Spring in Stockholm

Stockholm is the beginning and end of our Interrail trips. This last day we overnighted and spent time on Södermalm, the former area of working people. When the city grew Söder became a hub for artists and bohemian youth. Today it, however, looks more like a middle-class neighbourhood. It is a hilly island with parks, some old protected houses, old city apartment buildings and beatiful views to the city surrounded by lake Mälaren and the Baltic.

View from Skinnarviksberget
It is nicer to admire downtown area from here
Narrow wooden paths run along the edges of the cliff
Lot of stairs on a hilly island
Again a hill
Beautiful old houses are protected
Not so bad looking these apartment buildings either
Maria torget
Tosca pastry for mother’s day morningcoffee
Swedish meatballs, köttbollar, had to be tasted

Fotografiska is a must for me on every Stockholm visit. This photo is “Shadow of Pelle svanslös” by Hans Hammarskjöld. My daughter used to love stories of Pelle Svanslös, Pekka Töpöhäntä by Gösta Knutsson.
