FRI 27th July: New Moon In Stockholm? Or 28th Saturday, or 29th Sunday Brekkie
posted July 26, 2018 3:21 PM RSS
Kairab and I are unexpectedly going to be in Stockholm this weekend...any Mefites up for a meet-up?
our only (shameful, I know) commitment so far is the Millenium tour 11 am to 13.30 on Saturday
let us know if there's other things we might explore!
Oops, forgot to mean Skansen, the world's oldest open-air museum, which is pretty great. I cannot vouch for everything on this list but now I want to work my way through all the things I haven't yet seen.

That was one 20th anniversary celebration. The official Stockholm MetaFilter meet up celebration will be August 19th. I just need to, um, post it.

I think a bunch of locals are out of town at the moment but I can meet up with you sometime during the day on Sunday. There are food trucks and a flea market near the Hornstull subway stop on Saturdays and Sundays. I could meet up with you there on Sunday, if you like.
Other things that might be fun include one of the free Old Town tours (the guide is tipped). I recently took my grandson to the History Museum, which has Viking-related activities in the center courtyard that include bread baking and archery. The museum is free. I thought the bread baking and archery and other things were fun even as an adult. There's a gold room and other Viking artefacts I plan to go back and see.
I hope you will have your swim suits with you because it will probably be hot. There's a swimming spot near the Hornstull Strand flea market and swimming spots all over the city. Finally, my visitors have all enjoyed taking one of the Stockholm boat tours. I enjoyed the Bridges cruise and apparently there's also a hop-on hop-off boat as well.
There are 14 islands so you probably can't see it all while you are here but I recommend seeing Old Town and Söder for sure. I have been hoping to find someone to go to the ABBA museum with me but it doesn't have to be you all. I will MeMail you my phone number if you want to text or call.
