Hi everyone

In advance, thank you for reading this and / or replying, tiz much appreciated! Has anyone here been to Stockholm? If so, what's it like? What would you recommend seeing in Stockholm, etc. Just general info, no need for hotels n such, just what the place is like, what to see / do, what not to see, must-sees, etc. Is it nice?

Any info would be very much appreciated

Thanks!

I have been to Stockholm, its a great city. Checkout the Wasa museum, Old Town, if you like there is an Irish Pub there also.

Will get some more info for you

Cool! Any extra info would be very much appreciated

No need for any info on Irish pubs, not really into the pub scene, but anything else would be great!

I used to work there but I can't say I have a great love for the place. There is plenty I admire about Sweden and the Swedes though.

bbcus is absolutely right about the Wasa museum. Don't miss that. And Gamla Stan (Old Town) is very picturesque.

If you are interested in learning something about, say, politics, Scandinavian design, history, social policy, etc., a good place to visit is the Sweden Bookshop. It's like our Government Publications Office and it exists to promote info about Sweden to foreigners. I see from the website that it has moved from where I remember it but it was certainly an interesting spot back then. Sweden had original ideas on lots of subjects and you should be able to find pointers at the bookshop for exploring those ideas in Stockholm.

Hope that doesn't sound too boring

Is work hard to get in Stockholm? Like what are the chances of going over and finding a job?

Don't know myself. It wasn't even part of the EU when I went there. I couldn't say what employment prospects are like now.
