

6. There are loads, loads, loads and loads of other clubs and bars in Stockholm. Around the old town and Slussen is a good place to look if you just feel like dropping in somewhere without too much planning.

Places to go for coffe/tea:

1. You'll find adorable muffins at Cupcake Sthlm on St Eriksgatan 83. Worth checking out if you like cupcakes.

2. Go for high tea at Chaikhana. It's really cozy, and you'll get loads of little sandwiches and scones and tea for around 180 kr. You'll find it on Svartmangatan 23 in the old city centre.*

Things to eat:

1. For a take-away lunch (to enjoy in one of the parks maybe), I highly recommend the wrap place (Wiggo's, that's a wrap) on Östermalm. Finding it might be a bit tricky, you need to go down into the subway at Östermalmstorg, found on Grev Turegatan 6, and there won't be any signs on the street level. There are three entrances to that subway station, so make sure you're on the right street before you venture down into it. Go for the italian tortilla with frikadelles and tomatoes, I promise you it's to die for!

2. If you feel like some traditional swedish food, I can recommend the restaurant Pelikan on Blekingegatan 40. The place has a really big dining hall, and an atmosphere I really enjoy.

3. There is a great tapas place on Sveavägen 74 , called San Leandros Tapas. Prices are good, and so is the food.

4. If you feel like a decent burger you can find one at Broncos Bar, just around the corner from San Leandros, on Tegnérgatan 16.

5. If you like jamaican food, you need to visit Back a Yard on Folkungagatan 128. The service there is absolutely terrible, but the food is to die for.

6. You'll find a horribly expensive, but really nice brunch at Clarion Hotel. Perfect if you're not short for cash and suffering for a slight hangover.

Ik kom vaak in Stockholm! Bijna altijd via Bromma. Arlanda is ook een optie met de snelle treinverbinding. Skavsta zou ik vermijden...

Waarom ga je altijd naar Bromma (Dat is dus met Brussels Airlines vermoed ik). Brussels Airlines: >220eur H/T vrijwel heel het jaar door. Dan ga ik toch liever met SAS naar Arlanda (met ietwat geluk bijna de helft van de prijs in vergelijking met Brussels Air) of met Ryanair naar Skavsta (pakweg 30-80eur H/T + bus naar station Stockholm). Brussels Airlines is veruit de slechtste keuze dus.

Is het makkelijker om op voorhand Kronen te gaan halen of kunt ge ze daar makkelijk uit de muur halen?
