After a day of sightseeing in the country, we headed to the city. Ready for a day in Stockholm! Since we spent so many hours cooped up in the car (it was about a four hour drive one way), I didn't want to make Ramsey sit in a stroller all day so we just brought her carrier. Turns out, we walked more than I had planned...
The only place we had a hard time finding people who spoke English was when we were trying to buy 24 hour passes for the subway in Stockholm. So after some struggle we made it onto the subway and headed to city center.
The architecture was beautiful.
We headed to Gamla Stan, the old town of Stockholm, and did a little shopping. We walked through the narrowest street in Stockholm, Marten Trotzigs Grand.
It took us a little while to find this street!
We walked some more, heading toward the Royal Palace.
We arrived at the Royal Palace to watch the changing of the guards.
We had to wait quite a while so Ramsey wanted to walk around. She and I ventured into the gift shop at just the right time. The processional walked right past us and we had an unobstructed view of everything!
We headed back outside to watch some more.
As we headed to our next destination, we walked past the place where they grant Nobel Prizes.
We got our selfie with the Stortorget houses!
Beautiful buildings everywhere!
We headed to a little park to rest and eat some lunch. Ramsey had fun with the bunnies.
She trapped herself in...
She figured out how to get out!
Such a happy day!
The buildings along the water were beautiful!
We walked past the Nordic Museum that looked simply stunning from the outside!
We arrived at our next stop, the Vasa Museum!
We didn't really know what to expect but everyone told us to go there!
It seemed crazy to have an entire museum around one ship, but after we were there we realized it was not crazy at all!
We tried to take a little tour, but Ramsey and I spent most of our time wandering around-looking out the window or climbing up and down the stairs!
We learned so much while we were there!
This ship was so tall!
Ramsey found herself a little friend!
We headed back to the subway and enjoyed more gorgeous scenery along the way.
This day looked very different than our other days in Sweden. It was nice to see the difference between the city and the country! Stay tuned, I have one last post for you!
