Stockholm, Sweden

After another nice train day, we visited the capital of Sweden, Stockholm. We slept in a red boat hotel for two nights, giving us one full day to visit. It is a boat parked on the side of the river with a bar and restaurant upstairs and rooms downstairs. The old part of the city is really nice. We also visited a history museum, Historiska Museet, which was really interesting with part of the viking history.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bergen to Stockholm, Norway to Sweden

The train ride from Bergen to Oslo is a really scenic route 1222 meters above sea level and goes through 182 tunnels. There was 15000 men working on this railroad track for 34 years from 1875 until its completion. It was a really impressive route. The nicest part for us being the highest one, since we like mountains.

And this is the only moose we saw in Sweden...

Bergen, Norway

Bergen is as we expected it. A lot of great views with a lot of tourists. That is why we preferred Alesund over Bergen. There a nice view point we walked to that is right by the city at 425m. There is also a funicular going up there.

Bryggen

The houses from Bryggen are wooden houses that look like they are falling apart. They are the oldest part of the city.
