The story

Having already been there in the height of summer, for a long time I had dreamed of being able to see Stockholm in the depths of the Swedish winter... this year I finally made it! Arriving in the middle of the night in a bitter cold at the airport affiliated with Ryanair (the shuttle service to the city centre, though a bit pricey, is nevertheless very convenient), the next day the city welcomed us with a warm, almost spring-like sun, which let us roam (strictly all on foot) far and wide and visit Skansen (the largest and oldest open-air museum in Europe), which takes at least 3 hours! The next day we started the round of museums (the Historiska and the one on the Vikings) and we kept the 19th entirely for the Vasa Museum, beautiful, and for the old island of Gamla Stan (where the royal palace is), made even more picturesque by the first snowfall...

snow that stayed with us until the day we left, covering the city with 30 cm of snow!

absolutely...TO DO AGAINNNN!!!!
