Stockholm, short and sweet: a quiet, beautiful city, Gamla Stan, fika and Skansen.

Gamla Stan

Short and sweet

Stockholm was such a relaxed place – for a huge city it was very quiet even on a weekend evening. The architecture is striking – in many ways close to Prague with winding streets…in particular the old town of Gamla Stan.
