It’s that time of the year again. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and the tourists are arriving by the boatload (literally) into Stockholm. I have previously published a few short articles about Stockholm but this should be your starter as to the must see spots in the city. First, the Visit Stockholm [...]

One of the oldest, posh, buildings in the city belong to Berns, a restaurant and nightclub. Located at the end of Strandvägen and overlooking the beautiful Berzelli park (whenever they finish construction there) at the base of Östermalm, Berns is one of those places everybody goes to for something. A concert. Dinner. Julbord. Summer party. [...]

An afternoon of random hail, snow, and rain. Just like a crazy summer afternoon in the South.

Exactly a month ago, on Leap Day, I spent the afternoon with Mikael, one of the cofounders of the cupcake bakery, Cupcake Sthlm (short for Stockholm).

Spring is arriving in Stockholm. It’s a beautiful feeling to throw off the heavy boots and coats in exchange for brighter, happier colors.

It is also the day to stuff yourself silly with the Swedish dessert, called semla or fettisdagsbulle. Here’s a short history about the semla but what you really need to know is [...]

We received a pretty fabulous wedding present: a helicopter and speed boat ride, a robocopter! Or maybe they call it ribocopter. Whatever, it was awesome. The boat ride was an hour and the helicopter ride was around 20 minutes. It definitely could have been longer! Here are photos, be jealous. It fits a house! The [...]

There is one beauty you can never tire of in Stockholm: the view. Despite it being a relatively flat city with low height buildings, there are a few buildings that stand tall in the city and lend a beautiful view. It does not matter if you come in the wintertime, summertime, fall-time, springtime or depressing [...]

Fall is here. Obviously, the nights are chilly and the daytime temperature is on a rollercoaster. Today is a sunny and beautiful day, almost summertime but with jeans and light sweaters. Since fall and winter in Sweden mean depressing, cold, dark times, there are a lot of things to do in the city. If you [...]
