Walk over the frozen sea and view Lulea from the seaside. Great experience and one of the highlights in Lulea in winter.

The Old Town, unsurprisingly, is the oldest part of Stockholm. It's certainly the tourist's go-to destination, but that doesn’t detract from its architectural and otherwise urban beauty.
Cobble streets, quirky nooks and crannies, good mix of shops bars, cafes and beautiful buildings and museums, we stayed within Gamla Stan and very glad we did, easy access from there to everywhere and lots of museums worth walking to nearby. Definitely worth trying to stay within Gamla Stan area. We stayed in small scandic hotel which was located just at one end of Gamla Stan.

The Stockholm City Hall is one of Sweden's most famous buildings, and one of the capital's most visited tourist attractions. It houses offices for 200 people including the Municipal Council, and is also famous for its grand ceremonial halls and unique art pieces. The Stockholm City Hall is the venue of the Nobel Prize banquet held on 10 December each year. Between May and September, the City Hall Tower offers a breathtaking view of Stockholm.
There are two separate tours you can take at Stockholm City Hall (Stadshuset). They have separate entrances and separate prices. The tower tour entrance is on the left when inside the vilify hall courtyard and facing the lake. The city hall tour entrance is on the right. Both tours are worth taking but we enjoyed the tour of the tower the most. There are 365 steps to the tower viewing area. It is a very interesting and enjoyable climb, mostly up ramps that go up in a square shape, through brick walled corridors with triangular brick ceilings, around the perimeter walls of the tower. There are also some stairs and the option of an elevator to take you part of the way up. The 360 degree views from the viewing platform are spectacular. You get fantastic views of Gamla Stan and Riddarholmen. Tours are timed and one group must leave the platform before the next comes up. The main part of city hall is only accessible via paid guided tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and interesting. It is best to avoid Saturdays for tours as some areas are closed for multiple weddings on that day. The highlights are the huge Blue Room (which isn’t blue), the council chambers, the Prince’s Gallery (with beautiful frescoes) and the over-the-top Golden Hall with its elaborate gold mosaics depicting Swedish history.

Welcome to one of the largest botanical gardens in Northern Europe. The cultivated part occupies 40 acres and holds about 12 000 species. It is a botanical garden with a strong emphasis on horticulture and the garden is divided into different sections linked by lawns with fine trees and shrubs. You will find a kitchen garden, a herb garden, perennial and annual borders, a Japanese glade, a rhododendron valley and a stunning rock garden with a waterfall. In the bulb garden you find species that are not grown anywhere else. The Greenhouses have more than 4 000 species including a large collection of orchids and carnivorous plants. The Eastern Island tree, extinct in its natural locality, is preserved here. The garden is bordering a nature reserve where also the arboretum is located.
A lovely garden with so many different plants and trees in one place. Springtime, summer, autumn, winter, worth visiting all year round. Nice cafe for a rest as well.

The history of this legendary castle goes back 800 years. For a long time, Kalmar Castle was an important fortification and known as the key to the kingdom because of its strategical location. The Swedish-Danish border was located only a short distance to the south, because Scania and Blekinge were Danish territories at the time. Kalmar Castle was given its current design during the 16th century, when the Vasa kings Gustav, Erik XIV and Johan III rebuilt the medieval castle and made it into a Renaissance palace, furnished and decorated in continental fashion. Even before then the castle had played an important role in Nordic politics, for example as the location for the signing of the Kalmar Union in 1397. This event was celebrated during the whole year of 1997, the union's 600th anniversary. Kalmar Castle is a symbol for Kalmar. The castle's history features international politics, court intrigues, fiery sieges and fierce battles. Today the castle is vibrant and lively place where many people visit.
Highly recommendable to visit! Fantastic medieval castle with authentic sceneries. Would be good though to read-in a bit on the history before visiting.

Sofiero Palace was, until the 1970s, a summer residence for Swedish royalty. The magnificent heritage of thousands of rhododendrons, beds, borders and kitchen gardens is carefully tended by a team of dedicated experts. In 2010, Sofiero was voted Europe’s Best Park.Sofiero is situated just north of the town of Helsingborg in southern Sweden. Interesting exhibitions in the palace and a variety of exciting events and activities in the beautiful park and gardens are some of the things you can look forward to when planning your visit. The season, during which the palace, shops, restaurant and café are open for visitors, starts March 31 and ends in September. However, you are welcome to visit Sofiero for a guided tour, a walk in the park and a chance to enjoy the view over the strait of Öresund to Denmark at any time of the year.
Sofiero is a great place to visit for the formal gardens, especially in the spring for the rhododendrons and in the autumn for the ljusstämning (where the grounds are open at night with all the paths lit by candles.)

Every year more than 700,000 people visit Lund Cathedral, Swedens most visited Church. People of all ages and types are attracted here for a variety of reasons. Besides those who attend services or seek spiritual renewal, there are many tourists groups from different countries, school classes as well as visiting parties from other churches and congregations. Lund Cathedral was consecrated in 1145, and contains many well-known artifacts and features of considerable historical interest. Please don´t miss to visit the Cathedral Forum, Domkyrkoforum, a brand new modern building just south of the Cathedral. Here you can see two films about the Cathedral, drink coffee/tea, and get information.
This is a beautifully built cathedral. It is worth a visit with a day trip from Malmo. The interior of the cathedral is beautiful and you can visit the basement of the church as well. A must visit when in Lund.

The botanical garden in Lund is an oasis 5 minutes walk from downtown. Lots of trees, perennials and annuals. Beautiful outdoor cafe in the summer next to a pond with ducks. And, an ever growing series of greenhouses with tropical climate, perfect for cold or rainy days. A great place as well to take an elderly relative as well as children. Free entrance.
