I'm going to Sweden in two weeks. We're staying in Stockholm first, then we have train passes for the rest of Scandinavia.

What to see? What to do?

What to see? What to do?

That really depends on your interests. As I'm a culturally challenged wildlife-type of Swede, I might not be the best person to ask though. However, my favorite tourist places in Stockholm are the 'Old Town' with the Royal Palace (with embedded museums) and the Vasa Museum. Check this page.

Go visit the Husqvarna factory. Did you know that they started out making firearms for the royals about 500 years ago?

I've been there several times. In Stockholm, you MUST see the Vasa museum (my son has a poster of the ship on his wall) and spend some time in the Old Town, eating and shopping. Also, about 50 miles north of Stockholm (I forget the town) is the oldest cathedral in the country. Very impressive. All the people pretty much speak perfect English, so you won't have any trouble. And television is mostly English with Swedish subtitles.

Finally, Stockholm is full of pretty blonde people. And I disagree with some here. The Swedes are very nice people, but very naive about things like Israel and the U.S., though they like the U.S.

put in the country or city and dates

I'm in Stockholm for the next two years... the history and culture are fascinating but there is definitely a big difference in "feel" between a capitalist country and a socialist one. Its a nice place to visit (as are all its neighbors) but I'm pretty sure I could only live in the USA permanently.
