It's been too long since I've been able to get back to Sweden.<br /><br />I haven't spent much time in Gotteborg, but the rest of your itinerary is familiar. My host family was outside of Stockholm, and we also traveled around a fair amount, including some time at their cabin in Salen, which is probably not too far from where you will be in the mountains. Beautiful. <br /><br />My recommendations for Stockholm: There are tons of great photo ops -- Gamla Stan (Old Town), Storkyrken (cathedral), Stockholm Slottet (castle), the Vasa, Djurgarden, Millesgarden,plus tons of great architecture & fun design elements all over the city, etc. Be sure to head over towards the Opera House area -- some of the plazas and the like over there are (were?) gorgeous. There's also a fun large-scale chess board in one of the parks, but I'm blanking on where exactly it is; Kungstradgarden, maybe?<br /><br />Also, looking at your itinerary, it looks like you'll drive right by/thru Uppsala. Definitely stop there!! The national cathedral is in Uppsala & it's stunning! <br /><br />And lucky you!! You will be in Sweden over Midsummer! Fun times!<br /><br />-EllenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
