I was there with my husband and 2 friends; also in September and mostly in Stockholm. Such a clean city. Many things to see and do. We actually stayed across the street from Central Station. The one thing I wasn't expecting was that most many places didn't take cash. Wonderful country overall!

While in Stockholm, take a trip to gotland. Might need longer vacation, 1hour train to nynäshamn and 3hour with boat to visby. Visby with medieval houses, stone walls and streets. When at gotland, best is to hire a car to get around, alot to see on the island, fårö, gotska sandön with its long sands and ofcourse Hoburgsgubben in the south of gotland. ❤

It's getting more common by the day. You know exactly why.

The last decade has been mind blowing too, so perhaps not that surprising.

Swedish cops have for the longest time never had the need to carry real weapons unless really necessary, things are a bit different today and we all know why.

Sweden is is different today from a very peaceful and nice country to a very violant one with chuting and explosions almost every day 🤥

That's what Brussels and other European major cities were like just 8 years ago. So I guess times are catching up to us.

Du vet att de e Söderslang för Kaffe, Kafi, ja hörde från min mamma att typ nånstans tidigt 1900-tal gjorde man slang genom att använda första och andra, Vafan de nu heter, alltså såhär: Ka-fi (de kallade kaffe för Kafi) = Fi-ka. Så egentligen e de ba kaffe

Do swedes really do fika like everyday? Or is it a weekend thing? Such a cool concept. We’d never heard of it before being in Stockholm. 🥰❤️

@@WyattandReyka It's something you do multiple times a day. It's something you might invite your neighbour for, or friend, your first date in sweden can often be a fika and not an actual dinner. Most work places have like a time for Fika, a time when like most go to grab coffee, some snacks and sit down, often together and just chat, not working, so basically a break, but with some swedish social norms and practices baked in. It's also linked with how we view cafe's, for example the american coffee shop Starbucks have tried multiple times to launch in sweden but kinda failed, their last attemt has had minor success atleast, 15 shops in whole of sweden, the biggest problem with starbucks is how the place is built around take and go, while Cafe's in sweden customers tend to want to hang around and chill for hours. You sometimes go to a Cafe with your friends / family / date / colleagues and hang there for up to 2-3 hours! you can very often buy a "normal" coffee, that cost the same as a Latte or fancy coffee, but it's included free refill in the price. Sometimes buissnis meetings takes place at Cafe's, just like it can take place in resturants in Usa, like how you can invite people of the other company to dinner before sealing a deal, such things also happen but at cafe's here. Swedes don't go nearly as much out to eat as southern europe or Usa, but we treat Cafe more similar to how southern europe and perhaps Usa treats resturants, like a second living room to meet up and hang with your friends.

@@WyattandReyka Yes, 9 o'clock fika at the workplace is more or less standard, though not usually with any pastry, but now and then someone brings cockies or some other sweet treat to share. Some persons take their breakfast sandwich then, but in any case it is the time when all the collegues gather for 15-20 min, having a cup of coffee or tea, and socialice a bit between work tasks. It is usually a time for fika somewhere between 2 and 3 in the afternoon too. Exact time varies between jobsites. At my job it is about 2 o'clock or just after.

But we say fika when we have something to drink or eat when we socialize, even if it's just a cup of tea or a coffee, otherwise we just hang out. I don't call it fika if I just sit without anything to eat or drink.

Haha yeah I guess all streets in Europe are walkable compared to the US where sidewalks are often missing. Thanks for watching! ❤️🥰

The Budapest roll was DELICIOUS!! So yummy!! We love Stockholm so much 🤗

Thank you so much for the recommendations! 🥰❤️ we will check em out next time we’re in Stockholm!

That’s a cool fact! Thanks for giving us some great information in the comments section!! The Budapest pastry is soooo delicious!! 🥰🤗

I even think Trolls (at least the word) is originally from Sweden and Norway.

