@CruzzioXT A "skans", as in "Skansen" ("The Skans"), is actually a kind of simple fortification. If the Poles use the word for outdoor museeum they must have borrowed it from the Swedes.
I'm a half Swede living in Norway, and I got to say that Stockholm is like heaven compared to Oslo. Great architecture, culture and people. Not to mention the music scene.
I like swedish weather and I would like to live in this country. But in this movie I like the most the man with a silver shopping bag. He's probably very popular in Sweden as we've seen him so often:)
I have read studies that shown that swedish people have the most pure and good genes of all populations of the world. There genes have the least 'bad' mutations and are considered the healthiest people.
I think I will move to Stockholm. I noticed that there are no gang-bangers with pants hanging down to the ground and no cars driving by with rap blaring at top volume. I can imagine that the crime rate is low since they don't appear to be a "melting pot". How refreshing THAT would be!
@OZRIC1985 Hehe.. i'm sorry to disappoint you but people like that do exist here. But they live outside the city. In the immigrant ghettos. In Malmö they live inside the city. It's a hellhole. Besides, it's cold in Stockholm most of the year. It looks like this for about three months.

You should have seen the restaurant Gondolen the restaurant is just one big enclosed gantry 33 meter over the ground built in the 1930s.
This was really a good tour of our beautiful capital. But I think you missed one important part of Stockholm: Södermalm.
If you want an even more relaxed and "non-tourist" feel, Södermalm is great! It's got loads of small coffee shops, beautiful parks and vintage shopping areas! Be sure to check that out, it's the best part of the city! Especially if you're tired of feeling like victim of the souvenir shops!
@lehar001 Yes I agree. I did finally get there in my July 2010 visit and shot some nice video which I will be posting some day -- I'm way behind in my editing. It is a lovely, very livable neighborhood. And I also walked the nice blocks just north of downtown, shooting more pics and enjoying that place also....Dennis
I lived in Stockholm for 18 years and moved to New York City.
To be honest, Stockholm is nice to visit for couple of days, but it gets boring after.
It's not a nice place to live. The climate if only nice for about a month or so in the summer, then it's usually cloudy and chilly year-round. Winters are cold, snowy and very dark (only 6 hours of daylight in December), but 18 hours of daylight in summer.
@MattiasAyd New York is a lot bigger than Stockholm though. Different people like different things. I personally value a more equal society like Sweden has fashioned with a low GINI index, cradle to grave welfare for everyone and public healthcare. Lower crime levels and less poverty characterise Swedish cities compared to others around the world. I would personally take that over the more exciting life in London or New York to name a couple. It is all your personal preference of course.
@MattiasAyd ..This sounds like my kind of place to live. I like it dark and rainy. The sales tax would be the only downfall. The great standard of living would be a great reason to live there though. Oh, and the gorgeous women too! I am of Swedish, Norwegian, and German ancestry, so I would blend in very well there. :-)
And Sweden is actually a quite multilingual country.
When I went to school there we got to take at least two additional languages apart from Swedish: 6 years of English and 3 years of either German or French and that was during the 9 years of "Grundskolan" the compulsory part of your schooling. If you then went through high school you would take at least 2 years of a third language. At least that was the way then. What's it like now I don't know since I haven't lived in Sweden for many years...
@peregrine234 it's almost the same, except for the new option of choosing spanish as a second language(; oh, and we study the second language for four years instead of three ^^ some schools teach chinese as well x)
As someone wrote below, don't miss the IMAX theather at Naturhistoriska museet (Museum of Natural History), about 10 min by subway from the central station.
Wonderful, beautiful city. I'm just amazed as I've seen this good report. And it looks so clean ! You guys in Sweden are surely some good citizens, make some noise and teach your great stuff ! It's important ! Cheers from Paris.
One thing I want to add to this, because it is honestly NOT to be missed: visting the beautiful townhall of Stockholm. There are tours in English and here is where the Nobel price dinner and dance. Also during Spring and Summer you can climb up the tower and get the best view of Stockholm.
@n1cklass good comment. I always wonder why blondes are always seen as the ultimate beauties. I mean, sure there are a lot of beautiful blondes, but also a lot of beautiful brunettes, redheads, asian women, black women, etc. in the world.
yeah , exactly ..i´m more of a brunette kind of guy =P we have many blondes here in stockholm but just because they are blonde , it doesnt mean they look good .
Forgot about one big important (historical) part ...södermalm :) and i dont say it just because i live there , but that part is as intresting as the rest.
