Some memorable moments!

1. The relieving of the guard of the royal palace. after having seen several of them in several countries, it is one of the most beautiful ever seen. the quality of the dance of the horses and the percussions that accompany the music is unique! A real show for the price of 0 euro.

2. Fotografiska, Stockholm's photography museum. I really liked this museum! The temporary exhibition I saw was dedicated to the beauty of horses (with even a game of the senses where I had to recognize samples of odours related with hourses). A very strong point is the café on the top floor.  There are all the pastries not to be missed and the tea is unlimited of course! 

3. The Vasamuseet here you see the wreck of a huge ship, the Vasa, which sank in 1628 in the port of Stockholm during its firt travel!, 95% of which has been preserved. The boat was reassembled several decades ago, It's fun, impressive and unique (the nordic titanic?).

4. Skansen is the oldest open-air museum in the world. It makes you discover the real Sweden life by entering real size houses and farms from all over the country. It's like be the actor of a movie during 3 hours ! Here, you feel how people lived in the past according to the seasons and climate, customs and traditions, work, festivals and the daily life of the past. in this place Swedish traditions and crafts are still alive, and where people of all ages meet. It is the only open-air museum in the world with wild animals.