Thanks for clarifying the chestnut issue :D

​@@cynic7049That's true! It originates from Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore

Gnomes! That’s the word. Cheers, thanks for all the help 🥰🤗

Hahahaha thank you! We tried to fly our own drone and got in trouble so these are all stock footage. In time we hope to fly as well as these. 🥰🤗

I thought so :) I fly drones in Stockholm and it's much more complicated than people think with online "drivers license" (not hard to get) checking several maps etc. before flying. But generally flying in the city center is very hard if not impossible @@WyattandReyka

@@WyattandReyka yea, good luck with that in a country that has raised the terror threat level to second highest...

Thank you so much!! 🥰❤️ we absolutely adored exploring Sweden as it was actually a surprise country added onto our list last minute haha. So fun. Hoping to publish more videos soon!

Oh wowza! That’s crazy! A lot of folks are saying that was unusual. We weren’t put off and never felt unsafe in Sweden, if that’s worth anything 🥰🤗 Thank you so much for your kind words. Right now we are working on editing more vlogs ❤️

@@WyattandReyka Yes, great that you guys said that. When i saw them i reacted and thought, "what is going on"? Then i saw You guys "waltzing" ahead like "it´s nothing ". A mixture of feelings came over me after that. There is a contrast/difference and it needs addressing. Just saying...

Whattttt??? We had no idea and that is such a cool fact!!🤗🤗 My family has strong Swedish heritage and so my Mormor gives us Tomten every year for Christmas as a tradition! It is very near and dear to my heart❤️ Are there any cool Swedish Christmas traditions you enjoy?? We appreciate you taking the time to watch, take care🥰🥰

@@WyattandReyka About Tomten in Scandinavian folklore is that he is actually a little helper on the farm that you never see. They are generally described as being short, having a long white beard, and wearing a conical or knit cap in gray, red or some other bright colour. They often have an appearance somewhat similar to that of a garden gnome. And you should be friendly and respect him , otherwise you will have misfortune. I'd say that's a difference with the modern day Santa (also called tomten). Your mormor's gifts are probably connected to this older version of tomten.

Thank you so much! It is important that we showcase each place we visit in the best way so the support means a lot! We appreciate the watch and take care🥰🥰

What a cool car! And gotcha. Maybe the owner was just taking it for a cruise or something 🥰

Thank you so much for the recommendations!! We did end up going to Uppsala and did a video on it coming soon so stay tuned for that! We loved it there the cathedral was BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks for watching🥰🥰

​@@WyattandReykaWe stopped being Catholic in 1521!

So interesting!! I love learning new things in the comment section! We LOVE fika! What a great delicious practice! Thanks for watching and the support!!🥰❤️

Thank you so much for the recommendation! As we get deeper into the Sweden series on KZfaq, hopefully you stick around to see us going other places as well! Particularly Uppsala, and then we take an overnight train all the way up to Jukkasjärvi where we got the privilege to see the aurora for the first time and sleep in an ice hotel! That was on my life bucket list to see! It is truly beautiful what nature can do, don’t you think? Thank you so much for watching and the support! Take care🥰🥰

what is the best way to get to Bohuslän? Is May a good time to go there?

@@35Justme1 Bohuslän is the country just north of Gothenburg all the way up to the Norwegian border. Depending on your choice of transportation, starting from Gothenburg would be the best alternative. From there, the train, the private and the communal buses depart. Even the hiking trail 'Bohusleden' begins in the outskirts of Gothenburg and ends by the border to Norway. But renting a car i guess is the best way to move around and see the most places in a finite amount of time. Either way, getting to Gothenburg is easy, being the second largest city in Sweden. You can get to this city by air, sea or land. I would argue that May could actually be the best month. It's right before/at the start of the summer season. Less crowded and to be honest, May was the warmest and sunniest month we had all year.

