Our first time in Stockholm, Sweden surprised us!
We were blown away by the beauty of Stockholm, especially the old town in Gamla Stan.
We visited the most incredible museum, the Vasa Museum, and were lucky to catch the changing of the guard ceremony at the Royal Palace. We then had some lunch, and tried some traditional Swedish food like the famous Swedish meatballs (not at Ikea), and stromming (not surströmming).
We also ended the day with some delicious Swedish fika.

@JetLagWarriors I think they didnt mention in that Vasa ship museum about prank that finnish students did? As a Finn its hilarious. They managed to dive with proper diving gear, just day or couple before they lift up the ship, and bring 50cm height metal(bronze, brass, iron or something like that) statue of legendary finnish runner Paavo Nurmi, who dominatet early 20th century olympics running. He had multiple gold medal. They say that it was a "revenge" of swedish made campaing against Paavo Nurmi, when they claimed he is professional, and that time it was forbidded in olympics, so Paavo Nurmi was banned from one olympics at least for that. I think its hilarious, and genious "student prank", that especially tech-uni/tech-college students(abiturientit) like to do. But this was king of other such endeavors. Swedes scientists and historians even think first days that statue was statue of Hermes, messenger of gods etc 😅😅 Not even english lang wikipedia mention about that, finnish lang page tho mention it in the ond of the page/article. P.s. one critical point that prank was possible was that, one of the four prankster(one only alive today I think) was chief editor in students magazine, and he had press card. And the lifting operation area was military zone/area that particular time. With his press card it was possible to him go to do crucial intelligence mission... I have watched and start to follow u when u start your finnish hockey tour. Sweden is bigger country, and I think ypu have great time there. Swedes are great ppl also. Sweden are our dear brothers(outside of hockey seasons :)), and finns love them, thats obvious. Thanks for great content. Keep it up❤️👍🏻🤟

So they had to rework the tech to keep the humidity and temperature controlled and even added a third door to the airlock as you go into the main hall.

The ugly big-nosed figures in that window was Trolls. In Scandinavia Trolls are ugly, mean, often very rich and eats children as opposed to Finnish Trolls who are white, fluffy, hibernates during winter and makes moonshine. Trolls is old folklore, millennia old in some aspects. The ugly figures with horned helmets are "vikings" or at least a tourist version of an 19th century Opera depiction with no relation to reality. I recommend the Viking museum or the History museum for a more accurate view of the actual norsemen during the viking age. The redand blue horses are originally an old tradition from The province of Dalarna. The red ones became a Swedish symbol at the 1930 Chicago International Expo and have been very popular since then. They are hand-carved In Dalarna, and there's almost a different traditional design for every village. Forget Malmö, eat fish in Gothenburg, but then go to Dalarna and catch a home game with Leksands IF... Big cities can be fun, and you've seen Stockholm... but in the countryside is where the soul of Sweden still resides.

It's a pretty unique place by and on the water. You should check out city hall close by too, well worth a visit.

You're right. Strömming = herring. But if you go to the west coast it's called "sill". If you catch the fish in the brackish Baltic Sea it's "strömming", but in the salty ocean off the west coast they are "sill" and usually a bit bigger and fattier. The "border" between them is around Kalmar on the south east coast, and strömming is a subspecies of sill. But when prepared it doesn't really matter. You can buy pickled herring in every grocery store and they are all called "inlagd sill" (inlagd = pickled) even if they were caught in the Baltic Sea. You can find dozens of different pickling variations in bigger stores and It's a great appetizer with a boiled potato or two. It's the classic way to start any holiday meal in Sweden, be it Christmas, Easter or midsummer, usually with a shot of aquavit and some beer. I could honestly start every meal with a couple of pieces of herring and a potato, and never get tired of it. It makes me happy that you enjoyed Stockholm even in the cold season. It's much prettier in summer though with all the green trees in the sunlight (the few days when it's not raining) compared to how grey it looks with just bare trunks all over. Welcome back in a few months!

