Walking through the capital of Sweden will see the Town Hall, the Church of St. Nicholas, the Royal Palace and other interesting places in Stockholm.
Unusual sights of Stockholm
- Mulina's fountain: the fountain, next to which are planted willows of a special hybrid species (“fountain willows”), are “inhabited” by mythological characters - the ocean god Aegir with his wife Ran and 9 daughters, who listen to the Waterman playing the harp.
- Monument to the Chicken Crossing the Road: This funny monument is a running chicken that sees nothing in front of it. They say that her appearance is due to the city's drivers - in this way they jokingly expressed their attitude towards women who are inattentive on the road.
- Carlson's House: It is located at the top of the 6-storey building where Astrid Lindgren lived (many take memorable photographs against the backdrop of Carlson's dwelling).
What interesting places to visit in Stockholm?
Visitors to the Kaknastornet television tower (see the photo gallery at www.kaknosternet.se) will be offered to climb to the 155 m observation deck, which offers beautiful views of the city and the islands belonging to the Stockholm archipelago. Those looking for a bite to eat or a couple of cocktails can check out the Skybar. It should be noted that there is a tourist office “Kaknas” in the tower - they sell tickets for excursions, maps and souvenirs.
