A visit to a few subway stations in Stockholm is a must for art lovers. Most of the stations are decorated with art, and they are close to the city center. Just get a metro map and plan a few stops—or explore every stop—to marvel at the art. There are three main lines: red, blue, and green, so it's quite easy to navigate. Here are some snapshots of a few of the stations.

 After my first entry on Stockholm last year, I guess it's time to continue sharing my experiences, albeit a year later. Let me briefly share my experience in Stockholm's old town, Gamla Stan. We signed up for a free walking tour on the day of our arrival. We reached the meeting point late but fortunately managed to join the group as we walked toward the starting location. To be honest, I don't quite remember the exact route we took, but it's easy to find one online. A better self-guided walking tour is also available  here . The old town offers many pleasant walking experiences, not to mention the narrowest alley in the country. At the end of the tour, we visited the Nobel Prize Museum.  Alley view of the town One of the famous landmarks. The stone that is dated centuries old.  One of the statues in the middle of the town.

Had a chance to visit Sweden in last end-May. The plan was to arrive in Stockholm, then took a train ride to Gothenburg, where I would attend a conference, followed by a bus ride to Oslo, Norway. After a long flight from KL via Bangkok, finally arrived at Arlanda airport on 27 May morning. Immigration clearance took quite a long time though. Then we proceeded to the bus stop to catch the bus to downtown. Our accommodation was just nearby the town bus terminal. After left the luggages there, we immediately went to rendezvous the walking tour in Old Town area. Luckily we managed to catch up with the group. One mistake in this trip, we should have got the Stockholm pass since visiting museums would be costly. Nevertheless, walking around the Old Town was enjoyable and cooling too; I underestimated the temperature there, thought it should be warm in summer like the other parts of Europe.