You wouldn't never surströmming at a restaurant like that. It's not normal food, like something that's on the menu on a restaurant. Other people wouldn't be able to eat if someone was eating surströmming in the restarant, It's something people eat outdoors, in August, in the North of Sweden. There are a few restaurants that do have surströmming, but then it's just like a special event for a day or so, and then you can feel the smell a block away, I kid you not, you think there is some leakage from a sewer or something. Yeah, Lingonberries are more similar to cranberries, than other kinds of berries, so it's eaten with savory dishes. Strömming is just herring. In this case fried herring. There is also pickled herring, which is also worth trying, and that's not surströmming either. Most Swedes have never eaten surströmming, and never will. If you go to Gothenburg you'll eat a lot of fish and seafood, it's the seafood city of Sweden. Don't miss having a shrimp sandwish, or a skagen sandwish. Delicious!

Benny and Frida of ABBA had a flat together in old Town. They had the top 2 floors and you had to walk up 90 steps, no elevator. They loved it though. Lived there for many years and even filmed some commercials in it so you can see the inside a bit.

You were in Gothenburg for a few days to see hockey. Are we going to get a video on the city or did you focus on enjoying it yourself? Edit: posted this at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="750">12:30</a> and then saw you mention Gothenburg, ao looking foward to that. Also, Swedes put cardamom in almost all their pastries, but the cardamom buns can sometimes be a little overpowering. They smell amazing when baking, though.

Seriously guys, you should really come to Denmark. I am a Danish bicycle traveler and a history geek, who would love to show you the place and tell you lot's of quirky stories about the north of Europe. Just make sure that I am at home when you get there, as I travel the globe too, most of the time. But I would really like to welcome you to Copenhagen, as well as other places in Denmark.

@JetLagWarriors Ай бұрын

oh we just got back from Copenhagen! Lovely city. A shame we only spent a couple of days there. Wish it was longer.

If you need tips for Gothenburg let me know. Also cardamom buns are delicious, just as good if not better than cinnamon buns. It is dark inside the Vasa Museum because the old wood of the boat is very sensitive so the conditions are handled to preserve it as good as possible. That's also why it's a bit chilly inside the museum, they control the air temperature and humidity.

Those figurines are trolls. The design is heavily inspired by the art of John Bauer. "Fika" [fee-kah] is both a verb and a noun. We can "take a fika" or "we are going to fika" and it usually means coffee or tea with something sweet. At the square where the bloodbath occurred, there is a big red house with white bricks scattered across the front of the building, and there is a common story that all of the white bricks were the skulls of those beheaded. It's not really, but it's a spooky story that a lot of Stockholm kids have heard.

You should go to Brynas - Djurgården Hockey. It's the finals now and the first two games (Today and friday) are played in Gävle 2 hours north of Stockholm. Djurgården are the team with the most cup wins in Sweden and Brynas has the second most!

I guess you are away now but there is a really cool museum in the basement of the castle with clothes from the kings from the 1500s on. Two full clothings that the kings wore when they were killed in battle for example.

You can only find preserved ships like Wasa in the Baltic, as the low salt content in the water means that the ship worm does not live there. Stockholm IS built on a very strategic position as it is the outlet from the lake Mälaren, which previously was part of the sea before the land rose up. Once Mälaren turned into a lake, the older sities of Sigtuna and Västerås didn't have as easy access to the sea as before and Stockholm was founded in, I think, 1250 AD. If it had been "Surströmming", the place would have been evacuated in 5 seconds flat. I usually say I have had it twice, both at the same time: First and last. Not worth it. "Stömming" is herring cought in the Baltic sea. Herring from the high seas is usually a little bit bigger.

I've heard that the king ordered another row of canons on the ship to make it more impressive and then the ship got too heavy on top so it was easy for a gust to bring the ship down 😄

Man you really got bad luck with the weather if you were here in april. It's kinda 50/50 if april is nice and sunny or cold and cloudy. Sadly this year we got cold and cloudy to the max
