Stockholm
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2010 | Sweden's capital, confident and self-assured, glitters with souvenirs from the day when it ruled as a superpower. From pondering gilded royal staterooms to sampling gourmet reindeer and sipping vodka in an ice bar, we experience the city's cultural highlights. Then we sail the archipelago for the prettiest island-hopping in northern Europe. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #stockholm

Love the ' old style" TV travelogues.With an Anchor who has done his homework and knows how to present facts compellingly. Such a respite from those dizzying handheld gimbal mounted cameras that just zoom past everything- both literally and figuratively. A place needs to be savoured, taken in with all senses to get to the core. This takes time and a static camera :)

This channel's videos should be a mandatory watch for any children around the teenage years. Each video is presented with the utmost care and contains the most important knowledge. Well done Mr. Steves.
Steves always seems to visit these Northern European cities on their rare sunny days.

Stockholm is absolutely beautiful. I think it is the most underrated city in Europe. The streets are so clean you could (almost) eat off them. The people are friendly and speak better English than most Americans. I've been there twice and look forward to going back one day.

Even being filmed over ten years ago, I'd say it's the best travel video I ever seen. No showing off , very good information presented with an intelligent good humor! Hope to watch other videos and travel from home... thank you.

Rick Steves' travel shows are excellent, almost ageless; professionally written, produced and filmed, no cutsie inane small talk or look-at-me moments. Some YT vloggers are good however the lack of training, writing skills and professionalism weighs on the nerves, are winging it and it shows.
Swedes are so lucky to be born in their country. They have the best of what true life has to offer.

Stockholm is very beautiful and friendly city. We stayed at Scandic hotel directly across the street from central Station. This allowed easy access to all the museums. Walking the city was very fun and great access for walkers, bikers, and often electric autos.
Stockholm - one of my favorite cities

I enjoy these videos so much I get a little bummed when they are over. Fortunately, I can just go on to the next one. Steve is quite poetic in his descriptions. I wish I had known about him in the 80's.
My first time ever in Sweden was so espetacular! I had a plenty of good expriences. probably, I will go back as soon as possible.

After you visit Stockholm, you should make a trip to Gotland. Its a very unique island in the middle of the baltic sea where u find a great medieval festival in the beginning of August, every year! it has a big city wall and wonderful unique landscape. It is also possibly the orgin lands of the Goths.

Hello how are you
I've been to Sweden. My friend lives on the southern shores in a small town looking out at Denmark. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. But gosh, looking at Stockholm in this video, I must visit again!
Planning to visit Sweden after watching your video ..... beautiful country really!
What I notice most is the similarity between Stockholm and Amsterdam buildings, and the difference being that Stockholm's houses have colourful plaster as a top layer.
Another great video Rick - well done.
What a nice video of my new hometown! It´s not as big as my native hometown of Buenos Aires, but it´s way cleaner and more stylish. It´s by far my favorite european city, and not only because my husband is from there, but also because of the relaxed but orderly atmosphere, the clean air and water (You can actually take a swim in the middle of the city without geting sick if you want) and the general friendliness of the citizens! Viva Estocolmo carajoooo!

+Carmen Villamajor I'm glad you like it! I'm originally from Stockholm, but currently living in Gothenburg. Have you ever visited Gothenburg/Göteborg? I would really reacommend it. If you think the people in Stockholm is friendly, then you would be blown away by the hospitality and generosity of the citizens of GBG (common as short for Gothenburg, just as STHLM is commonly used for Stockholm).Although i hate to say it, but Gothenburg especially has become alot more unsafe to live in. I live in Biskopsgården ('The Bishops Yard' in English), an area made famous, or notorious is more like it, due to all the murders and people going postal with AK47s. Who would have thought Sweden would be the place to get an AK47 for a few quid less then £1000 (don't ask me how i know the price-range lol). Unthinkable just 20 years ago, sadly. All thanks to the cheerished multi-culturalism we all embrace, or face charges of racism and hatred towards people of color (in Sweden Islam is a skin-color and therefore it's racist). I bet if they just changed the name of the area to 'The Imam Yard' instead things would work sort itself out eventually. Jokes aside, you should really pay a visit to Gothenburg if not for the beauty of the city, then just for the hospitality of the inhabitants alone., Cheers!

We are happy to see many places we have visited in May 2017 while travelling from Turku (Finldand) to Stockholm (Sweden) by cruise and it was an amazing experience. We spent a couple of days in Stockholm and we were luck to get some good tips from a friend of ours that is Swedish to visit the city, including not only the old town, but Skansen Open-Air Museum, Drottningholm Palace and specific places as House of Nobility and Vasa Museum. Feeling nostalgic :-)