@@loris-bismar thank very much

We definitely will!! Thank you for sharing. We absolutely LOVE ABBA!! ❤️🥰🎶

We did end up going to Uppsala and you are 100% right! It is a sight to behold! We did a video in Uppsala as well so stay tuned for that! We appreciate the watch and support! Take care🥰

@@WyattandReyka Oh great, i will thanks you too

We will! Send us an email at us@wyattandreyka.com and next time we visit we’ll contact you there 👍🤗

We’ll check it out next time!! 🥰🤗

Thank you so much that is so sweet! That is very much how we feel sometimes when we travel to a new place!! We were especially excited about Sweden so it made us all the more excited🥰🥰 we appreciate the support🤗

Super fun! Would love to see this spread to all corners of the globe

lol right isn’t it weird?!🤣

We were hoping someone would comment what that fruit was!! Hahaha it was a pretty cool looking chestnut for sure!! Thanks for watching and take care🥰🤗

The spiked version is a chestnut in its early growth. Later during the season it will turn brown and smooth, the way we normally think of when we think chestnut. A fascinating transition for sure 🙂

@@WyattandReyka But its not the edible kind

A horse chestnut, not actually closely related to "real" (edible) chestnuts.

the brown stuff is inside. You have to break it open. But yeah, it didnt look ripe @@frokenulle4870

Love it. We really enjoyed learning about it 🤗

Yeah we really want to go to Budapest! Online they say the swedes have their own version and the helper at that cafe told us the most Swedish pastry was the budapecht 🥰 Hope you have a wonderful, lovely day

Thank you!! 🥰❤️ that’s super kind! We had a fun time making it 😊

​@@WyattandReykaДа,классно получилось 👍🏻😉

We REALLY want to visit Gothenburg. It is up on our list for the next time we visit 🥰🤗

Sounds wonderful!! We will have to visit 🥰❤️

That’s interesting!! You know a lot about this hahaha. Thanks for sharing. Take care 🥰🤗

@@WyattandReyka ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for letting us know! We LOVE fika!! It was so delicious! We appreciate you taking the time to watch our video! 🥰🥰🥰

That is very true! I am pretty sure I saw different variations while there. I loved this one so much though because they are walking together and there is a heart between them! So cute!!🥰🥰

@@WyattandReyka In case you didn´t notice, they are same-sex crossing lights 😅 The city puts them up to support gay pride.

Yes! We think that is so interesting! Do you know why that is?

@WyattandReyka both countries had a election and the people decided to keep their own currency, I remember been in Sweden on holidays and I was asked on the street in Stockholm on my thoughts, I said I was from Ireland where we used the € in the South and in Northern Ireland they use the pounds sterling

Super cool that salmon can be found right next to that city! 🤗

Hahaha gotta love good ol’ bing crosby. Who knew chestnuts were inside spiky fruit?! lol. Thanks ! 🥰🤗

Hahaha with a couple flights we were there! Sweden has always been high on our list so we were really excited to come see it 🥰

Hahaha with a couple flights we were there! Sweden has always been high on our list so we were really excited to come see it 🥰

Thanks for the support and the watch! 🥰🤗

We’re glad too! It was really beautiful there. Where are you from? 🥰

@@WyattandReyka I’m from the 5th largest municipality of Sweden, Linköping (I think they should use the latin name, Linkopia, in international contexts; much more catchy), which- I guess- doesn’t say much for an american; ca 150000 inhabitants. It’s around 130 miles southwest of Stockholm (or exactly 200 kilometers). It’s also ”the Airplane city of Sweden”- I thought avout this since you were on that airplane ho(s)tel. Many airplanes are still made here to this day; only for military use though, no passanger planes (that I know of). Because of our 200 years of peace and neutrality (world record; longer than Switserland, which of course you- since you’re well-traveled americans- know is a different country😉😁) we’ve had to have a strong defence (up to the 21st century, when they started to reduce it, which of course now realised was a bad choice and has to be reversed). In a while in the 50s we even had the world’s 4th largest air force!

