The Stockholm archipelago is breathtaking with its countless islands and beautiful scenery. It’s a special place that left us with a lasting impression. 😊
bztravel@@bztravelOut of curiosity: Do cruises like this advise passengers when they're about to sail in through such scenery like Stockholm or Rio de Janeiro? I've often seen cruise ships arriving at the crack of dawn and felt sorry for anyone missing the scenery.
Stockholm never ceases to amaze me. A relative of mine, who has been living there for decades, told me he feels the same way; "Although I'm a resident I often go into the city centre, stroll around and simply inhale the atmosphere and the beauty of this magnificent city, just like a tourist would". Says it all.
I agree, except that the very city centre (Klara quarters) was largely destroyed by "modernism" between 1952 and 1974. Most other parts of Stockholm are much better preserved. (Myself live 60 km north of Stockholm, and visit quite often.)
Wow, that’s incredible! Growing up in the Stockholm archipelago must have been magical, surrounded by all that beauty. What a special place to call home! 😊
@@bztravel yes it was. but it was not always easy. I remember it could be tricky to get to school sometimes. I had to travel to another larger island. during bad weather we could get stranded.
I am very happy that you like my country Sweden and that you felt that you got more energy on your long adventure. That both the capital Stockholm and beautiful Gotland were exciting for you to explore. Welcome back!
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the video and our narration style. Stockholm truly is an incredible place, and it’s amazing to hear that it’s your hometown!
As a Swede living on one of those 30.000 Irlands and with transportation with our own boat. Some periods with extra planning during ice periods 😊. We bought a piece of land and built our house with a lot of planning, logistic transportation. All by hand and by our self. You are a special person living in those isolated places. A living dream to Us with the nature all around us and with all seasons. I really loved Your video and the setup. You made me courious about my own city and in a relaxed way. Calming.... Dont hesitate to visit Stockholm for another year, and for a week. 😊. There is much to explore that will bring memories for life. Maybee a visit to our place 😊
Wow, that sounds like an incredible life! Living on one of Sweden's islands with your own boat and building a house by hand-just amazing.Stockholm really stole our hearts, and you’re absolutely right-we’ll need at least a week to dive deeper into all it has to offer. And hey, a visit to your island paradise sounds like a dream to us! 😊
Very nice presentation of our capital Stockholm. Just a few notes. I am a history buff so most of my remarks is about the history of the city. 1: The Royal Palace is built on the same spot where the old palace dating back to the 12th century stood. It burnt down in a fire in 1697 and the palace standing there today took a very long time to build due to wars, plague, famine and the fall of the Swedish empire in 1718-21. It was finally inaugurated in 1754, and no, the King and Queen don't live there, they have their offices there but they live at the Drottningholm palace on Ekerö, an island outside of Stockholm. 2: The Nobel Prize Museum is actually the Old Stock Exchange Building and the square outside it is Stortorget (Grand Square) where the horrible Stockholms Blodbad (Stockholm Bloodbath) took place in 1520, about 80-100 people was beheaded there as a result of the danish king of the Kalmar Union trying to consolidate his power over Sweden and ultimately failed as Sweden finally left the union in 1523 and elected Gustaf Vasa as king of Sweden. This marked the beginning of Sweden becoming more powerful and the slow decline of Denmark as the leading power of the nordic countries. This is just a short summary of all the struggles between Sweden and Denmark during the Kalmar Union between 1397 and 1523. If interested just search for the phrase Kalmar Union. 3: At last just a funny note on the lighter side. When sitting on the restaurant by the Stortorget you showed the beer lass with the text saying "FAT21". That just means "keg/barrel 21", as in a beer or ale keg/barrel. In Sweden draught beer is called "fatöl" which literally means "keg beer". I hope you find my notes worth reading and I hope that you will return and see more of our lovely capital and also some other parts of our country. Welcome back !😀
@@herrbonk3635 Well, yes...in historical terms. They moved out to Drottningholm Palace in 1981, so it rather just depends on how you define "recent". Their youngest child Princess Madeleine has never lived there (born 1982). Prince Carl-Philip was born 1979 and lived at Stockholms slott (The Royal Palace) his first two years, while Crown Princess Victoria was born 1977 and was four when they moved out. In a documentary about the history of the palace she mentions that she has very vague memories from living there.
