When I think about my vacation in Sweden, I cannot help but smile at the thought of the sights and sounds and all the wonderful things I got to experience in the land of the Vikings. My mind is like a movie screen playing a lot of these bittersweet memories. I began to think that the memories of such splendid Stockholm sights are better off shared besides being cherished.

I remember the long walks I had checking out Gamla Stan which is a historic area in Stockholm. Getting around is easy even if you are alone. Just get a walking tour, a Stockholm travel guide or map and embark on an interesting tour of one of the oldest regions of Stockholm.

This is where you would see the historic churches, the changing of the guards at the Royal Palace and the museums. I had a grand time walking down the narrow cobblestone streets and alleys that led me to these Stockholm sights and the many small restaurants and cafes where I had enjoyed sitting out to eat and just smile and watch people go by. This place is generally friendly.

Most of these restaurants have “dagens” which is what they call specially priced lunches. Who said you would always have to spend a fortune when you eat out in Sweden? The whole Gamla Stan experience is like taking a trip back in time. It was definitely well worth it!

Another of the most beautiful places I have visited was Drottningholm Palace and Court Theater. In my opinion, it is easily one the most beautiful tourist and attractions in Stockholm. The palace is incomparable and the theater is a rewarding encounter for tourists like me. It has a garden which adds color to this awesome travel. It is one of the sights everybody should visit.

You should check out the Livrustkammaren or Royal Armory too. The building which houses this notable arms museum is an architectural masterpiece in itself. Livrustkammaren showcases its huge collection of original artifacts from the Swedish royal history. You will see swords, armor, stuffed battle horses, pistols and even clothes involved in the assassinations of kings and even if you are not a history buff, I do think you would enjoy visiting this museum.

If you get tired of the view that the city of Stockholm has to offer, a travel guide to the Swedish countryside would be good for you. You would love the smell of fresh air while you are standing on an open field, the sight of traditional wooden cottages especially in the summer when the sun is shining gently and the butterflies and bees are at their busiest. This is the time when all the flowers are at their full splendor and the countryside is just bursting with color.

These are some of the simple but astonishingly beautiful sights that the outdoors has in store for you. My adventure in Sweden and seeing incredible sights n Stockholm is without a doubt a lasting one. One that will last in my heart and one that makes me want to come back for more so that I could find a lot more of these captivating places that I will remember forever.
