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.

Yes, it is. Well worth a day trip. Easy to do by train.

That would be Uppsala. They started building that cathedral in 1260, but it took 175 years until consecration. If one ends up in Uppsala, another place worth visiting is the The Linnaeus Museum. All-in-all, Uppsala is a really beautiful city well worth visiting and due to its proximity and good communications with Stockholm, easily accessible.
