Stockholm, Sweden -(8) Royal Palace

Sweden's Royal Palace is the official residence of the Swedish monarch and opens parts of the palace to the public, including The Treasury, The Royal Chapel, The Royal Apartments, Gustav III's Museum of Antiquities, and Museum Three Crowns. The Royal Chapel is only open on weekends and unfortunately, it was closed on the day of my visit. However, I was able to capture some beautiful photos from inside The Royal Apartments and even some royal crowns from The Treasury.






























Stockholm, Sweden (7) Gamla stan (The Old Town)

Gamla Stan is Stockholm's charming old town, characterized by its winding cobblestone streets and colorful 17th and 18th-century buildings. The town is home to several landmarks such as the medieval Storkyrkan Cathedral, the Nobel Prize Museum, and the Royal Palace - the official residence of the Swedish monarch.









Stockholm, Sweden (6) Skeppsholmen och Kastellholmen

 Kastellholmen is a beautiful island situated in the heart of Stockholm, connected to the district of Skeppsholmen via the Kastellhomsbron bridge. With a size of 31,000 square meters, it is a part of the Royal National City Park, which was established in 1995. The island is home to several significant cultural and natural landmarks, including royal palaces and military installations.

During my visit to Kastellholmen, I walked around the entire island and captured some breathtaking panoramic views of Ostermalm, Djurgarden, Sodermalm, and Gamla Stan. From this vantage point, I was able to see several well-known landmarks, such as the Swedish parliament building, the Royal Palace, the old town, the picturesque harbors filled with beautiful boats, the Viking Museum, and the Grona Lund amusement park.
