The capital city of Sweden combines modern attractions with historic charm. Kick off your stay with visits to Stockholm’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Royal Palace Drottningholm (the residence of the royal family) and the magical Skogskyrkogården, or Woodland Cemetery. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Town and over the picturesque bridges that span the city’s canals. The 19th-century Skansen was the world’s first open-air museum and is still a premier place to learn about Swedish history.

Enjoyed the service and the atmosphere of worship, encouraging Word and service. Mix of Swedish with English translation. Great time!

An impressive church, in a raised graveyard that dominates its small corner but, not being on a main road, would otherwise be easy to miss. It’s an unusual orange brick with verdigris roof and details so is visually very striking.

We visited Stockholm by chance when my husband was sent there at the end of our French vacation Fall of 2019. He had a day and a half to tour around. This cathedral was one of the places we visited. There was a free concert on this day, and that is always interesting to me to hear the organ and voices in different cathedrals in the world. I am an artist, so sat drawing during the concert. It was a wonderful experience, and many interesting things to see as one walked around in the space.

This church was completed in 1774. It is located in central Stockholm next to Sveavägen. Many famous persons have been buried here. For example, French philosopher Rene Descartes in 1650 and Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986. He was assassinated only a block from the church.

The St. Peter's Church at the intersection of Upplandsgatan and Kammakargatan on Norrmalm in Stockholm is unique in many ways and is today the only Methodist church in Stockholm in use. St. Peter's church was designed in Art Nouveau style with new Gothic features by Erik Lallerstedt and was inaugurated in 1901. The large chandelier in brass has been manufactured by Gusum mill. The large and small church windows in leaded cathedral glass - in frames of oak - have been supplied by Stockholm Glasmåleri AB. The South German organ company E.F. Walcker built the church organ which was inaugurated in 1905. This romantic organ became something of a prototype for the large organ that was later built in Stockholm's new city hall. In 1925 the altar painting, made by Olle Hjortzberg, was added.
