Stockholm

We spent just one day in Stockholm. Eight years ago, we spent about 4 nights here and saw lots of museums. Today, we took the 40 minute train from Uppsala to just walk around town and see the sights. We saw the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace and poked our heads in the free armory museum under the palace. And we walked around Sodermalm, where we stayed the last time. Instead of an expensive boat tour, we took a local ferry to Skeppsholmen, a small island in the city and walked back to the Central station. After 10 miles of walking, we called it a day and took the train back to Uppsala for dinner. Our 3 month Eurail pass covers trains like this for free. Stockholm is an amazing city with tons to see, but we're really enjoying the slower pace of Uppsala and the vibrant student scene.Read more
