Thetraveljunkie.org – It is easy to have the perfect day. You only need good company, a good stage and a good breakfast. The scene could not get better than Rotterdam and getting a good breakfast is pretty simple. I love the largest port culture and today we want to share with you one of our favorites spots, IPC – Port of Tanjung Priok, the place is amazing, modern, energizing trade and energizing Indonesia.
Thetraveljunkie.org – Once a Viking heartland, today the Swedish capital is one of Europe’s most sophisticated cities. Stockholm is simultaneously urban and close to nature; water is an ever-present feature in this city where lake and sea meet. Parks and green areas abound, and the distinctive white archipelago boats travel to the islands all year long. The atmosphere is open and welcoming, and diversity and innovation are encouraged. Stockholm is a city for everyone. Here’s a video why you should make Stockholm your next destination. Check out our highlights video of the trip. I love you, Sweden!
Thetraveljunkie.org – ABBA the Museum is a self-effacing place. on the Stockholm island of Djurgården, it’s located between the wholesome outdoor museum of Skansen and the Tivoli Gröna Lund amusement park – which feels perfect for Abba’s unique blend of pop seriousness and exuberance. On the other hand, the museum is largely underground. Which feels appropriate, really. The museum tell the story of Abba’s career – from their breakthrough Eurovision hit “Waterloo” in 1974 to their split in 1983 – via photographs, audio clips and snazzy jumpsuits. Here are these lovely photos which smell of “knowing me knowing you, I’ve been waiting for you, tropical loveland, and thank you for the music”.
Thetraveljunkie.org – Truth be told, my Stockholm trip has been very special. And ABBA The Museum is one of my favorite museums. Enjoy listening to the story of ABBA, one of the most famous pop-bands in the world, from the waterfront. See the epic places where parts of ABBA The Movie were recorded and experience several of the places where the iconic pictures of ABBA were shot. And of course I got to hear many of the popular ABBA hits along the way. The boat took me around the beautiful and peaceful Djurgården and the tour finished at ABBA The Museum at Djurgården where I walked in the footsteps of ABBA.
Thetraveljunkie.org – The best thing about Stockholm is that you can visit different parts of the world without even leaving the city and Stockholm archipelago is a must-do. From south to north to south… Grisslehamn, Norrtälje, Ljusterö, Grinda, Vaxholm, Nacka, Gustavsberg, Sandhamn, Djurö, Dalarö, Utö, Nynäshamn, Gällnö, Finnhamn, On Svartsö and Möja. Situated near the water and an archipelago of nearly 30.000 islands, islets and skerries, Stockholm is unique.
Thetraveljunkie.org – I made a promise during my last slow trip around Sweden: to repeat the experience in France. That is why a few days ago I packed my rucksack, took an archipelago tour from Stockholm to Vaxholm and set off to spend a great weekend away. I visited places that none of me had previously visited during three days and reached one conclusion: you don’t have to fly thousands of miles away to see amazing things. The plan was that there was no plan, I just wanted to enjoy nature and my new friends
Thetraveljunkie.org – It is no secret that Border Music is one of our fave music distributions — has been an independent music distributor in over 30 years and launched artists like The Knife, First Aid Kit, Club 8, The War On Drugs and Antony and the Johnsons. We met up with our friends from Border Music in their offices at Liljeholmen, to see the new collections and we were pleasantly surprised with a ‘photo shoot’. Once again, they have created fun, colourful songs and this winter is gloomy Stockholm. We cannot stop thinking about Swedes tunes. All we need now is winter songs. Long live Border Music!
Thetraveljunkie.org – Walking to get completely lost is the best way to get to know new places. This is exactly what I did in Stockholm walking around the Södermalm, Kungsholmen and Östermalm when we came across our new favourite place, Erna’s Bistro on Brantingsgatan 27, serving delicious food that combines Indonesian and Swedish cuisine and with a great atmosphere which will see us return on our next visit. Here are some of the photos from our visit!
Thetraveljunkie.org – I joined a cycling group to do a fun way to rediscover Stockholm! We started at Historiska Museet, shopping centre, where stop to eat like a local. Yep, we rode along the glorious view of the city – the Stockholm City Hall (Stadshuset), the Stockholm Palace, and the scene-district of Södermalm. I was super keen to do this ride – particularly because I’ve always wanted to ride all the way into the city!
Thetraveljunkie.org – The next morning in Bredängs Vandrarhem, my friend (bless her) came early and made bbq with sambal kecap for brunch. What a treat. Again we sat on the outside and enjoyed the sunshine, while chatting about life and the city. Oh my, it was bliss. It was soooooo delicious! Such simple pleasures! Overall, it was a such an nice and effortless holiday! I absolutely loved that we had so much time to be together as a family, enjoy each other’s company and just have fun.
Thetraveljunkie.org – As the biggest city in Scandinavia, Stockholm is a city of experiences. An eye for detail, good street style and strong public services make this a pleasant place to build a nest. Add proximity to nature and a bustling city centre to the proximity of stylish Swedes and you have an environment that’s perfect for both business and leisure. And, here are my favorite outdoor life in the city.
Thetraveljunkie.org – If there’s something I share is my growing love for nature. Paddle in the city and archipelago! Rent a kayak or canoe and paddle your way from island to island. Paddle among all the city’s islands and walk ashore when you feel like it. Have a coffee break, or even take a swim before paddling onward. An incredibly special way to discover Stockholm.