That’s incredible! The sail through the Stockholm archipelago was absolutely one of the highlights for us. It was like a magical maze of nature and beauty-just stunning and definitely something special!
Hello. I mean it from the bottom of my heart, I also think that you are a cool couple who in a charming and nice way show us viewers environments in different places, you are so welcome back to Sweden 🇸🇪 Greetings from Lars
Hi guys. Thank you for the nice video from my hometown Stockholm, nice to see with your eyes how nice it is, I was so proud of how you presented our city, so a big THANK YOU to you both. Greetings Lars from Stockholm 🤗
Thanks for the kind words about our video quality. We’ll absolutely be back, and next time, we’ll explore even more of Sweden, especially those incredible islands.😉 Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
Such a beautiful city with so much to do and see. That hand carved ship was amazing. I would’ve had a hard time choosing what to see too. At least you had two days.
Your husband has a good sense of direction, he's perfectly correct as to how your cruise ship and subsequently the ferry travelled when pointing on the map.
😊 Zarko does have a pretty good sense of direction, but we’ll admit, the dotted line on the map definitely gave him a bit of a boost! Glad you enjoyed the video and our navigation skills!
Beautiful video! Thanks! But one correction. The King and Queen does not live in Stockholm Palace. It is their working place. They live in Drottningholm Palace just north west outside Stockholm. You can visit that palace too. Go from the city by boat or tunnelbana/bus. The castle is gorgeous and have lovely surroundings. Welcome back! 😊
how nice that you were here and also liked it, welcome back :) You did really good activities, boating is the best, there is even more to see if you enter the lakes and boat inland. Can recommend a visit in December as well, magical to go by boat when the city lights up.
Thanks! 😊 We had a fantastic time and Stockholm was one of the highlights of our entire World Cruise. One of the places we want to return and spend more time for sure.
@@bztravelAnother tip is to stay at the Elite Marina Hotel, it's the hotel next to where your boat ported, so you get the same view from the hotel, and you can also walk along the water where you first local boattransfer went with many awsome restaurant. A local boattransfer takes you from the hotel to the city or the old town or the island where the Viking museum is for only ~4USD each one way.
You hit all the sweet sports in 2 days. If you come back there is plenty more to experience. Try the residential palace of Drottningholm with the magnificent gardens, and maybe Birka/Björkö both of which you can reach by very scenic boat rides. Or the subway stations which are the longest art gallery in the world (most are on the blue line). Just a few tips, there are tons more to explore. Side note: I remember the Vasa in its wet dock and going to see it there and later in its first museum being constantly showered in water to keep it from deteriorating, yet I have still to see it in its final place. It is gorgeous and a national treasure despite the embarrassment it was originally...
@@bztravel if you like art, history and music you should definitely try and catch a play at the Drottningholm royal theater. It is the oldest still functioning theater in the world with many original sets. The ingenuity of the scenemakers and special effects of the times is just great. Look it up to learn more.
Beautiful - on my list! What a treat - that sail in was breathtaking - the stillness of the early morning was just sublime - thank you again for sharing. Looking forward to the next stop!
Tip from a local Stockholmer, book a 24 hour local Swedish or Finnish cruise between Finland and Sweden, costs only 50-100 USD, get the whole round trip with food and accommodation plus the view through the archipelago :)
It really was special-those reflections in the water were something else. We don’t get to see that kind of stillness very often, and it made the sail-in unforgettable. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for coming along with us! More adventures ahead!
@@bztravelYes, then you can again experience the boat trip through the archipelago :) There are different boats and price ranges so there are options for everyone's needs.