4th largest airforce in the 1950s!! Super interesting wow. Thank you for sharing. Cheers from some Americans and hope you have a great day! :)

We’d literally never heard of it before walking around the city!

If there’s anything travel teaches you, it’s that “normal” in one place is often very different in others. Hope you enjoyed watching. Cheers and have a great day 🥰❤️

Your home is amazing❤️ we had the BEST time while there!

Thanks for pronouncing that! I feel so bad botching the names because I want to showcase each country we visit in the best way possible. Thanks so much for watching🥰

In Hungary the pronounciation is Budapesht, though. 🙂

Oh wow!! Thanks so much. It’s awesome when the little mistakes we make are found so no one gets false impressions about stuff. And cheers thank you! We’re trying to make the best videos we possibly can 🥰

Haha fair. It was the only Swedish one the shop said they had. 😂

Thank you!! 🥰❤️

tak tak. ;)@@WyattandReyka

Hahaha yeah we knew that editing it but are glad it came out right in the next vlog lolol

Oh that’s cool!! We had no idea hahahaha

Yeah you’re not the only one to say that haha. Apparently there’s security risk in the tourist district??? Who knows. We felt safe the entire time in Stockholm. 🥰

That’s interesting!! We often see heavily geared cops around the world so it wasn’t unusual for us, but as you say I guess in Stockholm it’s uncommon. No worries though we felt (and were throughout) extremely safe in Sweden 🤗🥰

Yeah Sweden is very card friendly now for sure! We were worried we might need it but I honestly don’t think we needed cash at all the whole trip. Thanks for watching! 🤗

Hahaha yeah lots of folks have mentioned the cops. That’s not normal in Sweden, right?

@@WyattandReyka Nowdays, it is becoming that, unfortunately. Europe is very heterogenic today, as the us.

Hm. Interesting! We loved Sweden though it was the bomb 🤗

Lol a jawbreaker? Like a pit? Or the candy?

We eventually did 😏 our next vlog (which has taken forever to edit sorry we’re learning a new software haha) shows us trying meatballs, lingonberry jam and more. You’ll love it 🥰

❤@@WyattandReyka

Yes… we’ve heard. Do you think it’s true? It seemed to us that most folks were content. But I guess you never know.. 🤔

Sorry what? What research?

Stop spreading myths

We love learning new things. That’s why you should travel! Hope you have a great day!

Even though you found some of our mistakes, we hope you enjoyed the video! We’re trying to get better every day 🥰

Interesting. Do you know if people eat the fish out of that river then? Does Stockholm pollute more than it seems?? 🤔 genuinely curious. We know nothing.

while the water isnt exactly "clean", its perfectly safe to fish from and even swim in regarding simming there, while i seen people do this, i dont think the city officially allows it looking at stockholmns official website, they got a page called miljobarometern where they publish reports regarding water cleanliness (specifically in regards to bathing) and the scores for the inner stockholms water seems to indicate its very clean with some minor outlier the reason it looks greenish is probalbly due to light reflections or due to algea, which is common but harmless

Hahaha of course we miss a lot! How could we learn everything and understand it perfectly in just a few days in a place? Have a great day!! 🥰🤗

Super interesting! We love learning about the culture in the places we visit 🥰❤️🤗

Very interesting. Has it always been atheist? Or is that just a common trend in the past 2 centuries?

It´s not really assault guns. more like submachine guns. H&K MP5

@@janseger1693 true I could not remember the name at the time :)

So interesting because this is fairly normal for us to see some heavy police presence in many countries

Is it? We didn’t see a lot of Arabic/african influence while there 🤔

No it's not. Sweden is a christian country, but just as many other countries we have a lot of people who practice all sorts of religions.

😂🇸🇪nope

No it is not but i guess that you are a right wing person just a guess lol

@@mrbrand4720 and muslim celebrates 'hitler'... lefties...

Not at all. Just cut this bullshit

Of Sweden or the United States where we’re from? 🤔🤔
