We arrived at Stockholm about three weeks before school actually started. In those weeks, we decided to savor a taste of Stockholm and enjoy its sights. One of the stops of a green Hop on Hop off bus that we went to was Skansen.
Skansen is an open air museum where you take a peek at the old-fashioned Nordic lifestyle and environment.
Skansen Ticket Prices: Adults -- SEK 100-150 Children (2-15 yrs) SEK 60 {varies on the season}
So the first thing we did was to take a picture of these ladies with a herd of cattle. We then walked to this guy wearing suspenders dancing along to a vinyl record like he was in a club. We then went to this old-school post office. I liked it because of its stunning detail in refurbishment and design. There also was a postman inside wearing an old-school outfit.
We then had a thirty minute walk before we were surprised by an awesome view of Stockholm Center and the Tivoli Grona Lund. We then savored the view before savoring some food from Skanen's own cafeteria/restaurant.
I had a lunch of chicken and a mount of cubed potatoes (carbs!). We then explored Skansen more. We came across a village of stuff that the people from Scandinavia did in the old days. We explored inside a fishing hub, a guy making pottery (shown below), a bakery selling freshly baked breads, a goldsmith's workshop and a gross smelling tobacco factory.
After this we then explored Skansen more by exploring the animals of Sweden and other Nordic countries, a portrayal of a former town-hall, a former chapel and to finish things off, a rose garden.
Stay tuned because tomorrow, I shall post some travel tips!