We absolutely loved your beautiful city! Stockholm has been one of the highlights of our world cruise-truly one of the most stunning places we’ve visited. We’ll definitely be back to explore more, including the islands and maybe even venture up to northern Sweden. Our two-day visit was fantastic, and we can’t wait to experience even more next time!
Thank you for the suggestion! We’ll definitely include the shopping districts around Stureplan on our next visit. Looking forward to diving into that side of Stockholm! 😊
FAT 21 means "Cask no 21". S:t Erik is the patron saint of Stockholm. He was a king of pre-Sweden that is buried in Uppsala Cathedral, the main church of the Swedish lutheran church.
As a swede here, and Stockholm resident, I can tell you guys that you unfortunately missed the most cool museum in stockholm and one of the most famous ones,if not the most famous one, Skansen museum..the oldest outside museums in the world. That is a must when visiting Stockholm to go in there.. In a top 3 list I would put Skansen,Wasa museum and the Nordic Museum...Stockholm is PACKED with great museums..but these ones are the top ones..
😊 You’re right, no presidents in Sweden! We appreciate the correction, and we’ll make sure to keep that in mind for next time. Stockholm has been an incredible city to explore!
The king and queen does not live in the castle in city of Stockholm. They live in Drottningholm castle. Its still in Stockholm but just out in the lake of m´Mälaren. The Castle you are in, is more of an museum.
Owning an island definitely sounds grand! As we sailed by, we couldn’t help but admire them and wonder what daily life is like-commuting, getting groceries, and just the logistics of living on your own little slice of paradise. It’s fascinating to think about!
@@bztravel Most of them are summer houses and there are small food shops in the archipelago or they buy on the way out to the house . Plus some big freezers and refrigerators . Buying an island with a privet house on it that's on thing , but buying an island without a privet house on it (the state owns it) requires a lot of different permits from the municipality .
I grew up in Stockholm and sorry to say that the old town have transformed to be an total tourist trap with all shit stores and typical swedish shit merchandise. Moved down to the heart of sweden in the middle of the woods, the real Sweden! Stockholm is a beatiful and magnificent city as long you don't get trapped in the tourist things to do. I love your taking on Stockholm though.
It is actually not fjords but fjards. Fjard and fjord were originally the same word, and they generally meant sailable waterway. In Scandinavia, fjords dominate along the North Sea coast while fjards dominate the Baltic Sea coast.
Haha, yeah, spellcheck definitely prefers “fjord” over “fjard”! 😄 You’re probably right, though-it’s an interesting little detail, but not something we’d lose sleep over. Thanks for the clarification, though! Now we know the difference, even if it’s a small one.
Not exactly, the oldest preserved letter mentioning Stockholm is from 1252. Stockholm has however obviously still existed for quite some time at that point since the same letter effectively demoted Sigtuna from capital status by giving it city rights. You wouldn't just write to the capital that "Hey you guys have city rights now." and give that command from a place that just popped into existence. Stockholm was established somewhere between 1190 and 1240. By 1252 it officially replaced Sigtuna as the economic and political centre, which means it must have de facto achieved that status earlier.
You can be happy too! Think about it. 1. Self-awareness: Recognize when the urge to criticize arises. Ask yourself if the criticism is really about the other person, or if it’s reflecting an insecurity or frustration you’re dealing with. 2. Practice self-compassion: Instead of being hard on yourself or projecting onto others, practice being kind to yourself. Understand that everyone has flaws, and that’s part of being human. 3. Shift focus to gratitude: Instead of looking for faults, practice gratitude by focusing on positive qualities in yourself and others. This can shift your mindset from one of criticism to one of appreciation.
The beer looked good....warm I guess since you are in a cold climite and people drink warm beer in colder climates.....also did you happen to taste the warm soft serve ice cream that tastes like oil.....I will admit the Swedish women are some of the most beautiful in the world........
