We have just arrived with our MSC Cruise to the beautiful and enchanting capital of Sweden, Stockholm! Stockholm is such an amazing and beautiful city. Check out what we did here!
We wander through the cobblestone streets of Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s charming old town. The golden hour casts a magical glow on medieval buildings, inviting us to explore hidden alleys and cozy nooks. Our adventure continues to the Royal Palace, where we marvel at its opulent architecture and stroll through the picturesque courtyards. Keep an eye out for the Changing of the Guard ceremony—it’s a regal spectacle! Imagine our delight when the military band strikes up ABBA hits! Yes, you read that right. Dancing Queens and Super Troupers unite!
Next stop? A mouthwatering food tour! We dive into the world of Swedish cuisine, savoring perfectly seasoned Swedish meatballs. These little flavor bombs are served with creamy mashed potatoes, tangy lingonberry jam, and pickled cucumber. Trust us; your taste buds will thank you.
Next, we embrace the Swedish tradition of fika—a cozy coffee break with friends. We visit charming cafes, sip aromatic coffee, and indulge in sweet treats like cinnamon buns and cardamom-spiced pastries.

We then went over to the Museum Island. Prepare to be awestruck at the Vasa Museum. The centerpiece? The awe-inspiring Vasa, a 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage and was later salvaged. Its intricate carvings and towering masts will leave you spellbound. There is also the amazing Viking museum here, complete with viking relics and an awe-inspiring ride! We ended our final day in this amazing city with some more classic Swedish cuisine. We had such a great time here!

The Viking museum, The Alcohol museum and the Wreck museum are all house in old shipshalls.

Thanks for a great and entertaining video essay of a culinary tour around the city of Stockholm! Regarding the candy tasting, I think you would have enjoyed the traditional Swedish candy "Polkagris" a whole lot more, as it's sort of a peppermint/strawberry-type of hard candy? (Licorice in the Nordic countries is an "acquired taste") If you ever visit Stockholm and the Island of Djurgården again, especially during the summer, I would highly recommend "Rosendals Trädgårdar" It's a beautiful horticultural garden with a lovely garden café (partly situated in greenhouses) that serves great locally produced food. Hope to see you back in Stockholm soon!

Nobel connections: the City Hall is where the banquet and entertainment is held, Konserthuset by Hötorget is where the actual Royal ceremony of handling out the prizes are held, and in Gyldene Freden, the very old restaurant at the far end of Old Town Stortorget is where sometimes the Swedish Academy (that picks the Nobel winners of literature) eat traditional split pea soup and pancakes on some Thursdays. They have a floor dedicated to them. Even more so Anders Zorn, one of the most internationally acclaimed painters once owned it. Also, another fun fact that can be used for a lot of European citiies is how to spot any medieval core: just look at the map. The parts that look like "spaghetti" are more lik3ly medieval. The structured blocks were adapted during the Renaissance when people realized the Romans' extreme sense of control and structure was actually good when it comes to city planning. Basically, Medieval times = streets follow buildings, Renaissance = buildings follow streets). There are plenty of reasons to return to the Venice of the North. Glad to give you tips on where to go based on interest. Very informative video, and well captured. 👍

A knife and fork to the cinnamon bun?

Close and close, it's not far from the docks to an metro station, a😮 short walk of 10-15 min

I knew it! People nowadays (including Chefs) don't seem to know that real Swedish meatballs are small, like half an inch maximum in diameter. And some work the meat mix too much so they become dense.
